RAP should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Using the F1R Fact Book (I don’t have MN) I have identified the following non-British based 713M recorded-
11 April Nurburgring Gygax BUT the Germen F3 site lists this as a 703 which I tend to believe.
22 May Monaco J P Jarier DNA and never appears again so a speculative entry?
The first “probable” is Dietmar Floer (Sc Corsa Meda) Ricard 3 July but he either dna or dnq’d. He next appears 24 July Imola where he crashed then Monza 19 Sept, Brands 24 Oct dna
W Deutsch Magny Cours 14 July dna
Freddy Link at Silverstone 17 July & Monza 19 Sept (dns) Brands 24 Oct SHOWN as 712M
M Mohr Mendig 29 August
W Sommer Thruxton 19 Sept

The German F3 site does not distinguish between 713M & 713S but at Mendig 29 Aug Eifelland have 7 cars recorded in the results as 713 so that supports Adam’s info on 6 x 713S + 1 x 713M.
“!just think that F1R has done its usual trick of extending a single chassis observation across a whole season.”
in the F3 Fact books they don’t do this = chassis numbers are recorded only again individual meetings, based, I believe, on observation. The data is
21 March Hunt 713S 1, Walkinshaw 713M 1, Goss 713M 4, Williamson 713M 3
18 July McInerney 713M 9
21 Aug Bond 713M 10
29 May 72 Spitzley 712M 11, de Henning 713M 9

By chance I have found in Autosport 20 May 71 “ One of the four F3 cars which arrived at Oulton on Saturday was the 713M formerly owned by Charles McIntosh-Ried and driven once or twice by Tom Walkinshaw. McIntosh-Reid had hoped that Tecalemit-Jackson would be helping to develop an engine for the car but the deal fell through and the car was traded to Chris Oates who has installed Mike Tobitt’s Holbay motor. Oates is still committed to his Formula Atlantic drive and the March will only be raced until a suitable buyer is found”
Oates is a dna at Brands 30 May then no sign.
It seems that Walkinshaw drove both 713M-1 & 713M-7 during the early season.
