[@aerotube7291]

Oh yeah, so what's that like then? Are they battery or gas powered? As a kid the grasshopper and hornet models were popular in the offroafing model range but not sure they were kits...was it 380 and 540 motor interchangeability?.....anyways genuine question...

[@SRFriso94]

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.

[@BenCollinsDrives]

Agree the moderns are too big - cant see the logic

[@capnrob97]

@@BenCollinsDrives I read it is due to no refueling anymore in F1, they need to be bigger to hold more fuel.

[@ThePentosin]

Not really. there is plenty of space to shrink the cars.

[@Appletank8]

There is space to shrink the cars, however teams generally push the size up to regulation limits because more car = more aero. Now weight would be a bit harder

[@patrickr4762]

Next regs on 2026 they are making the car smaller, not as small as the old F1 cars but def. smaller than the current ones. All the drivers are complaining as well and its harder to drive in Monaco these days w/ that size.

I remember as kid watching on TV, as Scheckter and Depailler wrestled this beautiful blue beast along the streets of Monaco. In qualifying at Monaco in 1976, Depailler was 4th on the grid and Jody 5th. Jody finished 2nd and Patrick 3rd. Ken Tyrrell and his team - what memories.

This is such a treasured piece of F1 automotive history. Every time I saw a model of the Tyrell or it on TV I'd never take my eyes off of it! It's such a unique piece of engineering and a great example of someone thinking outside the box of rule makers. I loved the commentary, Ben. You really did it justice!

[@willbeasy2898]

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.

[@BassCannon1]

Always loved that car, it was so darn unique. I heard the tiny front wheels were a limitation because the tire manufacturers never invested a lot of development time into them.

[@crusherbmx]

Best P34 vid so far! Born in 1970, so this era of cars is what I first learned about as exotic race cars, in magazines, picture books, and the sporadic TV coverage of the time....Lotus 72, McLaren M23, Porsche 917, Porsche 935, McLaren M8 Can-Am, etc.....but this...this was the ultimate, craziest, most exotic of all....6 freaking wheels!

[@BenCollinsDrives]

[@DaniMacYo]

I love the classic F1 cars. Don’t get me wrong my favourite is the V10 modern era. But man 60’s to 90’s has some awesome machines. Particularly 60’s and 70’s for me. Scary things but beautiful as well. Great footage.

[@gohumberto]

This video is better than watching any actual F1 race during the last few decades. It has what F1 lacks now ....... EXCITEMENT!!! I think F1 should consider relaxing rules that stifle radical design, so we end up with cars that look differently. Bring back Fan Cars and 6 wheelers.

[@clumsygarage1578]

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]

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]

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.

[@bicyclist2]

Wow! Watching the Sting in my all time favorite F1 car is so cool. I wish that I was old enough to have watched this car race in period. I had no idea that the Stig was not much older than I am. Thank you.

I was at Watkins Glen when these cars raced. That was a fun time to watch F1. The garage was open 24 hours a day and we could just wander through and chat with drivers and various team members. I have some great pictures. It was a very casual time compared to today. The Cosworth DFV and especially the Ferrari and Matra 12 cylinders sounded great! Wonderful memories!

[@fogf1]

I was there as well!!!

[@wg1980hr]

Me too. I grew up in Watkins Glen and was working for a concession stand selling race team t-shirts, hats, etc. in '76. Tyrell was one of the featured brands we sold, and the concession owner worked it out for us to set up a kiosk selling just the Tyrell gear from inside the Tyrell team bays in the Kendall Tech Center. My buddy and I spent the weekend working right in front of the cars and team whenever the cars were off track. Sat. evening as the crowd was winding down and the mechanics were relaxing, one of them offered to let us sit in the car. It was Depailler"s #4, maybe this same chassis! Even as a scrawny 14yr. old, it felt cramped!

[@xarionnoirax9783]

The P34 was the car that got me hooked with F1 as a youngster. It was something never seen before on TV,a vehicle with 6 wheels was eye opening

[@nathangoshawk]

Although much smaller than I remember them, one of my favourite aspects of the P34 was those side windows, because they allowed just a glimpse of how hard the driver was working at the wheel. This was completely hidden until the arrival of the miniature cameras used today.

[@OldStreetDoc]

My God I do love that sound… The six-wheeled Tyrell is a wacky looking race car, it truly is. But it’s too easily forgotten that there is some serious engineering behind that wacky look. Those are the days I miss. When some clever guys come up with a VERY clever, but nearly ridiculous ‘looking’ idea and make it a working and competitive reality. The regulations give you ‘boxes’ you can work in. But those boxes are so so small today. My God I do love that sound……… Well done, mate! Thanks for showing us this wonderful machine. 👍🏼
