The Tyrrell Racing Organisation was an auto racing team and Formula One constructor founded by Ken Tyrrell (1924–2001) which started racing in 1958 and started building its own cars in 1970.

The team experienced its greatest success in the early 1970s, when it won three Drivers' Championships and one Constructors' Championship with Jackie Stewart. The team never reached such heights again, although it continued to win races through the 1970s and into the early 1980s, taking the final win for the Ford Cosworth DFV engine at the 1983 Detroit Grand Prix.

The team was bought by British American Tobacco in 1997 and completed its final season as Tyrrell in the 1998 Formula One season. Tyrrell's legacy continues in Formula One as the Mercedes-AMG F1 team, who is Tyrrell's descendant through various sales and rebrandings via BAR, Honda, and Brawn GP.

The Tyrrell P34 was considered as one of the most unique and innovative race cars ever made due to its six wheel configuration. Several other teams attempted to use this wheel configuration including March and Williams.

007

The Tyrrell 007 is a Formula One racing car, designed by Tyrrell's Chief Designer, Derek Gardner. It was used in the 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977 Formula One seasons.

Ken Tyrrell, owner of Tyrrell Racing needed two new drivers for 1974 because Jackie Stewart retired from driving at the end of 1973 and François Cevert was killed at the 1973 season finale in the United States. The team had originally planned to have Cevert and Jody Scheckter as their driver line up for 1974. Following Cevert's death, Tyrrell signed Patrick Depailler as replacement. In the first three races of 1974, (Argentina, Brazil and South Africa), Tyrrell used the earlier 005 and 006 chassis.

At the Dutch Grand Prix Scheckter finished fifth and Depailler sixth. At the French Grand Prix, Scheckter took fourth and Depailler finished eighth in the 006.

In the British Grand Prix Scheckter took the lead and won the race, engine failure took Depailler out of the race. In Germany, Depailler through an accident caused by broken suspension.
