[edit]

The "complete" F1 results section omits many March drivers' names, and in places lists non-works drivers and omits works ones.

Unfortunately, doing it properly will mean that years like 1970-72 and 76-77 will look awful...

Focus on F1

[edit]

This Article focuses far too much on Formula One. March are better know for production single seater racing cars for the lower formulae - particularly in the seventies and early eighties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir smellybeard (talkcontribs) 09:55, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MARCH or MaRCH

[edit]

I always understood that the March acronym was derived from its founding partners — i.e. Max Mosley, Rees, Coaker and Herd — but that for the resulting MRCH name the A was simply added, and not necessarily because Rees was called Alan. Lustigson (talk) 07:47, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Page 15 of Alan Henry's March: The Grand Prix & Indy Cars says "...their joint project, the name of which was an acronym produced from their initials (Mosley, Alan Rees, Coaker, Herd)". DH85868993 (talk) 12:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to one story doing the rounds at the time the company was formed the name was derived from “Much Advertised Racing Car Hoax”… Mr Larrington (talk) 01:56, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
