Tamiya 84111 Tyrrell P34 Six-Wheel F103 Replica Kit  [84111]

An F1 Oddity Recreated: The Tyrrell P34 in Miniature

The Tyrrell P34 stands out in Grand Prix history as the only six-wheeled contender to race at the highest level. Derek Gardner's concept used four smaller front tyres to cut drag and retain the necessary contact patch for braking and cornering. The car made its first appearance at the 1976 Spanish GP and later scored a notable 1-2 at the Swedish GP with Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler.

Period-Accurate RC Interpretation

Tamiya faithfully interprets the P34 in 1/10 scale using the F103 chassis. The kit includes a detailed polycarbonate bodyshell that echoes the exposed engine bay styling and is supplied with rubber tyres to match the era. A Type 540 motor is included so the model can be readied for running with your chosen radio and battery.

Recreating the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix Variant

This issue mirrors the P34's appearance at the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix, featuring the triangular net guard on the air funnel and the distinctive rear wing tip panels used at Fuji. The car impressed spectators even in the wet conditions, with Depailler recovering to finish second.

Appeal to Collectors and Drivers

The Tamiya Tyrrell P34 is suited to enthusiasts who prize historic accuracy and a unique driving package. Its six-wheel arrangement offers a different handling profile from conventional four-wheel RC cars, providing an engaging project for both display and track use.

Whether you collect historic replicas or seek a distinctive runner for club events, the Tamiya Tyrrell P34 brings a piece of F1 history to your workshop.
