And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Patrick Depailler, he's in a bit of trouble. Locked up the front you can see a flat spot on the left side/rearmost tire when he's on opposite lock. I remember those cars, I wonder if they could get the tires to proper temp? With modern down force it wouldn't be a problem.
The Tyrrell P34 was raced in F1 in 1976 and 1977. The drivers in 76 were Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler. For 77, Jody was replaced with Ronnie Peterson. The design was abandoned before the 78 season.
The tire manufacturer didn't bother to continue development of those 10 inch tires, so handling got unbalanced as the rears got better in comparison. Other car makers were doing prototypes, but they were doing 4 at the rear, all driving, instead. Not enough tires to bother with just one buyer. It was surprisingly competitive during those two years. I'm thinking they might have gone to 8 wheels fairly quickly! However, it all got banned a couple years later.
Well that oughta grip pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHe needs a suicide knob.
ReplyDeleteShould be mid 70s F-1 but can't quite pin it down who it is
ReplyDeletePatrick Depailler...note the tricolor on the helmet.

ReplyDeleteIs that his foot on and off the throttle to help with the steering?
