I think you do modern drivers a disservice. Yes, newer cars have all manner of driver aids but I'd bet if they could drive a simpler car and still be competitive they would. Don't forget, these people LOVE driving.

@@DR-br5gb this is exactly what innovation is. It's about thinking outside the box, and actually DOING things and actually trying them in real life instead of just concepts on paper.

AngeryAnimal except it didnt. Ferrari and mclaren were still ahead of this car. And this car only has 1 race victory. They even stopped using this car by themselves without even getting banned
I love that era of F1 cars for their looks. They look so cartoon-like with the massive rear tyres and relatively small front tyres. And the bodies are so clean as well.
The driver is Pierluigi Martini, and that is his car, he bought it few years ago, and when i asked to him how it felt about the driving, he answered me that it was like driving a Rolls Royce because is more confortable than it looks
It makes a lot of sense. You can tell the driver is ex-F1. And judging by one sequence in particular, which begins around 3:42 and lasts approximately ten seconds, you can see the adrenaline at work, which means to say (using a Murray Walker expression) that he wasn't just out to do a few exhibition laps. ;)

It isn't explained why it has 6 wheels, if it handles better, why its legendary, doesn't look like its from 1977, why don't modern F1 cars use 6 wheels? This video was recommended and its not that great. The car is cool looking, the car gets a like, but this video certainly does not.
One of my favourite all time F1 cars. The innovation around that time was phenomenal and this car is one of the best examples of it. There isn’t a lot of good footage going around of the car so thanks for the share, Bozzy!
My favorite F1 car of all time. the seventies was the decade with the best drivers and the most inovative cars. the true golden age of F1. R.I.P. Niki Lauda.
@@motogplounge6305 The 80s had some great drivers but the 70s had more great drivers. You just can't beat Stewart, Peterson, Fittipaldi, Lauda, Cevert, Siffert, Hunt, Regazzoni, Hulme, Ickx, Scheckter, Villeneuve, Pace, Amon and the whole lot.
Memories. Absolute legend! I got to see the P34 live in action at the Nürburgring 1976 German Gran Prix. Jody Scheckter was one of the drivers. This was a thrill because I watched him battle it out with Mark Donohue only several years prior in the Porshe 917-30 Spyders in Can Am at Watkins Glen. Those were the days!
The closeup stills are total engineering porn. So cool to see it getting driven hard. Still looks as edgy and outrageous as ever. One of the ultimate F1 cars.
With the extra two wheels, even though they were much smaller, you actually had a greater patch area by some 15% than with two large tires. Thus the handling through the corners was better, which allowed the driver to go deeper into turns at speed.
@@xavierjuno4572 Because that the wheels were smaller in diameter to accommodate the smaller tires, that in turn, had a significant lower center of gravity which would keep the tire in contact with the track surface better than a taller tire. The smaller tires had virtually zero sidewall roll in turns so the contact patch was maintained through-out the turn, enabling the car to out- corner anything else racing at the time. That is why FERRARI cried foul so loudly, because they nor any one else could keep up. The drivers that drove the Tyrrell said it was on rails and could produce over three Gs in a tight turn. Nothing since has been able to out perform it through turns. The science and thought put into this design worked very well, too well in fact, which lead the design to be banned by the F1 sanctioning rules committee a year later. Again, Ferrari gets there shorts in a wad, and the rules committee had to bend to Enzo's will. Bunch a cry babies.
They didn't do it for increased grip, they aimed to have the same contact patch. It was so the wheels would fit behind the front wing for less disturbed aero over the rear wing
@@andymb601 This right here. Everyone thinks its about increased contact patch or increased grip when it was done almost exclusively for the drag decrease. There was something about tire wear too, in theory, but i dont remember what the outcome was lol
Well that's how the y used to build them: with a spaceframe mounted to the engine, a tub for the driver and some bits for aerodynamics (wings etc.), later it became an aluminium honeycomb structure and after it: Carbon fibre monocoque.
As a brazilian motorsports fan since the early 70`s, due to the great Emerson Fittipaldi, I had the privilege to see this Tyrrel P34 driven by Patrick Depailler and Ronnie Peterson in the 1977 Brazilian GP, at the good and old Interlagos circuit. The Cosworth song is like music in my ears.
Nice to see this car been driven like it should. Got a vintage Scalextric version of this car and I never imagined how it looks and sounds in real life.

