Safety Notice March 742 Racing Cars
In the last ten years I have supplied a number of rear wing mounting brackets to competitors with March 742 cars.
It has come to my attention that some may have been manufactured using material of incorrect specification and thickness. This can result in failure under high loads. Please advise owners to contact me to establish if their components are in this category, and I will supply free of charge replacement as necessary.

Neutralise your raceday emissions through targetneutral
Visitors to the Classic F3 race days are being encouraged to neutralisethe CO2 emissions caused by their driving through target neutral, a non-profit initiative operated by BP and overseen by a panel of top environmentalists chaired by Jonathon Porritt, Founder Director of Forum for the Future.
targetneutral’s simple online calculator, available a tthe Targetneutral web site here,enables drivers to work out how much CO2 their driving produces each year.  They can then sign up to the scheme and contribute the exact amount needed to neutralisetheir emissions.  These funds are invested by target neutral into independent environmental projects designed to preventor remove the equivalent emissions.
The cost of neutralising the emissions created by driving the averagecar 10,000 miles in ayear through targetneutral is around £20.
