The Tyrrell P34 caused a sensation within the F1 world when it was unveiled in 1975.
Derek Gardner sought to enhance braking and cornering performance by reducing the
size of the drag-inducing front tires while preserving contact patch area through the use of
4 tires, thereby creating the only 6-wheeled machine in F1 history.
It took part in actual
races beginning with the Spanish GP in 1976, and drivers J. Scheckter and P. Depailler
went on to drive their cars to a 1-2 finish at the Swedish GP to prove the incredible potential
of the P34. At the final race of the season, the P34 appeared before Japanese fans at
the inaugural Japanese GP held at Fuji Speedway. F1 race cars often have race-specific
modifications, and the No.3 Tyrrell P34 driven by J. Scheckter at the Japanese GP was
distinguished by a triangular net guard fitted on the air funnel and large wingtip panels on
the rear wing. The race was a battle for the championship between Ferrari�s N. Lauda and
McLaren's J. Hunt and drew a great deal of attention both within Japan and around the
world.
The weather was fair on Friday and Saturday, but conditions were worsened by rain
on Sunday. Although the race finally began at 3PM after a long delay, championship contender
N. Lauda quickly retired. The lost excitement was brought back by the performances
of the Japanese drivers and P. Depailler's Tyrrell P34. From his 13th place qualifying
position, Depailler overtook the field to briefly lead before a tire puncture dropped
him back to finish the race in second place behind M. Andretti�s Lotus.
