About the Tyrrell 006
A lightly reworked development of the Tyrrell 005, the 006 was the first Tyrrell design to be replicated, so its number became a model name rather than a chassis number, and three were built. François Cevert gave it its debut at the 1972 Canadian Grand Prix, and Jackie Stewart took the original 006 to its first win at the 1973 South African Grand Prix. Stewart won five races in 1973 on the way to his third and final title, though Lotus beat Tyrrell to the Constructors' Championship by 92 points to 82. The season ended in tragedy when Cevert was killed in practice for the United States Grand Prix in 006/3, in that chassis's only appearance, and Stewart walked away from Formula One. Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler used the surviving 006/2 early in 1974 before the 007 took over.
