@creatyve Old comment, I know. The drivers agreed this car wasn't better nor worse in terms of grip compared to conventional cars. It is so true that it only won 1 race (with Jody Scheckter), even the great Peterson raced it. The March 240 had 4 rear wheels, and they realized the same thing: it wasn't any better nor worse. Just more expensive. I take it just as the most controversial and beautiful of all F1 cars. But nothing else.

Read the latest copy of Motorsport . The 4 smaller front wheels gave increased cornering grip & greater braking ability. Because the 10" front tyres were a one-off, Goodyear didn't bother developing them, if they had, it's thought that by the end of 77' they could have been worth a second a lap !.

This car wasn't any better nor worse because of the 6 wheels, just like the March 240. It was just more expensive to maintain, not to mention the pain to find the special font tires. 3 great drivers drove this car, only 1 win. Beautiful, no doubt, but not efficient in any way.

That looks insanely fast!
-
@skynet091287 yeah it greatly improved the mechanical grip. but when it came to high speeds where aerodynamics come into play, it did just become another car.
-
@creatyve The aerodynamics of the car wasn't any better then conventional models, the huge rear tires just about negated any advantage the smaller front wheels gave. It did however make the steering much more responsive, because they could set the turning angle individually for each wheel...
-
@Stitch216 Yeah, i miss the good old days where there were less regulations and restrictions. more exciting
-
@creatyve Actually, since then they have been banned - F1 regulations stipulate a car must have no more and no less than four wheels.

It was actually a brilliant concept and it had an increased grip level and cleaner aerodynamic model when compared to other cars. As for that extra second, they can just hire more pit crew. There's no limit to as much a team can have or not have, according to the rules and regulations. The only reason they stopped using this car was because that Goodyear couldn't manufacture the 10" tyres quickly and effectively for the team.
