The March 711 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Robin Herd and Geoff Ferris, for the 1971 season, and saw continued use throughout the 1972 season.[1][2][3]
History
For its first Grand Prix, in 1971, the March 711 was entered by the official March Engineering team with Ronnie Peterson, Andrea de Adamich, Alex Soler-Roig, Niki Lauda, and Nanni Galli. During this season, Peterson finished second four times in Monaco, Great Britain, Italy, and Canada. The best qualification of the season is a fifth place for Peterson in Great Britain. Peterson finishes second in the Drivers' World Championship behind Jackie Stewart and aheadFrancois Cevert. On the constructors' side, the team finished fourth, behind Scuderia Ferrari and ahead of Team Lotus.[4]
During this season, Frank Williams enters a March 711 for Henri Pescarolo. His best qualification is the tenth place in Germany and Italy and his best result a fourth place in Great Britain. Skip Barber is also entering a few Grands Prix with Gene Mason Racing. His best qualification is twenty-fourth place in the Netherlands and Canada. However, he did not manage to finish any races. Finally, Mike Beuttler joins Clarke-Mordaunt-Guthrie Racing; his best qualification was sixteenth place in Italy, but he does not finish any race.[5]
In 1972, the March 711 was entered full-time only by Team Williams Motul with Carlos Pace. His best qualification is the eleventh place in Belgium, France, and Germany. The best result obtained is the fifth place in Belgium which allows him to score 3 points and to rank eighteenth in the world championship ahead of Tim Schenken and behind Andrea de Adamich.
