Both left the team shortly after and the idea was not taken further. Robin Herd at March Engineering, on a suggestion from Wright, used a similar concept on the 1970 March Formula One car. In both cars the sidepods were too far away from the ground for significant ground effect to be generated, and the idea of sealing the space under the wing section to the ground had not yet been developed.
The two individuals left the team shortly after, and the concept was abandoned. Robin Herd at March Engineering, with Wright's guidance, applied a similar idea in the 1970 March Formula One car. Both cars suffered from sidepods that were too far away from the ground to produce substantial ground effect, and the notion of sealing the space under the wing section to the ground had not yet been explored.
