European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - November 19, 1986, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Wednesday november 19, 1986 the stars and stripes Page 25 of a Momu Tyrrell s Faith in Ford rewarded data general corp the american computer firm that sponsors the British Tyrrell racing team issued a significant announcement from de troit last week and we say significant because it heralds the Tyrrell team s return to he top in formula one grand prix racing. Tyrrell dominated the scene in the Days when Scotland s Jackie Stewart won his three world championships with the team but this dominance ended with the Scot s final championship and retirement from racing in 1973. The Tyrrell team has always Hung in there since Stewart left but it has never been a genuine Power. In tact the team has not come close to a title since Stewart s retirement. Englishman Ken Tyrrell the team owner even came up with the famous six wheel Tyrrill Ford and he employed some great Drivers among them South Africa s Jody Scheckter who later became world Champion with Ferrari. Tyrrell had his share of victories even with the six Wheeler but the old Days of dominance were not to return. Throughout the years Tyrrell used Ford co Worth Power and even during the Turbo Era he still Man aged to win races now and then with the normally aspirated Ford co Worth engine. In fact he did not make a move to Turbo Power until two seasons ago when he finally made a Deal with Renault. Before Turbo Power finally made normally Aspi rated engines non competitive in grand prix racing the Ford co Worth div engines chalked up 155 grand prix races. The first came at the dutch grand prix in 1967 with the late Jim Clark or Scotland driving a Lotus Ford while the 153th and last Ford Victor came in the Detroit grand prix in june of 1983. The Driver was Michele Albreto of Italy an the car was a Tyrrell Ford co Worth Tyrrel s Faith in this engine did not go unnoticed. During the food ceremony in Detroit last week the data general Tyrrell team announced that it will use a new 3.5-Litcr normally aspirated engine during the 1987 formula one world championship and that the engine will be a Ford co Worth Doz. This engine a derivative of the once All con quering div Day is being especially developed by co Worth and Tyrrell we be the no. 1 team equipped with this engine. Team Boss Tyrrell said in Detroit that the new regulations mean that Turbo charged grand prix engines Are now part of a dying formula. I do not in tend to devote our resources Over the next 12 months to 8 formula which will have no relevance after 1987." fisa announced last month the phasing out of Turbo engines Over a two year period in favour of normally aspirated Power units and the creation of separate Drivers and constructors1 Competition for cars with normally aspirated engines in the 1987 championship. By the 1988 season the non Turbo cars will Start to take Over because they will be used exclusively the next year. Tyrrell said that As of now our team is fully committed to the new formula one created by fisa. Our Short term objective is to win the Jim Clark Drivers cup and the Colin Chapman constructors cup for cars with normally aspirated engines in 1987. In 1988, with a full year s development advantage Over the Turbo teams we will be world championship  Walter Hayes vice chairman of Ford of Europe and the Man who gave key support to the original Ford co Worth engine project in the 1960s, said our association with Ken Tyrrell goes Back a Long Way. His was the last team to win a grand prix with a Ford co Worth engine Here in Detroit in 1983 and we arc particularly pleased to be joining forces Wilh him again. The greatest racing engine in the world is making a  Tyrrell said that his Drivers England s Martin Brundic and France s Philippe Streif probably will drive for the learn in 1987, but no decision will be announced until next season. The Banning of Turbo engines has been favored in general because of the safety aspects and costs bul it should be pointed out that these engines have made things More interesting from the competitive Point of View. Before the French Renault firm Shook up formula one racing with its introduction of the Renault Turbo at the British grand prix in 1977, it was Sim ply a Case of Ford co Worth is. Ferrari. Or As Ferrari enjoyed pulling it Ferrari against the  Alfa Romeo and Malra also supplied engines at that time but on a limited basis and in a typical 26 car starting Field during the 1977 season at least 20cars would be powered by Ford co Sworths. And Ferrari of course always fielded two cars with 12-Cylin Der engines. But once Turbo engines took Over there was a entirely new look in grand prix racing and it attracted some of the world s major automotive firms. This year for instance the starting grids consisted of cars powered by porsche Ferrari Bow Honda Renault Zak Speed Ford Alfa Romeo and Modem. So the Turbo scene attracted the Industry and brought in Back into grand prix racing on a rather grand scale and that alone is to ils credit. And the racing has become lint Rale too. Englishman Derek Bell has been declared the 1986 world sports car driving Champion the title coming More than three weeks after the final round in Japan. Here s the scenario. Bell and Germany s Hans stuck factory Drivers for porsche shared the 98s world sports car driving championship with identical Points All of their drives performed for the porsche factory team. Bul this year both Drivers did one championship round in private entry porsche and that race paid off for Belt even though he finished a lowly 1 1th. After this season s final world championship round in Japan Bell and stuck again were declared co champions Wilh 82 Points each. But that did t last. Three weeks after the Fuji 1 ,000-Kilometer race England s Bell was declared the sole Champion. This occurred because under fisa championship rules if Drivers finish on equal Points a lie breaker must Lake into account other results in championship races. Last year As noted neither Driver had other results,1 but this season the porsche factory skipped the Noris ring race in Nuernberg so Bell and stuck did that race in private entry porsche cars. Bell drove the John Fitzpatrick porsche to ill place at the Noris ring while stuck who led thai race had a mechanical problem in his Bla punkt porsche and finished t5th. Bell therefore was awarded the 1986 championship on the basis of his 1 1 in place to stuck 1 3th.
