Grand Prix Rejects

Tyrrell Racing competed in F1 from 1968 until 1998 and was subject to many different liveries over the years, what was your favourite?

My favourite was the Tyrrell 026 livery from 1998.

Arguably...

This one (although I suspect this may be due to the 019 chassis being one of my all-time favourite designs aesthetically)

My favourite was the Tyrrell from 1996, second to that, the 1989 (all blue with Tyrrell in white letters)

I really like the Tyrrell's that are mostly painted blue. The livery they had for the first race of 1995 really appeals to me, it's a shame they didn't race with this livery for the entirety of the season.



I'll have a video coming out soon on Tyrrell. One of my favourite teams.

Any of the Elf liveries are iconic, but I fancied the 1989 Camel and 1995 Nokia liveries too.

The 1996 gets my vote too. I'm usually not a fan of white liveries but the Mild Seven blue just blends in so well and the Korean Air logo looks great too. A sort of Martini-ish livery I guess.

I went through all the Tyrrell liveries and I must say there's a reason I've never really paid attention to them before. Most of them were just so boring that there's just not much to say about them. This particular 1984 livery however caught my eye. Somehow the big "4" on the nose looks so badass with those Germany stripes!

Well, it's better than the First National City Travellers Cheques livery in any case...

That doesn't count.

What i personally also find good liveries.
The 1991 Braun (not Brawn) livery:

And the 1983 Benetton Livery (because i like green cars)

I think I mught have to go with the skunk from 1991 here, that car looked sharp.

Surely this thread should be called "What is your favourite Tyrrell livery, and why is it Candy?"



Sexy.

Beautiful picture - Candy colours, Silverstone , the great Jarier , and I was there! Lovely

I only wish I'd taken it myself

Sorrynotsorry

Too soon.

This version of the 1994 livery.

Why this one? Take a closer look.....it incorporates SIX WHEELS, thus making it a great livery.

Personally I don't think you can beat the simple Stewart/Cevert era Elf ones, particularly the 1973 one. A case of less is more.

Commercial sponsorship was a mistake.

A rather interesting choice of colours (I get it's supposed to represent France) and that's me putting it mildly....

Just out of curiosity, what car is that? (Pardon my ignorance)

That's the F2 Matra MS7, with which Jackie Stewart finished second in the Oulton Park Gold Cup in 1967 (as pictured), and with which Jacky Ickx became the first European F2 champion (even though Rindt practically dominated F2 that year and in the following years!)

Thank you. Thought I didn't recognise it.
