BAT was once interested in Minardi

A few weeks before i wrote about the Bono project. It was BAT (British American Tobacco)’s project to enter the Formula One. It was all about appearing on the grid in 1999 with their own team. As well, how to reach that goal. We all know that they eventually purchased Tyrrell Racing from Ken Tyrrell. Only using the Concorde agreements eventually to be allowed on the grid. Interestingly enough was
Tyrrell 008
Unraced 1970 - 1979

The Tyrrell 008 was originally a fan car

In 1976 and 1977, Tyrrell Racing drove with their revolutionary P34. The first, and only, six-wheeler who raced and even won a race! In 1977, it became clear that Goodyear stopped developing the 10-inch front-wheels. Tyrrell came with a conventional car with just four wheels, the Tyrrell 008. What many don’t know is that the Tyrrell 008 was intended to be fitted with a fan on the back of the

Where are the people like Peter Sauber these days?

This weekend the Australian Grand Prix would have been the season opening for Formula One, however due to the corona virus there won’t a Grand prix at all. The first Grand Prix? Probably the Dutch Grand Prix. The hectic of Liberty Media and the bad communication brought me back to the days that Eddie Jordan, Gian Carlo Minardi, Guy Ligier, Ken Tyrrell, Lord Hesketh and all time favourite Peter Sauber

Tyrrell Rothmans a forgotten deal

At the end of the 80’s Tyrrell was not the top team as it once was, though still the team managed to score points and podiums. At the end of 1989, it seemed that 1990 would be the birth of the new Tyrrell team with lots of opportunities, chances and more over a title sponsor, in Rothmans, willing to invest in the team and the Formula One. Sadly, it was

20 years ago the X-wings got banned

BRING THEM BACK!!!!!! Yes i would love to see the X-Wings make their revival. I know I’m probably one of the few that loves the X-Wings. Probably one of the few that remembers the wings at all. The Tyrrell team once introduced the X-wings on their Tyrrell 025 in 1997.  The idea behind the Tyrrell Towers is when driving behind a car the wings generate more downforce.

Tyrrell “Racing towards the Millennium”

In the 1990’s Tyrrell Racing was not the championship winning team anymore. The team had some sober years during the Turbo era in the 1980’s. We know what happened in 1984 when Tyrrell was the only team to drive with an Atmospheric Engine. 1990 would be the last “top” year for the Tyrrell team when Jean Alesi scored twice a podium. The following years Tyrrell had to survive in the
