Fire up the March
Octane
|August 2023
South Africa's Charles Arton had to bring his March 79B back from the dead
-
THIS MARCH 79B, chassis 21, was raced by F1 driver Derek Daly in Formula Atlantic in America in the late 1970s. I bought the car from the States in 2012, shipped it out to Cape Town and raced it for a bit and then, realising how special it was, decided to have it fully rebuilt. I took the car to Steve Humble of Harp Motorsport - he came out to South Africa supporting David Piper decades ago and, thank goodness, stayed. He carried out a total restoration, down to the last rivet.
