The March 87P was a Formula One and Formula 3000 racing car designed by the March Racing Team and driven once in the 1987 Formula One season. The car was powered by a Cosworth DFZ V8 engine, and was driven by the 1986 International Formula 3000 champion, Italian Ivan Capelli.

Development

The 87P was designed by Gordon Coppuck, father of the first McLaren world champions which met to March after the acquisition of the same McLaren by Ron Dennis. It was powered by the Ford Cosworth DFZ engine. It should be said that these considerations were not taken into consideration as much for 87P since the March 871, which was the car designed for the World '87, but it was not possible to build the 871 in time for the Brazilian Grand Prix which was the opening round of the season.

Racing History

In 1987 March manager Cesare Gariboldi wants to take the adventure in the world of Formula 1 with his own team, the strength of positive experience from previous seasons in the International Formula 3000. In 1986 his team won the championship with Ivan Capelli as a driver, who had already raced in F1 with Tyrrell and AGS, so with these credentials the Japanese Leyton House sponsors decided to finance the project of Gariboldi, and was chosen as the technical structure reference the March Engineering, who took charge of designing and developing the car for Formula 1 in 87, although the English house was missing from the circus since 1982. thus was born the Leyton house March Racing team.

The 87P was raced by Ivan Capelli, the only driver of the March Racing Team in 1987, but was supported by the Danish Kris Nissen in the testing work. The car was deployed only on Jacarepaguà circuit, which hosted the 1987 Brazilian Grand Prix, as the technicians were able to make available the March 871 at the San Marino Grand Prix, Therefore the 87P was used only for a Grand Prix, which by the way was stingy with satisfaction. The machine proved extremely slow and Ivan Capelli won the last time on the grid, turning almost twenty seconds slower than Nigel Mansell, who instead left in pole position. Even the gap to Pascal Fabre, who sailed the penultimate with a modest AGS, was very broad or nearly four seconds. In light of this vast difference in performance and the fact that the 87P probably could not finish the race because of his too small tank, the team decided not to deploy it on the grid, saving a racing engine.
