Tyrell P34 the 6 Wheeled F1 car

Considered by many to be one of the most recognizable designs in the history of motorsports.
While only considered to be "marginally successful" the design did achieve a 1-2 finish for the two cars entered in the 1976 Swedish Gran Prix.

Unfortunately, the tire manufacturer was not able to keep pace with the advances in tire technology given the fact that only two cars on the entire starting grid were using the small front tires. The development  budget was being used on tires that were "more standard" to the rest of the field.

By the end of the season the car was becoming less and less competitive as the tires improved for the rest of the field.

The few examples of these cars that survive are crowd favorites wherever they show up. Whether at a show, or a vintage Gran Prix race.


And just for kicks... since the Hot Wheels seem to be popular....
