March 76B

The March 76B is an open-wheel formula racing car, designed, developed and built by March Engineering, for Formula Atlantic racing, in 1976. Gilles Villeneuve won the 1976 CASC Formula Atlantic Players Championship Series outright, winning 4 out of the 6 races that season. March cars dominated that season, taking all the race victories, clinching all the pole positions, and scoring all the fastest race laps. The car's chassis design was a monocoque, and was constructed out of aluminum. It was powered by a {{cvt|1.6|L|cuin}} Ford-Cosworth BDA four-cylinder engine, which droves the rear wheels through a 5-speed Hewland F.T.-200 manual gearbox. Ian Scheckter also notably won the 1976 South African Formula Atlantic Championship driving this car, scoring 7 race wins that season.{{Cite web|url=https://www.racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/120638/march-76b-formula-atlantic?Published_by_Mike_Walters|title=March 76B Formula Atlantic|website=www.racecarsdirect.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.oldracingcars.com/fb/1976/|title=Formula B 1976 « OldRacingCars.com|website=www.oldracingcars.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z9352/march-76b.aspx|title=1976 March 76B|website=conceptcarz.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.conceptcarz.com/s9352/march-76b.aspx|title=1976 March 76B technical and mechanical specifications - .com|website=conceptcarz.com}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.race-cars.com/Advert/Details/128891/1976-march-76b-race-ready|title=1976 March 76B Race ready|website=www.race-cars.com|date=10 April 2022 }}{{Cite web|url=https://soec.org/lemay-spotlight-march-76b/|title=LEMAY SPOTLIGHT: MARCH 76B|first=Wayne|last=Mertz|date=November 29, 2019}}
