The March 751 - A transitional single-seater
The March 751 was developed in 1975 by March Engineering, a British team founded in 1969. This single-seater represented a significant evolution compared to previous models, incorporating the new safety regulations imposed after the tragic accidents of 1974.
Powered by a 3-litre Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engine producing around 480bhp, the March 751 stood out with its pristine white livery and elegant design typical of the mid-1970s. This car marked a pivotal period when manufacturers had to reconcile performance with increased safety.
Although not the most competitive on the grid, the March 751 managed to hold its own thanks to its reliability and ease of driving, essential qualities for a driver like Lella Lombardi who had to prove herself in an exclusively male environment.
March Engineering - British Audacity
Founded in 1969 by Max Mosley, Alan Rees, Graham Coaker and Robin Herd , March Engineering (an acronym of their initials) quickly established itself as an innovative manufacturer. The British brand was characterized by its ability to produce high-performance chassis for both Formula 1 and lower categories.
In 1975, March was undergoing a period of reconstruction following the financial difficulties of the early 1970s. The team took a pragmatic approach, prioritizing the reliability and affordability of their single-seaters. This philosophy allowed less fortunate drivers to access the highest level of motorsport.
March Engineering also demonstrated remarkable openness by welcoming Lella Lombardi, demonstrating the progressive vision of its leaders at a time when a female presence in Formula 1 was unthinkable for most teams.
Lella Lombardi - Motorsport Pioneer
Maria Grazia "Lella" Lombardi remains to this day the only female driver to have scored points in Formula 1. Born in 1941 in Frugarolo, this Italian car enthusiast climbed all the ranks of Italian motorsport before reaching the Holy Grail of F1.
On May 25, 1975, at the Spanish Grand Prix at Montjuïc, Lella Lombardi made history by finishing sixth in her March 751. Although the race was interrupted prematurely following an accident, she officially earned half a championship point, becoming the first and only woman to score in Formula 1.
This historic achievement was no accident. Lombardi had already excelled in Formula 5000 and endurance racing, notably at the 24 Hours of Le Mans , where she won several victories. Her determination and natural talent earned her the respect of her male peers, who were reluctant to accept a female presence in their world.
Beyond her sporting achievements, Lella Lombardi symbolizes courage and perseverance . She paved the way for other female drivers and demonstrated that automotive talent knows no gender. Her white March 751 number 10 remains a testament to this exceptional page of history in world motorsport.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
