MARCH 821 - 1982 F1 SEASON - Mug
The March 821 was a British Formula One racing car used by the John MacDonald-owned RAM Racing in the 1982 Formula One World Championship. Regardless of its model designation, the car had no connection with long-established race car manufacturer March Engineering. The car did not score any world championship points. Designed by Adrian Reynard, a total of five cars were built. It was also the last Formula One car to bear the "March" name until 1987, with March focusing most of their attention and resources into CART IndyCar racing.
Contrary to the general trend towards turbo engines, RAM continued to stick to naturally aspirated engines. As with the previous model, RAM used a 3.0-liter eight-cylinder Cosworth DFV engine in the 821. As a result, the team increasingly fell behind in terms of performance: while the DFV engines, depending on the tuner, delivered between 490 and 530 hp, the turbo engines already achieved 560 hp (Hart) or 600 hp (Ferrari, Renault) during the 1982 season.
RAM started out in 1982 as the Rothmans March Grand Prix Team. Initially, Jochen Mass and Raul Boesel were intended as regular drivers. Adrian Reynard retroactively considered the decision to be a mistake: Mass was too old to still drive risky, while Brazilian debutant Boesel lacked the experience.
