Tamiya 84111 - RC Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler- F103 1976 Japan GP 田宮遙控模型方程式賽車套件 雙星孖星  [84111]

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 thesize of the drag-inducing front tires while preserving contact patch area through the use of4 tires, thereby creating the only 6-wheeled machine in F1 history.

It took part in actualraces beginning with the Spanish GP in 1976, and drivers J. Scheckter and P. Depaillerwent on to drive their cars to a 1-2 finish at the Swedish GP to prove the incredible potentialof the P34. At the final race of the season, the P34 appeared before Japanese fans atthe inaugural Japanese GP held at Fuji Speedway. F1 race cars often have race-specificmodifications, and the No.3 Tyrrell P34 driven by J. Scheckter at the Japanese GP wasdistinguished by a triangular net guard fitted on the air funnel and large wingtip panels onthe rear wing. The race was a battle for the championship between Ferrari&39;s N. Lauda andMcLaren&39;s J. Hunt and drew a great deal of attention both within Japan and around theworld.

The weather was fair on Friday and Saturday, but conditions were worsened by rainon Sunday. Although the race finally began at 3PM after a long delay, championship contenderN. Lauda quickly retired. The lost excitement was brought back by the performancesof the Japanese drivers and P. Depailler&39;s Tyrrell P34. From his 13th place qualifyingposition, Depailler overtook the field to briefly lead before a tire puncture droppedhim back to finish the race in second place behind M. Andretti&39;s Lotus.
