Saw the 6 wheel Tyrell race last year at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca. Quite unique and it was leading its group of pre-1985 F1 cars for the first few laps until it had some mechanical issues. The Gurney V-12 Eagle F1 was there also to do "parade" laps. It never got up to speed as it had mechanical issues also. Beautiful V-12 motor!!

 

The 6 wheel Tyrrell was a very innovatived race car.
The major designs were lower the frontal area to permit greater aerodynamics.
The little windows were for the drivers to see the tire wear on the front wheels.
The With the 4 wheel design the suspension system all had to be doubled up which added a considerable amount of weight to front of the car.


2 years after the Tyrrell, MARCH Cars showed a prototype F1 car with 4 rear wheels. It never ran in any F! event.

Alfa Romeo bulit a hill climb car with 4 rear wheels i the 30's.

 

Red Bull P1 & P2.

LOL

PS: Will have to say the Scuderia were hot on their heels in P3&4!

 

Saw the results this morning and thought "Yay! Vettel's not in... oh darn. "

Seriously, everyone else needs to step up their game or something. I want to see a real race, not yet another "welp, nothing happening out front, let's focus on the battle for 15th place."

 

OK. That was a hell of a race. Worth waking up early for

 

Don't tell me anything about it! FOX was supposed to carry it live at 5AM, but instead put a 4hr delay on it. GGGRRRRRRR ! :mad5:

 

Where was it on? Fox is broadcasting it in the states at 12 noon eastern time today.

Please. No spoilers till we've had a chance to view.

 

I would not dream of spoiling it, believe me. I watched it streaming online. I went to ustream.tv, and in the comments was a link to a better stream, since the ustream video appeared to be blank. I've done this a couple times, with good results. It's not HD, but I don't mind.

 

And so endth F1 on Fox for this season. I can't say I am at all sorry that we are headed back to Speed. I sure will miss the 3 lap, 6 commercial cycle that Fox graces us with.

 

Sorry to throw a wrench into your wishes, but Fox has the German Grand Prix also........and I couldn't agree more.

 

I do have to say that this is was one of the best races in recent history. Lots of action, passing, pit lane fights, and a few very costly mistakes.

 

Arrrghhh

Think I'm going to pick that one up from a torrent and see what that is like. Could use a new perspective on announcers too. Might be a different perspective from David Coulthard, Eddie Jordan and Martin Brundle.

 

Well I hope Racing Underground will be up and running by then.....:cryin:

 

Rules Change...bah..

 

LOL....don't want to hear anyone taliking about NASCAR and their ever changing rules again. Seems that F1 can't string together two races under the same set of rules....

That said, this season has had some of the best on track racing we've seen in awhile. Maybe not for the win but they have been mixing it up in the pack enough to immediately recognize that you have flipped on the race and not qualifying..
