The 1976 Tyrrell P34 6-wheelers were all blue. In 1977, First National City Travelers Checks was a main sponsor, and the Tyrrells added a white conning tower to the famous Tyrrell blue paint scheme.
The 1977 season was not as good for the 6-wheelers as the 1976 season was, and due to lack of tire development by Goodyear, the Tyrrell Team returned to traditional 4-tire cars for 1978.
These two 6-wheelers brought a LOT of interest to F1 in America in 1976, along with the famous 1976 James Hunt/Niki Lauda feud.
