Eifelland - Profile (1565 words) |
 | Nevertheless, when the Eifelland was launched unusually in front of the German tabloid press, Colani strutted his stuff, proclaiming that other designs knew nothing about aerodynamics. |
| When the Eifelland turned up in South Africa for the second round of the 1972 World Championship in its all-white livery, gone was any trace of Colani's original front wing, and in its place the March 711-style tea-tray. |
| At the same time as the F1 effort, Eifelland had also run Type 23 F3 cars based on the March 723, but these were sold and appeared as late as 1974 and 1975, when badged as Rheinlands. |
| 8W - What? - Eifelland (2659 words) |
| The Eifelland Typ 21 driven by Rolf Stommelen during the 1972 season was a stunner by outward appearance but lacked any form of real speed. |
| The Eifelland F3 cars - March 723s which had undergone severe nose surgery to become a Typ 23 - underwent the same fate, although as late as 1974 one of the Typ 23s briefly returned as the F3 Rheinland. |
| In sportscars, Rolf had his Alfa drive to keep him busy, and it was because of this and his close ties with Brabham that he was chosen to step into Andrea De Adamich's shoes in the third Brabham, the Alfa protege having hurt himself in the notorious 1973 Silverstone pile-up. |
