Tamiya 84111 - RC Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler- F103 1976 Japan GP  [84111]

The Tyrrell P34 caused a feeling in the F1 world when it was revealed in 1975. Derek Gardner desired to enhance braking and cornering performance by reducing the size of this drag-inducing front side tires while preserving contact spot area through the use of 4 tires, therefore creating the only real 6-wheeled machine in F1 history.

It participated in actual events starting with the Spanish GP in 1976, and motorists J. Scheckter and P. Depailler went on to push their vehicles to a 1-2 finish during the Swedish GP to show the amazing potential associated with P34. During the last battle of the season, the P34 appeared before Japanese fans at the inaugural Japanese GP held at Fuji Speedway. F1 race cars frequently have race-specific changes, together with No.3 Tyrrell P34 driven by J. Scheckter on Japanese GP was distinguished by a triangular web guard fitted regarding the air funnel and large wingtip panels on the rear wing. The battle had been a battle for the championship between Ferrari's N. Lauda and McLaren's J. search and drew a lot of attention both within Japan and across the world.

The weather ended up being reasonable on Friday and Saturday, but conditions were worsened by rainfall on Sunday. Even though the battle finally started at 3PM after a lengthy wait, championship contender N. Lauda quickly retired. The lost excitement had been brought back by the shows of the Japanese drivers and P. Depailler's Tyrrell P34. From his 13th destination qualifying position, Depailler overtook the industry to briefly lead before a tire puncture dropped him back to finish the competition in 2nd destination behind M. Andretti's Lotus.
