Tamiya 20053 - Tyrell P34 - 1/20

Tyrell P34 1977 Monaco GP

Skala: 1/20

I 1976 F1 verdensmesterskaberne fik Tyrrell P34 sekshjulet debut og demonstrerede enestående præstation gennem hele sæsonen. I den følgende sæson fik P34 First National City Bank som sin hovedsponsor og ændrede sit kappemaleri til blå og hvid tofarvet.

P34 i denne sæson havde fuld motorkappe for at forbedre aerodynamikken og blev drevet af P. Depailler og Ronnie Peterson. Tyrrell stødte på problemer, da udviklingen af P34s unikke fordæk stagnerede som følge af dækkrigen mellem Michelin og Goodyear, men de fortsatte deres bestræbelser på at vinde ved at lave mindre ændringer på deres P34-maskiner gennem hele sæsonen.
