Scalextric 1976 Grand Prix Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheeler Elf Goodyear #4 1:32 Slot Car

The 1976 racing season saw the introduction of a sensational piece of art - the six-wheeler Tyrrell, Project 34. Designed by Derek Gardner and Ken Tyrell, this car was a sight to see, as it soon had other teams copying its distinctive style. The designers were seeking better solutions for improved handling, reconsidering the standard 4-wheel design in order to create more downforce and traction by having a set of wheels directly behind the front wing. This unique approach proved successful, with the car achieving multiple podium finishes in the 1976 season. However, the drivers shared mixed reviews on its handling.

By 1978, the rules were updated to limit cars to 4 wheels, bringing an end to this short-lived era of the Tyrrell P34. Despite its brief time in the spotlight, this car has become a sought-after collectible, with examples now on display in historic racing events and museums. Its innovative design and the creative thinking behind it showcase the pioneering spirit that drives the development of the sport.

Scalextric taps into the nostalgia of motor racing, bringing the thrill and excitement to life in the comfort of your living room. As the ultimate motor racing system for all ages, Scalextric allows miniature cars to race against each other on specially designed tracks, with the cars receiving their power from a slot in the middle of each lane (often referred to as "slot racing").

The 1:32nd scale 1976 Grand Prix Tyrrell P34 car is a highly detailed model, featuring a full interior and the racer's equipment. The car boasts working Xenon effect headlights and tail lights, as well as an easy-change braid with magnatraction. This Scalextric model is compatible with all 1:32nd scale Analog slot car race tracks, including ARC ONE, ARC AIR, and Spark Plug, allowing enthusiasts to recreate the thrill of the Tyrrell P34's racing days in their own homes.
