Description: Tyrrell P34 No.3 6th Italian GP 1977 Ronnie Peterson in 1:18 scale by Spark by Spark This item is Brand New, Factory Sealed, in the Original Box This is the Tyrrell P34 No.3 6th Italian GP 1977 Ronnie Peterson in 1:18 scale by Spark. The Tyrrell P34 (Project 34), commonly known as the "six-wheeler", was a Formula One (F1) race car designed by Derek Gardner, Tyrrell's chief designer. The car used four specially manufactured 10-inch diameter (254 mm) wheels and tyres at the front, with two ordinary-sized wheels at the back. Along with the Brabham BT46B "fancar" developed in 1978, the six-wheeled Tyrrell was one of the most radical entries ever to succeed in F1 competition and has been called the most recognisable design in the history of world motorsports. The P34 was introduced in September 1975 and began racing in the 1976 season. It proved successful and led other teams to begin design of six-wheeled platforms of their own. Changes to the design made for the 1977 season made it uncompetitive and the concept was abandoned for Tyrrell's 1978 season. The other six-wheeled designs ended development and F1 rules later stipulated that cars must have four wheels in total. The cars later had some success in various "classics" race events, but today are museum pieces. The P34 was powered by a Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engine, which was mounted in the middle of the car. The car had a very low profile, with the four front wheels mounted in a pod ahead of the cockpit. This was done to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve handling. The P34 also had a very wide track, which gave it good stability at high speeds.
