Iso-Marlboro FW
The Williams FW was a Formula One car used by Frank Williams Racing Cars during the 1973, 1974 and 1975 seasons. It was designed by John Clarke. The car was initially designated in 1973 as the Iso–Marlboro IR and two examples started the season. One was destroyed in an accident at the 1973 German Grand Prix, and a replacement was built. When Marlboro and Italian sports car manufacturer Iso both withdrew their backing before the 1974 season, the two cars were renamed for 1974 as the Iso–Marlboro FW. Another example was completed during the 1974 season.

The result was the IR (the initials standing for Iso Rivolta, although the company had no part in the car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
