Tyrrell - P34 - Blueprint - 1976, Mini Edition, 21 x 30 cm

Official posters by Automobilist

We have witnessed many iconic liveries and designs, but one particular stands out above the rest. In 1975, Tyrrell introduced its new car design for the upcoming season and it was a sight to behold. The car featured not two, but four wheels in the front. And thus, Project 34 was born. Joining the grid in 1976 with drivers Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler behind the wheel, the P34 is arguably one of the most recognisable vehicles to ever grace the circuit.

The idea of a six-wheeled Formula car stemmed from an official regulation that allowed a maximum width of 1.5 metres for the front wing. Causing a disturbance in the aerodynamics, the wheels would have to be much smaller to fit entirely behind the wing. A 10-inch diameter fit the needs perfectly but meant a significant decrease in handling. Tyrrell's chief designer, Derek Gardner, therefore opted for a drastic solution. He gave the front axle four wheels instead of two. Fitted with the Ford-Cosworth 3-litre V8 engine, the P34 was ready for the season ahead.

The Tyrrell P34 is the most recent addition to our Blueprint Collection. Sporting its original livery, the car's design predicted its most successful race, the Swedish GP, which saw a 1-2 finish for Tyrrell. Displaying the car's six-wheeled chassis from various angles, the poster showcases the number of wins, podium finishes and other stats of the 1976 season. Available in Limited, Classic and Mini Editions, this artwork is a celebration of Tyrrell's ingenuity and craftsmanship.
