1971 March 712

This was one of the competitors in the FIA Historic Formula 2 International Series race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2017.

It's the 1971 March 712 of Paul Bason and has a 4-cylinder inline 1,600cc Ford Cosworth BDA engine. The March 712 was the car favoured by several teams in the European Formula Two Championship in the 1971 season, which was won by Ronnie Peterson in a March Engineering 712. Paul Bason's car was driven by James Hunt for the Hesketh Racing team in 1972.

Here's Paul Bason at Brittens chicane during the race leading the 1971 Brabham BT36  of Klaus Bergs and the 1975 Chevron B29 of Gwyn Pollard.
