Eifelland Racing Drivers
Eifelland was a German Formula One team, named after its owner Günther Hennerici's caravan manufacturing company. The name Eifelland was chosen after the Eifel mountains where Hennerici was born, which are located close to the Nürburgring. History Günther's twin brother, Heinz Hennerici, was a World War II tank commander who lost his left arm in combat. The accident didn't prevent him from becoming a rather successful touring car racing driver, eventually competing in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. The Hennerici brothers were also instrumental in the establishment of the Automobil-Club Mayen. In 1970 Günther married , one of the few female Formula 2 and Sports car drivers around at the time. In 1971 Günther Hennerici decided to expand his activities to motor racing and founded his own team, Eifelland.

Luigi Colani
Luigi Colani (born Lutz Colani; 2 August 1928 – 16 September 2019) was a German industrial designer. His long career began in the 1950s when he designed cars for companies including Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Volkswagen, and BMW. In 1957, he dropped his first name ''Lutz'' using the name ''Luigi''. In the 1960s, he began designing furniture, and as of the 1970s, he expanded in numerous areas, ranging from household items such as ballpoint pens and television sets to uniforms and trucks and entire kitchens. A striking grand piano created by Colani, the ''Pegasus'', is manufactured and sold by the Wilhelm Schimmel, Schimmel piano company. His unconventional designs made him famous, not only in design circles, but also to the general public. He received numerous design awards, although his unconventional approach left him largely an outsider from the mainstream of industrial design. Style The prime characteristic of his designs are the rounded, organic forms, which he terms "bi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was driven by Ronnie Peterson, Niki Lauda, Henri Pescarolo, Rolf Stommelen and Mike Beuttler.

It came in three versions: the traditional 721, the 721X, and the 721G. The basic version of the 721, which did not have an additional designation in the form of a letter, was a slightly improved version of the old 711 and was built for customers such as Frank Williams Racing Cars and Günther Hennerici's Eifelland. It also served as an interim car for the factory team until the new 721X was ready. Eifelland's car was fitted with a new bodywork designed by Luigi Colani and was renamed as Eifelland E21. The March 721X was a completel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was race 10 of 12 in both the 1972 World Championship of Drivers and the 1972 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers.

1972 French Grand Prix
The 1972 French Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Circuit de Charade in Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, France on 2 July 1972. It was race 6 of 12 in both the 1972 World Championship of Drivers and the 1972 International Cup for Formula One Manufacturers. The Circuit de Charade's natural setting around the base of an extinct volcano created safety concerns due to the dark, volcanic rocks which fell from the mountain onto both sides of the track. Drivers who skirted the track edge would often send rocks flying into the middle of the road and into the way of pursuing competitors. The hazard was highlighted when driver Helmut Marko suffered a career-ending injury during the race, when a stone thrown from Ronnie Peterson's March penetrated his helmet visor and blinded him in the left eye. The rocks also meant that tyre punctures were a perennial hazard on the circuit, as was shown when ten competitors suffered punctures during the race. The French Grand Prix was move ...

Under doctor's orders, he took about three weeks off from everything, canceled his involvement with the Can-Am series and US TV for the remainder of 1972, and was restricting his schedule of everything else.
