HISTORY

The Tyrrell – Ford Cosworth 006 is a car that participated at the Formula 1 World Championship 1973. After the 1971 success with the Tyrrell 003, the team led by Ken Tyrrell in 1972 failed to counter the Lotus 72D. For the new season the designer Derek Gardner designed a very conventional car equipped with the reliable American engine.

The English Elf Team Tyrrell with Francois Cevert at the wheel of the Tyrrell – Ford Cosworth 006 n.6 finished fourth the Formula 1 World Championship in 1973, and he lost his life during the trials of the last race on the Watkins Glen circuit.

The season had an initial duel between Jackie Stewart and Emerson Fittipaldi with the Lotus, but the constancy of the Scotsman with twelve points arrivals on fifteen races, led him to the world title with three races in advance, but the died of team-mate Francois Cevert convinced Stewart to retire from the world of motor racing.
