Competition history
Debut1983

The March 832 was a British open-wheel Formula 2 racing car, built by March Engineering in 1983. The car's best result in Formula 2 racing was third in the 1983 championship season with Beppe Gabbiani scoring 4 wins with Onyx Racing. After finding moderate success in open-wheel racing, the car was converted to a closed-wheel sports prototype for the revived Can-Am series, it and competed in 1984. It was powered by the 2-liter BMW M12/7B engine. Kim Campbell won the 2-liter Can-Am Championship that season, not scoring any wins, but scoring four podiums, which was enough to clinch the championship. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