Coolest looking F1 car ever built, but the front brakes were small like the tires and faded quickly, even tho the car is obsolete, they should look into a set of aviation multi disc brakes, as used on something like a Lear Jet, it could rectify that one problem.
Advanced Zj - I was fortunate enough to have purchased probably the finest example, from a model standpoint, The diecast Exoto model, Jody Scheckter, #3. Outstanding detail, I think I paid around $150 for it when they made it some years back. Now on ebay, they are going for $450 to as high as $2,400 (which is absurd).
The way I hear it, one reason the P34 died was because it made no sense financially for Goodyear to supply specialty tires that diameter to one team. Shame; if it had caught on, demand would've made it more worth it. I mean, there were so many hidden strengths - the fromtmost pair of tires were so good at channeling water in the wet that the front tires right behind them could stay slicks!
Goodyear was pretty slow with keeping up on compound updates for the small fronts vs. the normal size tires - so this car became less and less competitive through the season. That led to the ban/withdrawal
the car was used for two seasons, the first of which it did quite well then in 77 they got the same front tyres as previously, while all other tyres had been developed further additionally the team tried a wider track, which made the car heavier that combination meant it was uncompetitive, but the concept showed enough promise for the bigger teams to develop their own 6 wheelers for 78 after seeing testing lap times the fia deemed them too dominant to be allowed, and f1 has been restricted to 4 wheels, 2 of which may be powered, ever since
Ich hab den Wagen noch im Rennen gesehen mit dem Fahrer Jody Scheckter. Da muste der Fahrer noch vieles selbst machen, und wurde nicht von der Box gesteuert.
Pit stops were not always a thing in F1, certainly not like they have been in recent decades. There was a time when the cars could and would run an entire race on a single load of fuel and a single set of tires. Despite any speed gained with fresh tires, pit stops in that era were considered a severe handicap because of the amount of time lost in making one. At some point it was eventually mandated that there had to be at least one stop made by every car because too often the races back then became quite boring because one car or team would often have their cars set up brilliantly and simply run away from the rest of the field. Required pit stops were seen as a way to add potential complication and drama, much like they can and have in other racing series. Today we still have teams that totally dominate an event despite the required use of stops but that is why they came to be in F1, to try to add back in some excitement and entertainment into what too often could be a rather uneventful and dull race to watch.
they thought it would give them a cornering advantage, which it seemed to. The problem was in the pits where changing six tires obviously takes more time than changing four tires, so no advantage in the long run
Small frontal area = less parasitic drag Double the contact patch of 2 regular sized front tyres meant it could, grip through the corners much better. So yeah, the engineers were busy thinking.
@@followedbytens3526 well having 2 more tires translated to lesser front wheel changes, since weight and braking forces were distributed on all 4s. The stats are also in their favor, tyrell did quite well with the p34.
F1JunGT ... 4 front tyres had more contact with the road, better turning.. Also, as the wheels were smaller it was more aerodynamic... That was their thinking... Hope this helps.

