The Tyrrell P34 is notable in Formula One for its six-wheel concept. Originating with Derek Gardner in 1975, the design paired four small front tyres with two rear wheels to reduce aerodynamic drag and aim for improved braking performance. The car made its competitive debut at the 1976 Spanish GP and later secured a 1-2 outcome at the Swedish GP. At the season finale in Japan, the No.3 car driven by Jody Scheckter displayed distinct features such as a triangular mesh on the air funnel and larger wingtip elements.
This Tamiya 21095 from Tamiya's Masterwork Collection reproduces the P34s 1976 Japan GP specification and finish, making it a faithful display model for historic F1 collections.
