It comes from Max (Mosely), Alan Rees and Robin Herd. The "C" is possibly Charlie Whiting.

The horrific accident suffered by Niki Lauda and his brave return. Actually there were three things because James Hunt won the World Championship (deservedy so) despite FISA shenanigans.

**skycafe** · 11 Feb 2006, 15:44 (Ref:1520388)

Super Swede was Ronnie Peterson?

1976 Formula One year would be remembered for Lauda's horrific crash and then return, and James Hunt's World Championship

1973 British GP--remembered because it had to be stopped after first lap crash?

'March' was contraction of owner's names, Max Mosley was one, Alan Reese (?), don't recall others.

1977 Austrian Grand Prix was only March factory team GP victory (I think) and only victory by Vito Brambilla.

ASCII Man is correct about Pedro and Ricardo Rodriguez.

that's my limit, and I realize not in order....

2) M (Max Moseley) AR (Alan Rees) C (Graham Coaker) H (Robin Herd)

3) James Young Stewart aka Jackie

4) Jody Scheckter's big crash on the first lap that caused the race to be stopped; the Surtees three car team was eliminated and Andrea de Adamich effectively ended his career.

5) Super Swede was Ronnie Peterson
