.....looks like a ferrari 360 now, boring.

and Tim, they were never told not to bring it back, it rparticipated in all the races the team tried to enter it in (30). Good Year made their tire's, they were cross-ply, and had problems because since the diameter of the tires in the back were bigger, the front had to rotate at faster speed, and also having them being used to turn, they had alot of force put upon them, wearing them out quicker, and having a few blowouts. Goodyear only made them for the 76 season. The next season goodyear stepped back, not wanting to invest anymore in teh development of the tires because they were the only racing cars using those tires but whats the point since they were already underdeveloped the season before. So GoodYear was loosing out by not being able to mass sell them, and to get them to withstand the forces on them. So Tyrell had to use the tires from LAST years series, so they were already behind considering they have the previous years technology. They ran the car for two seasons, and despite Depailler praising it, 1 pole, and it winning the Swedish Grand Prix....thats all the success moments it ever recieved. After two season and Derek Gardner leaving the team, Tyrell abandoned the project. They were never told to not bring it back. Now other teams also tested 6 wheel cars, but the second set was behind the driver, and due to an FIA rule regarding only two wheel drive, these cars werent allowed to race, and then in 1983, they officially mandated a rule saying only 4 tires can be on a car.
