Six-wheeled F1 car: Tyrrell P34 (1976)

i wonder why it never caught on if it worked so well?

@peckiledorf maybe cause they only had a set number of tyres for the race so it was impractical if you needed multiple tyre changes?

@peckiledorf it was doing good at fist, but in the next season, the revised version of the car wasn't doing as good as expected and they abandoned the concept. Other teams started experimenting with 6wheelers, rumour had it that Williams got really good results but then it was immediately banned...
