A Championship winning F1 car built at a humble timber yard in Surrey. Today's F1 would never been built in an environment like that. Tyrrell were always the innovators back in the 70s trying new things to excite the growing sport but as the 90s came along fell away to the difficult financial growth like Lotus and Brabham also. Watching my favourites Williams F1 struggle now in the past few seasons is kinda like what happened to the old guard when they in their 80s/90s heyday, a shame but a progression of the new style.
Great documentary. Amazing to think that Tyrrell were still entering F1 races in 1998. Also that Jackie Stewart had his own team in the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Bit sad though that both Ken and his wife didn't get to enjoy a long retirement after selling the team. Both would be gone within 4 years of Tyrrell's end.
That wood shed, where Ken built his first car should be in a museum or a national historic building in the least. Sadly probably torn down and forgotten.
I like Tyrrell F1 cars from the 1990-1995, particularly the 019 high nose, it's so inspiring for the following generation formula one cars...and of course the 6-wheeled P34
Tyrrell e Stuart... nascidos um para o outro...acrescentando Cevert...tempo em que os Pilotos dominavam os seus carros e não como hj seu contrário... carros dominando os pilotos...
Did you notice who produced it? Suspect Mark Stewart may be one of Jackies sons..the other being Paul. And yes a good doco and Ken seemed like Bruce McLaren a quality honest bloke in a dodgy often highly dishonest industry that like much of society seems to get more dishonest and paper thin on what actually is important versus 'all show and no go' as in shallow people, talking themselves up. Versus in the earlier days more transparency and depth on every level. Including humbleness.
These were times when ‘people’ were the biggest factors in winning….not computers. Everything is completely analogue. This was F1 when I was growing up in the 1960s and 70s.
Yes but Tyrell racing failed from frontrunners in 1970s to backmarkers in the 80s and 90s ,Lotus atlest won 7 constructors championship Tyrrell only won 1.
The Last of the Ken Tyrrell ‘s, is Frank Williams. Much respect to both. Sadly we lost Ken to soon, but I hope we will see Frank a little as his health will allow us.
It was a chain reaction and respect for other people's opinion in an organization like F1 used to be. No conflict, and as the narrator says at the beginning of the show: In a time when motor racing was conducted with integrity and passion. Great video.
Quite remarkable Tyrrell and sir Jackie were both underachievers in the academic world, but tremendous overachievers in the real world. And, as far as Chapman being the "genious innovator", I quite like to think KT was just as as much an innovator, but not a flamboyant (sometimes ridiculous) person like CC; no tossing hats in the air at finish lines, no involvement with shifty characters, no feverish marketing. Tyrrell was a discreet gentleman, and a very elegant man in his own way. And an innovator as well, for, who would ever consider a 6-wheel F1 car? I so wished Peterson had won a title for KT driving a six wheeler. In retrospect, perhaps Tyrrell should have poached Peterson away from Lotus in 1974, with Sheckter and Peterson in the beautiful 007, I think there was a good chance KT could have taken the title away from Fittipaldi and McLaren, since they struggled a quite a bit, and only took the title at the last race.
Tyrrell successfully raced a six wheel car, which reduced the diameter and drag from the front tires. Unfortunately, tire manufacturers weren't interested in developing smaller tires and, as usual, the rules were changed to make them illegal. I'd like to digress and note that Jackie Stewart made himself very unpopular by championing driver safety, but many of today's drivers owe him their lives. I was disgusted by the racing media, which nearly all claimed that the danger was a necessary part of racing.
Sadly, Tyrell never recovered after the loss of Cervert and Stewart's retirement. They were a great F1 team. They had some moments later on, what with people like Jean Alesi - but nothing like their glory days. Ken Tyrell was a great of F1. I love what he said about F1 in the 1990s : "there's no bloody overtaking".
Handshake deal to keep Jackie Stewart from joining Ferrari and Enzo. You can't even imagine. The golden days of GP F1. Tyrrell designs his own car. 'Safety was a sick joke. Drivers were driving around with essentially petrol tanks.'
As much as Colin Chapman was a "genius", he sometimes seemed to sit on his laurels, as opposed to Ken Tyrrell who was incredibly hard working. Proof is, between 1971 and 1975, Lotus only 'developed' the 72 model, a great car obviously, while Tyrrell built three different cars, each an evolution from the last, the 005, 006, and the 007.
Jackie Stewart didn't win the British Grand Prix in 1973,he tried to overtake Ronnie Peterson but he spun off the track,instead he won the Belgium Grand Prix
Dr 2Stroke Ricardo Rosset also know as tosser, he's the reason Ken quit his own team before the 98 season as Ken wanted Jos Verstapen(can't spell his last name) but B.A.R. chose the tosser instead. Ken's son also quit the team with his father.
Back when Formula 1 was personal and about loyalty , friendship and some incredibly good people. Rest peacefully Ken & Norah.
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢 legendary blue
To this very day I miss him, there was no one quite like Ken, God rest his soul and his wife Norah too.
😢😢😢😢❤

