Derichs
Germany’s only F3 constructor of the early 1980s, Erwin Derichs constructed a number of distinctive looking if generally not too competitive cars. They were built to contest the German F3 series and cars were being produced up until 1984
1974
A singleton D34 chassis was run in the German F3 series for Hans Hargarten, it used a Ford engine and was never very competitive, the best result was a third place in a poor field at Salzburg.
1975
Erwin Derichs ran his own Ford powered car in the German F3 championship, it wasn’t very competitive and recorded no top 6 finishes.
1976
At least two cars were built for 1976, designated the D36 one was fitted with a BMW engine the other with a Ford. Results were poor in the German F3 championship with a best finish of tenth, taken by Derichs himself.
