When March Engineering exploded onto the Grand Prix scene at the start of 1970, few people in the motor racing game could recall having witnessed such an unlikely phenomenon.
Little more than six months after building its first Formula 3 special, it had produced F1 cars qualified on the front row of the grid for their first Grand Prix.
It was an achievement which the four men who started the company - Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Robin Herd and Graham Coaker - found as difficult to believe as anybody else.
but, as the story revealed within these pages makes clear, the precocious newcomers were destined to find F1 a tougher nut to crack than they might have imagined.
Having enjoyed fleeting Grand Prix success, March crossed the Atlantic to produce crushing domination of the US Indy car series in the early 1980s, before picking up the F1 gauntlet yet again at the start of 1987.
March: the Grand Prix & Indy Cars, published in 1989, charts the personal relationships, on-track drama and behind-the-scenes dealing which have shaped the fortunes of the Bicester-based constructor.