One of the most loyal teammanagers ever. Great man.

It's still there. goo.gl/maps/QDvoVqmWkC2yQMA8A
Awesome to hear that. Thank you for letting me know.
@@BrioPA AWESOME! I really, really hope to visit someday!!!
Brooklands museum were trying to get it moved there some years back , not sure how that is going
It’s been rescued and rebuilt at Goodwood now. Happy days
Ken, Enzo, Jack, Frank, Colin, Bruce… All my respect goes out to these legends that knew from the very beginning the essence of F1
😢❤

What a legendary team
this is what F1 should be all about... the modern era F1 is bullshit
What a privilege to watch this ! Utterly lovely man.
Ken Tyrrell Beautiful smile
what a great man, kind and brilliant.
Tyrrell e Stuart... nascidos um para o outro...acrescentando Cevert...tempo em que os Pilotos dominavam os seus carros e não como hj seu contrário... carros dominando os pilotos...
Mithos Ken. I remember Monaco 1971 and I start loving Jacky and the blue car.
That was a great documentary. Thanks for sharing

And now there's no Frank anymore. The old guard is almost gone, now all we have is Helmut Marko for RB
Yes, well, less said ......
@@MrChromed Jackie Stewart's still around.

I'm really happy that you dug down in the archives for this. You have done a good job.
👍✌️
The golden age! Must've been so exciting to be involved then
Um homem, uma lenda!!!!!
BRILLIANT..
Excellent history of a great man .
Back When Formula 1 had little regulations and control.. The Good Ole Days
End of the ‘garagistas’ RIP.
Brilliant. Thank you.
A loyal friend

The wood shed as of 2023 that Ken built the cars in has been saved and moved to Goodwood
I got lucky cause the war broke out, he says. God Bless you Ken.
Shed now in Goodwood Motor Circuit ready for Goodwood Members

Ken Tyrell’s son became a British Airways pilot. He was liked and respected.

Super! 👍👍
SUPERMEN ! SUPERKEN !
👾 Guinness has that effect.
Ken died exactly 3 years after he sold up to American racing team due to cancer

If there is something you can take from this documentary it’s his wife saying “not nice” almost as if they were pushed out of f1
Formula1 team owner familiar to Japan
Shame people drench stuff in background music
I know
Any one who adds music is an idiot.
The best documentary ever made.
Before motor racing became corporate, Now the winners have the largest wallet (sadly)
my family is from Glasgow i wonder if we are related my uncle played for Barcelona
my last name is tyrrell
I thought its Hritik roshan in thumbnail
How do you pronounce "Tyrrell"?
"Tirıll"
Tyrrell was unbeatable like Red Bull, but as any progress he and his team was out one of these days. Look at Lotus or McLaren....
B4 Hamilton
He didn't have a bad driver though did he
Is he related to Ian Tyrrell?
1 PERSON IS A TOSSER
?
Dr 2Stroke Ricardo Rosset also know as tosser, he's the reason Ken quit his own team before the 98 season as Ken wanted Jos Verstapen(can't spell his last name) but B.A.R. chose the tosser instead. Ken's son also quit the team with his father.
