Description:


This front running March Indy car has been
object of a recent complete restoration by a professional race prep shop to race ready condition.
It is in proper road race trim, with big calipers and wings and a Hewland gearbox. The DFX
was completely rebuilt as part of the restoration and has less than 150 miles on it since the rebuild.
The car retains it's original methanol fuel configuration.

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.

Competition History

The car has run approximately 150 mile in testing only since restoration.
