Description:


The car has had a largely cosmetic go through in the last year and the engine started and run in January of 2003. All fasteners were replated and metal parts polished. The car is very well detailed. Only the control arms need a touch of scotchbrite. The wheels were resealed and the tires hold air.

History

For 1983 CART banned ground effect skirts in an attempt to reduce downforce, but the revised aerodynamics of the March 83C soon proved that a lost hope. Ralph Bellamy had worked extensively in the wind tunnel and the one-piece carbon fibre underwing was promoted by March as being as significant a development as ground effects.
