The March 732 was a British open-wheel Formula 2 racing car, built by March Engineering and introduced in 1973. It was powered by the 2 L (120 cu in) BMW M12/7 engine. Its Formula Atlantic equivalent, the March 73B, was based on the 732. Frenchman Jean-Pierre Jarier eventually won the 1973 European Formula Two Championship driving a March 732, finishing the season with 8 wins, 9 podium finishes, 4 pole positions, 4 fastest laps, and 78 points.[3][4][5][6][7]
