Notes on the cars:
- March 702 [3] (Helmut Gall): Eifelland bought a March 702 for 1970, which was raced by Rolf Stommelen, then Helmut Gall and then Hannelore Werner. It was retained for the start of the 1971 season and was raced by Werner at Bogotá and later by Hermann Unold at Hockenheim and Willi Deutsch at Nürburgring where it was badly damaged.
- March 702 [2] (Malcolm Guthrie): Malcolm Guthrie ran 702-2 through the 1970 season but the car was not seen again after that season. It may have been sold via dealer Spencer Elton at some point with 702-1.
- March 702 [5] (Xavier Perrot): Xavier Perrot's car is recorded by Autosport early in 1970 as chassis 702-4 but is called 702-5 after its crash at Hockenheim in June. Race Report sees it as 702-5 throughout the season so 702-4 references are assumed to be typos. Like many of the 702s, this car disappears after the 1970 season but a history on race-cars.com states that it ran in the Canadian FB series and then became a CSR car in 1987 with a Cosworth BDD engine and raced on until 1994. That would suggest it was the car raced by Frank and Tim Simpson in FB in 1972. It appeared on race-cars.com in June 2000.
- BMW F270 [F2 70-1] (Kurt Ahrens): Jacky Ickx' regular car in 1970, F2-70-1 won at the Salzburgring and at Tulln-Langenlebarn that season. With F2-70-2 and F2-70-3 both racing the following day, the car that Bell wrecked in practice at Hockenheim in October is presumably F2-70-1.
- March 702 [1] (Ronnie Peterson): The first production March 702 was used by Chris Amon in the opening race as part of Malcolm Guthrie’s team and then by Ronnie Peterson for the rest of the season. Unseen in 1971 but presumably the “ex-Peterson” car that Geoff Inglis used for sprinting in 1972. History thereafter unclear as there appear to have been two 702s running in sprints and hillclimbs. Reappeared in 1985 when raced by Ian Giles in HSCC events when its papers said it had previously been used by Dave Harris in hillclimbs. Then to Simon Brien in Ireland in 1986.

Individual sources for this event
Autosport (7 May 1970 pp8-11) had a table showing all the cars, chassis numbers and other details. Numbers are missing for Calderella's Brabham BT30, the works Tecnos, Tino Brambilla's Ferrari and Weber's Lotus, all non-starters. Lamplough's Lola is given as SL100/6 which is odd as that car was said to have gone to Soler-Roig in mid-1968 and then to John Watson for 1969. "French-domiciled Pole Adam Potocki" had his brand new blue-and-white Lotus 69.
