March 703 - 713

[armarriott]

I am joining this very late. But as the Team Manager for Petonyer Team March I can clarify a few things. Saw a comment about the Bremner chassis. Geoff was a ship broker and knew the PCW Underwriting people who owned the Petonyer cab leasing business. He had won the Formula 1172 Championship like Max Mosley and bought a second hand Chevron F3.

PCW were already sponsoring Tom Walkinshaw, so Geoff put a deal together to have a new March but also for the team to run as the factory squad with a second car for Tom. Then March put in a third car and their works driver Ian Ashley. It all came together late, I was hired from Motoring News to manage it having handled the March early PR as a freelance. So we had a three car team. Geoff always had the same car which answers the original question.

I have lots of memories of that year - 1970.
