quite an achievement for the time. Notice how steady both cameras are, despite the bumpy surface. Now you can stick a bunch of tiny 4K cameras all over the car, with image stabilisation, but in 1976...Brilliant
I know- also did you know the very impressive rollover protection built into the car to save weight? They used the driver as the roll cage and his head and helmet as the roll bar!😂
Monaco at that time, was actually quite smooth. The shakiness was mainly due to the huge spaceframe the camera was attached to, directly above the engine.

@@jonm7272the idea was less frontal area for more downforce. The car was successful the first year, but Goodyear stopped developing the small tires and the fall off was steady from there.
The idea was to increase front downforce. In the 1970s there were basically two ways to do it. You could put a pair of front wings on it or a wedge shaped nose. The trouble was that with the wedge shaped nose, the front wheels stuck up behind it and offset some of the downforce with a small amount of lift. Normally, the Tyrrell had side fairings to make a more streamlined package than what you see here. And yes, it did have a smaller frontal area.

When young i had the tyrell 6 wheeler made by Nikko. it was one of the first RC cars from that brand, there were two sizes, off course i had the little one. Technically it was not a good model, steering was by switch and not by servo and the electric motor was weak, it woul only drive well on a very smooth surface. 40 years later I am still in love with this model. one of the most interesting F1 cars ever made.
The raw mechanical engineering needed to be on top back then! Legends! All of the top designers back then! To see it in your head then put it on paper! No CAD!
Wow... LOTS of understeer despite 4 front wheels !! Amazing to see this so clearly ^^ The problemS with 4 front wheels : very complicated set up for steering process, heavy weight on front, difficulties to manufacture the small tires (too expensive)... Good solution on paper, but F1 are not made with papers...
It's the same today. All they've done is made incidents slightly more "survivable". Make no mistake, F1 racing is insanely dangerous. Just because Grosjean and Zhou didn't burn alive in no way means that racing is "safe". Admittedly F1 is more safe by nature than any motorcycle racing but we expect that. F1 of any age is safer than motorcycle racing has ever been, but you can die in the most grievous fashion in any racing.
@@Thecrazyvaclav Absolutely They had to drive these cars literally by the seat of their paints. No drivers aids, no intercom with the pit crew. It was all down to sheer driving skill and knowledge of the tracks.
Everyone saying "look at the oversteer/ understeer...etc" .Well he's on cold tyres with a whacking great camera on a frame sitting 7 feet in the air behind his head. It was probably handling like a pig! (Google "Tyrell onboard camera 1976" images and you can see the setup...it's amazing)
Angle the t cam more upwards and we would have a better cam than todays. Some sence of speed while beeing stable while actually having a nice quality and color patern thing
Amazing ...but it really looks like its got massive under steer issues, it could be just an illusion but from the high mount angle ...that's wot it looks like.... Sounds fantastic but
When crash = death you had respect and awareness of other drivers, nowadays crash equals whinge in the news conference about the other driver not giving you space and the FIA rules not working. Stirling Moss used to have a spanner taped the steering wheel so he could unbolt it and exit the car in crash. Real fear of death (as in at least 1 if not 2 drivers died every year) changes your perspective.

seeing half of depailler’s body sticking out of the car reminds me of how much old f1 cars were basically just giant go karts
Exactly what I was thinking.
Not even "giant", they were pretty small too, I think the Tyrrell was barely 3 meters long, minuscule compared to modern F1
And terribly deadly
Go Karts But with V12s and V8s!
The bodywork is off.
Holy moly - it's like he's sat on the thing, not in it. Dude must have balls of steel.
Yes they had, but even steel was sometimes not enought to survive.
Driving on the limit is very different from driving 1% off the limit.
This was pretty safe.

Great sound youre right 👌
Now come out V10 fanboys and bash the V8 like all other engines
@@manuelmayr8831People only really bash the modern tinny sounding V8s. Which I like.
Really great to see this and the amount of under steer and Opposite lock to get it around the track, ( school boy dream to see this )

understeer
@@tobythehairlessdog8876Exactly! Looked like it was severely plowing through the turns. Maybe the front grip was messed up by removing the bodywork.

That countersteering with 4 wheels🥰🥰🥰
more understeer than I thought there would be from four front wheels.
I heard the only tire supply to the team was midget tires. Some success, but not very suitable.
Whats the logic behind having 4 front wheels? Rear i would somewhat understand but front?
I assume more traction but at the expense of having 2 extra tires to change.
that an age when everything is porssible, an age with spirit!
What’s the advantage of 4 front wheels? Just more grip?
RIP Patrick.
Was worth it to hear Murray. The P34 was OK I guess - alright it was great.
'Be amazed!' -- yes I was ❤
The audacity of that car!
The speeeed!
Innovation has gone form F1 now
Formula One has not been about the 'Pinnacle of Engineering" in a long long time.

No body work (not that it would’ve helped in a crash) hooooooly cow these guys had balls

As an F1 fan for the last decade, I have to ask, what is going on with all that right hand movement?
That's called a gear change, plus the driver had three pedals to deal with... :)
It’s a manual gearshift, had to move it with your hand, and work a clutch with one of your feet, better drivers back then
@@Thecrazyvaclav Absolutely They had to drive these cars literally by the seat of their paints. No drivers aids, no intercom with the pit crew. It was all down to sheer driving skill and knowledge of the tracks.
Look up Senna's 1990 on board at Monaco. Half the lap driving with one hand. Different class.
Proper racer, that's what mate.
Looks like a go kart compared to today's behemoths.
Got push.
F1 should bring back the manual gearbox
Where's the crash structure? Just crazy how dangerous racing used to be.

Yeah the cockpit walls barely come up to his kidneys
