Looked up some stats...Jackie Steward twice WDC with Tyrell in 1971/73, and Tyrell won the Constructors Ch'ship in 1971 with 7 GP wins... :good:

Wow!!!! That 3rd video was too cool. I've never seen a shot like that looking straight down at a driver with the foot area exposed. You can see his feet on the pedals.
Add to that the great sounding engine, the driver having to actually take his hands off the wheel to shift gears...ahhhhhhh  ::)
Now *THAT* is racing.

Yeah, that was wild.  I wonder why they filmed it like that - without the body?  The camera must have been 10ft up at least.  :DntKnw:

They won just one constructors title in 1971 with JYS in the cockpit but not with the 6 wheeler. Jackie won two other drivers titles, one in 69 with the Ken Tyrell run Matra/Ford team and again in 73 in the Tyrell, However Lotus pipped Ken to the constructors prize that year.

In a round about way, they did win 2 Constructors crowns. The first was in 71. Later, Tyrell became B.A.R., which became Honda, which became Brawn, which won the WCC last season.  ;)
