A few weeks back I was given this amazing opportunity to experience a childhood dream of mine and drive the Tyrrell P34 at Donington Park!

I love how absolutely miniscule these cares used to be. Today's F1 cars are aircraft carriers by comparison, and while I know that they are much, much safer than they were in the '70s partially because of their size (definitely a good thing) I do kind of wish that they would start shrinking again for more on-track action.

One thing that never gets mentioned, I read in an interview from Derek Gardner that the primary reason was the old crossply tires would “balloon” or grow significantly at high speeds, and by having tiny tires that don’t grow as much, you get much more stable aerodynamics at high speeds, but one set of 10” wheels wasn’t enough tire for lateral loads, so they put in two sets.

Awesome video. I heard that one of Tyrell's drivers hated the car because at tracks with a lot of elevation changes, the wheelbase would effectively change, because some wheels wouldn't be touching the ground at the tops and bottoms of hills. I would say it's a shame you didn't get to experience that quirk of a 6 wheeler, but it's probably for the best lol.

@OsellaSquadraCorse 9 ай бұрын

Scheckter said it - same thing with kerbs, and also that under braking, weight transfer made the 'middle' wheels easily lock up as the force kept travelling forward to the front two wheels, unloading the central set (and then also overloading the front, which then also locked!), making the braking performance wildly variable. This is why he said it was good at tracks like Anderstorp and the Osterreichring, where there were more long-radius corners; but hopeless at Long Beach. This was also why he then moved to Wolf for 1977! ;)

@ernestogasulla7763 Ай бұрын

They hated it because up to 1973 Tyrrell was a perennial title contender, so after Stewart's retirement and Cevert's death both Scheckter and Depailler expected to challenge for the title. Driving a conventional four wheeler, Jody indeed challenged for the 1974 title. But in 1976 this car only managed one win for Jody plus a number of #2 paces, while Lauda (Ferrari) won 5 despite his horrible accident, and Hunt (McLaren) won 6. That caused Scheckter to quit the team and became an instant contender with the unproven Wolf.
