Collection: Tyrrell F1

 

The Tyrrell Racing Organisation was an F1 auto racing team  founded by Ken Tyyrell (1924–2001) which started racing in 1958 and started building its own cars in 1970. The team experienced its greatest success in the early 1970s, when it won three Drivers' Championships and one Constructors' Championship with Jackie Stewart. The team never reached such heights again, although it continued to win races through the 1970s and into the early 1980s, taking the final win for the Ford Cosworth DFV engine at the 1983 Detroit Grand Prix. The team was bought by British American Tobacco in 1997 and completed its final season as Tyrrell in the 1998 F1 season Tyrrell's legacy continues in Formula One as the Mercedes F1 team, who is Tyrrell's descendant through various sales and rebrandings via BAR Honda, and Brawn GP.
