The March 702 was a Formula 2 racing car and was built by March Engineering in 1970.
Development history and technology
The March 702 was the first-ever Formula 2 car built by March. The vehicle was based on the March 693 Formula 3 racing car from 1969. For Formula 2, the frame tubes were reinforced, which put the weight of the car at the upper limit. A Cosworth FVA engine was used as the drive. After a year of development work and building a lighter chassis, the car became competitive at the end of the season.[1]
