Throwback Thursday-Niki Lauda-1972

Niki Lauda, is racing hard at Monaco in his 1972 #4 STP March-Ford 721X

If you are going to add a racing stripe up the side, you should commit to it. Rather, the team started a white stripe on the top, and kept it on the front wing. The red logo on identical red scheme comes back, but this time the ovals are slightly more visible. The logo setup on the front wing should be on the rest of the car. I also don’t like the OIL TREATMENT lettering that is clearly on the side of the windshield. It’s a D+ that had the potential to be an A scheme.

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes. View all posts by dgf2099
