March...erm, I mean MARCH?

March.erm, I mean really? MARCH?

Is that Max Mosely's March which collapsed in 1992 with emotional debts bordering on the untennable. The empty shell company which has been kept alive like a pet by a sporting entreprenooor? Sound familliar?

C'mon Max. What's next Andrea Moda? At least they have the integrity of being completely inept. March won races but mostly wallowed in the shadow of the big man's ego.

All that I'm asking you fellas of the Stoddy shop is: Is this motly crew who we are supposed to get up in the stupid o'clock to follow instead of the manufacturers?



Oh and can someone call a taxi for Mr.Mosely?

It's not. It's the guy that owned them when they fell apart in 1992. Mosely had nothing to do with that team.

March too? Who's next?
Seriously, now that I read this, I won't be surprised if Life or Andrea Moda make a come back.

We are literally days away from one of these new teams announcing Roberto Moreno as their lead driver. Good lord.

Max left MARCH in 1977, leaving Robin Herd as the only remaining founder still at the company....Alan Rees had moved to Shadow in 71 and Graham Coaker had quit in 71 also, Ironically and Tragically he was Killed racing a MARCH F2 car he had gotten as a settlement when he quit.............


Robin Herd was the only founder to remain with the company almost through it's entire existence...in 1989 the company was sold to Akira Akagi, who was the head of the teams sponsor Leyton House.....The team lasted till the end of the 1992 season.....

Oddly, in 1999 Robin Herd teamed up with Mike Earle, former owner of the Onyx Team and attempted to Bring MARCH back to F1, but they couldn't raise the financing.......

The Legend has already that record (AGS, Coloni, Eurobrun, Andrea Moda and Forti)! He is now about 50 years-old, but I guess he might still be fit for a drive! :o

Coloni are the one reject team that could feasibly make a comeback...

It seems that everyone with the commercial rights to the name of a defunct F1 team is jumping on the band wagen.
