A return of 'March' to Formula One
New team entry submitted to the FIA
30/05/09 09:39

March Racing Organisation has submitted an entry to the FIA to participate in the 2010 championship.

March Engineering was originally formed in 1969 by Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker and Robin Herd sold Akira Akagi to run under Leyton House branding in 1989. The team reverted to the March name in 1992 with Andrew Fitton taking over ahead of the team’s closure.

Fitton retains the rights to the March name and made his application to the FIA early this week, receiving confirmation of his entry on Thursday.


Along with Lola, Prodrive and USF1, MarchF1 has made their entry ahead of the deadline still unsure to what rules they will run in 2010 and await the publication on the 2010 entry list in July 12th.

Quality teams running three cars >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> more dreadful two car teams.

Well that was unexpected. Does March even have facilities?

26+ cars made up of good and average teams >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 20 cars made up of good teams

While some people might dismiss this entry, I think it would be great to see the name March appear back on the grid... when you talk about marques with racing history, and even F1 history, it's certainly one that comes to mind, even though they never reached the heights of comparable outfits such as Brabham, Ligier and Tyrrell, let alone Lotus and Williams. The names March, Dallara and Lola definitely have racing history and pedigree to contribute, and I would like to see them on the grid.

That said, I now feel sad that apparently only 13 teams will make the cut. Assuming that Prodrive/Aston Martin has perhaps the strongest position to make it, and apparently USF1 has been a long time in the making as well, we may only get to see ONE of those 3 on the grid.

Now I am hoping that there will be a change of heart concerning the number of maximum entries allowed. 32 cars... wow... the 12 currently lowest ranking cars in the championship in a 1-hour pre-qualifying shootout on Friday (which doubles up as additional testing time for the teams in question), with the top-6 from that, let's say, 1-hour heat making it to the race, anyone?

LET THEM ALL IN!!

One more thing... am I the only one to think that March will SURELY make it into the 13 approved teams? Seems hard to believe that a team with such strong historical ties to Max Mosley would NOT get the nod here ...

See Fiero's post elsewhere and earlier when he predicted the return of MARCH. That Fiero.....one mucho smart gringo....

Dallara thread...post 12

I might be wrong, but at the moment I think this is bollocks.

No other site has picked up on this 'news'. The official FIA website makes no mention of it.

Maybe Max has the ultimate goal of putting MARCH back on the map. Generate a little retirement income.

LOL

Who's laughing now?

Now all we need is Lotus and we'll almost have the band back together.

A little late for April 1st.
