The March 711 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Robin Herd and built by March Engineering. The 711 was the replacement for the company's first ever F1 car, the 701, and made its debut in the 1971 South African Grand Prix. Although it never won a race, the 711 was frequently competitive, and secured several podiums as March took fourth in the constructor's standings. The 711 was usually used with a Cosworth DFV V8 engine, but one car used the Alfa Romeo T33 V8 instead. The car was notable for featuring a "tea tray" style front wing, mounted on top of the car's nosecone. The car was replaced by the updated March 721 for 1972, although the 711 did see some action in privateer hands during that season.
