The 1974 March 741 was a logical refinement of designer Robin Herd's idea to marry his dominant straight-forward F2 chassis with the Cosworth DFV for F1. It was a theme that proved very aerodynamically efficient and would be continued through 1976.
This car, chassis 741-1, was driven by young German star Hans-Joachim Stuck in the first seven races of 1974, finishing brilliantly in the World Championship points with a 4th in the Spanish Grand Prix and 5th in the South African Grand Prix. Stuck followed with top ten qualifications in Belgium and Monaco. 741-1 was driven by Sweden's Reine Wisell in the Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstop and by Italian Vittorio Brambilla in the Frend Grand Prix at Dijon-Prenois. Stuck then drove it home in 7th place in his home German Grand Prix at Nurburgring with backing from his F2 sponsor, Jagermeister.
Today: After being withdrawn from works team competition, 741-1 was purchased by Sir Nick Williamson to contest the 1976 RAC British Hill-Climb Championship, the former Champion winning at Bouley Bay. In 1977 Roy lane purchased the car and rebuilt it as a hill-climb special, winning at Le Val des Terres, Prescott, and Doune. Retired in 1985, 741-1 sat mothballed until 2005 when purchased by the current owner. Owner/driver Steve Cook of Yountville, California, took two years to restore 741-1 to the 1974 F1 specifications and livery as last seen at the Nurburgring in 1974.
