A few weeks back I was given this amazing opportunity to experience a childhood dream of mine and drive the Tyrrell P34 at Donington Park!

This was an absolute blast and a real pinch yourself moment!

  • LOVED driving this beast. What sort of racecar should I drive next? 👇
  • @SRFriso94
    I love how absolutely miniscule these cares used to be. Today's F1 cars are aircraft carriers by comparison, and while I know that they are much, much safer than they were in the '70s partially because of their size (definitely a good thing) I do kind of wish that they would start shrinking again for more on-track action.
  • @bowebevonius
    Being a kid in Sweden in the 70’s and thus having Ronnie Peterson as a favourite driver, the amazing P34 has a special place in my heart.

    3:08 "So I can get my legs underneath the roll bar so I can use the brakes and the throttle which is... an important part of using a Formula One car" - He set us up expertly, thinking we were going to hear some nugget of inside baseball, and hit us with the deadpan delivery. I'm so glad Ben has this channel, it's fantastic!
  • @Lacquerhead-TX
    SUCH an iconic car. Tyrell was always willing to go places in design that no other team ever did.
  • @JLR_Steve
    Loved watching Schecter in the Tyrrell and built the Tamiya 1/20 scale model of his P34. We are all living vicariously through you, Ben. 👍
  • @Ffish69
    The difference in size between the Leyton House and the Tyrrell on track was extraordinary! I had no idea the Tyrrell was so small
  • @EDMclassics
    When Ben asked "What classic F1 car should I drive next" in a few videos back, I never imagined he would listen to my suggestion. Thank you so much 👍😀♥️
  • @willbeasy2898
    One thing that never gets mentioned, I read in an interview from Derek Gardner that the primary reason was the old crossply tires would “balloon” or grow significantly at high speeds, and by having tiny tires that don’t grow as much, you get much more stable aerodynamics at high speeds, but one set of 10” wheels wasn’t enough tire for lateral loads, so they put in two sets.
  • The crazy 1970s, when hippies ran wild, drugs were ubiquitous, fashion was sketchy, and music was psychodelic. Of course F1 couldn't be left out of this festivity. And then there was Lord Hesketh!
  • @PhantomMark
    The DFV never gets tiring to listen to, that's a blast Ben, awesome mate.
  • @TrevorDent
    The F1 cars of the 60s to the 90s were moving works of art, driven by Gods, never again will we see or hear such beauty grace the race track. RIP Depailler.
  • @1969EType
    Back when F1 wasn't settled at qualification on Saturday and a race masquerading as a parade on Sunday...thank you so much for sharing this incredible car and your wonderfully spirited drive. I have loved this car since I was 7 years old and it made its debut.
  • @milk-it
    This is such a treasured piece of F1 automotive history. Every time I saw a model of the Tyrell or it on TV I'd never take my eyes off of it! It's such a unique piece of engineering and a great example of someone thinking outside the box of rule makers. I loved the commentary, Ben. You really did it justice!
  • @gohumberto
    This video is better than watching any actual F1 race during the last few decades. It has what F1 lacks now ....... EXCITEMENT!!! I think F1 should consider relaxing rules that stifle radical design, so we end up with cars that look differently. Bring back Fan Cars and 6 wheelers.
  • @Matiasv1968
    Such a privilege to drive that legendary F1 and such a privilege for us to see and enjoy this type of content. Thanks!🙌
  • @Bugatti024
    WHAT A CAR! You guys did an amazing job with the production, wow what an opportunity to drive and get a really close view of this car and Ben at work. Thank you!
  • F1 will never be as interesting as this car either. The 70's & 80's, while lawless at times, were certainly some of the best time for fans of the sport.
  • @anydaynow01
    My second favorite F1 car, just behind the FW15!
  • @markburgess4528
    Still a fantastic looking car after all these years. I remember as a kid how futuristic it looked. Sounds so good too, love hearing the manual shifting too.
