Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler

The Tyrrell P34, colloquially known as the Six-Wheeler, was an unconventional Formula One car design by Derek Gardner of Tyrrell powered by the highly competitive Cosworth DFV 3.0L V8 engine. The car was used in the 1976 and 1977 seasons to some amount of success, scoring numerous podiums and one win; it was introduced in the middle of the 1976 season. The car was driven by future World Champion Jody Scheckter, Ronnie Peterson and Patrick Depailler. A few years after the P34s introduction, Formula One banned cars with more than four wheels from competing. Seven chassis were produced, in addition to one unused tub which would be used to construct an extra car in the 1990s. The initial liveries are based on the chassis driven by Scheckter and run by Elf Team Tyrrell for the 1976 and 1977 Formula One Season.
