You know you're old if you can remember being excited when the first frosted Pop Tarts came out. Brown Sugar & Cinnamon FTW.

Yes, teams did mess with DRW designs as experiments by teams trying to one-up the Tyrrell Project 34 in the mid-1970's before FIA set a limit of 4 wheels per car.


(By Russell Whitworth - Tyrrell P34-5 (Mauro Pane), CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4483421)

I always wondered if the faster lap times were worth the tradeoff of slower pit stops changing six tires, or if the tire life was good enough where they didn't need to change fronts or could do one pair per stop alternating between them.

Another piece of radical engineering was Jim Hall's Chaparral "sucker car" in 1970, which ultimately wound up re-defining the moveable aero rules in many sanctioning bodies.

Get off my paddock space, kid!!!!!

Back in the Tyrrell P34's era of F1 racing ('76/'77), pitting for tires (or for just about any reason) only happened if there was a problem.

You fucking know you're old when your neighbor shows us in your house with a bottle of red and you're like "hmm. I'll be very drunk if I drink the three glasses. Maybe I should withhold."

Didn't. Not making me young tomorrow.
