Tyrrell P34 Six Wheeler 1976 Japan GP (w/Photo-Etched Parts) 1/20

Tamiya 1/20 pienoismalli, rakennussarja. 

The Only 6-Wheeled F1 Machine

The Tyrrell P34 is the only 6-wheeled machine in F1 history. It took part in actual races in 1976, and drivers Scheckter and Depailler went on to drive their cars to a 1-2 finish at the Swedish GP to prove its incredible potential. At the final race of the season, the P34 appeared before Japanese fans at the inaugural Japanese GP held at Fuji Speedway. 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 the Lotus of Andretti.