Outstanding detail, I think I paid around $150 for it when they made it some years back. Now on ebay, they are going for $450 to as high as $2,400 (which is absurd).
The way I hear it, one reason the P34 died was because it made no sense financially for Goodyear to supply specialty tires that diameter to one team. Shame; if it had caught on, demand would've made it more worth it.
I mean, there were so many hidden strengths - the fromtmost pair of tires were so good at channeling water in the wet that the front tires right behind them could stay slicks!
Nope it was baned by FIA
I‘ve read that the other teams were upset that goodyear made custom tires for this car and that’s why it was banned
Goodyear was pretty slow with keeping up on compound updates for the small fronts vs. the normal size tires - so this car became less and less competitive through the season. That led to the ban/withdrawal
Jim Wichert I'm wondering how easy it is to get tires now. Mold from the first run for this car? I looked it up. Goodyear 7.5/16/10.
the car was used for two seasons, the first of which it did quite well
then in 77 they got the same front tyres as previously, while all other tyres had been developed further
additionally the team tried a wider track, which made the car heavier
that combination meant it was uncompetitive, but the concept showed enough promise for the bigger teams to develop their own 6 wheelers for 78
after seeing testing lap times the fia deemed them too dominant to be allowed, and f1 has been restricted to 4 wheels, 2 of which may be powered, ever since
HERE COMES DRAGSTRIP ZOOMING DOWN THE TRACK! WAIT RUMBLE (Red) IS TAKING THE WHEEL!?
Odd looking car and yet beautiful.
I really hope electric motors and batteries don't take over F1.
It’s gonna happen.
3:42 so much traction!
i call bullshit on the description as the designers nephew what you state is wrong i have all the orginal schematic and history as this is a rebuild
タイレル！！
超サイコー！
Ich hab den Wagen noch im Rennen gesehen mit dem Fahrer Jody Scheckter. Da muste der Fahrer noch vieles selbst machen, und wurde nicht von der Box gesteuert.
Grazie bozzy, che icona questa tyrrel
Grazie a te per la visione!
70's and 80's the Golden years of F1, now It's so boring.
Man, those cottonwood trees have got to be annoying for everyone.
これぞF-1史上唯一のタイレルの６輪マシン！
Those rear tires are dummy thick
I’m from Imola, I saw it, just an incredible experience
2:48 just makes me wanna sneeze 🤧
Some plants must have been in bloom - with all the pollen flying around^^
I also noticed that
Drivers were drivers,todaysdrivers wouldn't know what to do with a third pedal
This is my favorite F1 car of the 70s
タイレルP34は、カッコいい❗️
I love the exhausts popping once the engine is off
nice. @ 2:05
Is there someone can give me any technically reason why this beast have 6 tires?
Small tire less air resistant and less grip . so they add additional tire
From a time when innovation and experimentation were encouraged in F1, unlike today were any new idea gets banned.
WAS NOT BANNED
It wasn't banned it just didn't work
If given a choice, I would rather drive/watch/listen to that than drive/watch/listen to the crap f1 cars of today
Modern f1 sucks. Even wec is going to shit sans gte class
It sounds so goodddddddd
This car got Formua One on mainstream TV. 😅
How was pit stop in 1977?
I understand change 6 tyres would be a disavantage.
they change all the tyres at the same time, so it shouldnt matter, just need 2 more people during a tyre change
Pit stops were not always a thing in F1, certainly not like they have been in recent decades. There was a time when the cars could and would run an entire race on a single load of fuel and a single set of tires. Despite any speed gained with fresh tires, pit stops in that era were considered a severe handicap because of the amount of time lost in making one. At some point it was eventually mandated that there had to be at least one stop made by every car because too often the races back then became quite boring because one car or team would often have their cars set up brilliantly and simply run away from the rest of the field. Required pit stops were seen as a way to add potential complication and drama, much like they can and have in other racing series. Today we still have teams that totally dominate an event despite the required use of stops but that is why they came to be in F1, to try to add back in some excitement and entertainment into what too often could be a rather uneventful and dull race to watch.
2:47 that would fucking ignite all my allergies.
Sure, everyone here loves this car but I'm honestly just wondering what the hell they were thinking when they built it.
they thought it would give them a cornering advantage, which it seemed to. The problem was in the pits where changing six tires obviously takes more time than changing four tires, so no advantage in the long run
70s: let the cocaine take the wheel.
Small frontal area = less parasitic drag
Double the contact patch of 2 regular sized front tyres meant it could, grip through the corners much better.
So yeah, the engineers were busy thinking.
@@ernestjorda2777 And the extra two tires to change really made all that negligible?
@@followedbytens3526 well having 2 more tires translated to lesser front wheel changes, since weight and braking forces were distributed on all 4s.
The stats are also in their favor, tyrell did quite well with the p34.
It'd be great if someone explained why 6 wheels were used
F1JunGT ... 4 front tyres had more contact with the road, better turning.. Also, as the wheels were smaller it was more aerodynamic... That was their thinking... Hope this helps.
