Description[]

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 P34's introduction, Formula One banned cars with more than four wheels from competing. Seven chassis were produced, including one unused tub; Tyrrell founder Ken Tyrrell is said to have kept the frame Scheckter won on and sold the rest. The frame is now located on Scheckter's farm in Overton.

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.
