Year Information: Designed and produced by March Engineering the 771 six wheeler was introduced in an effort to combat the problem of air flow and drag around the rear of the car. Reducing the size of the rear wheels alone was not sufficient in that the roadholding and thus the control of the car was considerably reduced. This reduction in roadholding was counteracted by having four rear wheels instead of two.
One of the most distinctive cars in the Scalextric range the March 771 has a long narrow body. The model is extended by the extra pair of wheels at the back making up the complete 4-wheel rear assembly. The additional wheels are not used for driving the model but do help in the handling. The engine and gearbox detail is exceptionally good and contrasts well with the green and white racing colours. The fine handling characteristics of this model make it an ideal model to commence driving in the Super Formula class.
