THORBURN STEPS UP TO HISTORIC FORMULA 2
Classic Formula 3 racer
David Thorburn has joined the Historic Formula 2 grid in a March 762 run when new by the Willi Kauhsen racing team.
Though it was raced by several drivers including Jochen Mass and Jacques Laffite, the car did not score any notable results in period for the
German team.
More recently, it has been rebuilt from a pile of bits by Greg
Caton and fitted with a two-litre Hart engine for historic F2 under the wing of Knockhill-based Graham Brunton Racing.
Thorburn said he “hopes to do a full season of F2 next year,” after spending around a year looking for the right car. “It feels very different to the Formula 3: way more power and grip,” he added, having successfully raced the ex-Martin Brundle Ralt RT3 in Classic F3 in recent seasons.
