I had the pleasure of filming the Tyrrell 012,
1983 Formula One car [F1], chassis #02
on the Nürburgring track.
This single-seater, driven by Martin Stretton takes part
n the races of the FIA ​​Masters Historic Formula One Championship.
We are at the 2018 and 2019 editions of the AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix.
The 1983 Tyrrell with its Benetton livery
was designed by Maurice Philippe and Brian Lisles
and adopted a 3.0-litre Ford Cosworth DFY 90º V8
naturally-aspirated engine combined with
a 5-speed Hewland FGA manual transmission.
The use of Ford Cosworth DFY engine was penalizing
in terms of performance compared to rivals.
At the time, turbocharged engines were used
which were much more powerful.
Tyrrell engine develop 530hp at 11,600 rpm.
At that time the Turbo engines could safely develop 800-1000hp.
The frame construction consists of an aluminium/carbon fibre monocoque.
Total weight of the car about 540Kg.
In the hands of the pilot Michele Alboreto,
the car proved to be competitive anyway,
the best result was a sixth place at the
Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort, the Netherlands, in 1983.
