Description:

This car was supplied by March to BMW Motorsport in 1970 to
evaluate against their own chassis for Formula 2. It is the only 702
which was fitted with the BMW instead of the Cosworth FVA and
this was done by the March works.

History

This is the car that was supplied by March to BMW Motorsport in 1970 to
evaluate against their own chassis.
The car, somewhat predictably, did not prove competitive in BMW's eyes, we believe by lack of
proper development, and was discarded by BMW and left in a corner of the
workshop.
