It is hard to believe that it is now some 44 years since he met a tragic and untimely end at Hockenheim on a damp and miserable April Sunday. It's perhaps even more surprising that Jim Clark is still held in such awe by so many people that books, magazine articles and web sites are still appearing to this day. Just like this one in fact.

Although 11 Formula 1 cars were sold in 1970, March was in big financial difficulties. For 1972, a completely new design that was intended to be a technical break-through, would hopefully bring March to the top of the field. Pictured is the first of the 721X's constructed.
