This was one wild and cool elf F1 car...I remmeber them back when i was a kiddy..And having toys of them....I use to think...6 wheels? Why? Well come to find out..They last longer...More rubber too the ground so they turn better...Sence they was smaller, less drag....Funny how things..Like our cleveland motors got banned from some racing for being too good huh? When this car hit the track it dominated the 4 wheel f1 cars...Could you imagine if they would of kept going on it?
The final team to experiment with a six-wheeler were Williams. But when the governing body got wind of the performance advantage Williams had unlocked the technology was quickly banned.
Their six-wheeled car promised a leap forward in grip comparable to that which had been seen when ground effects first arrived. Williams’ 1982 car had a lift to drag ratio of 8.2 – the six-wheeler’s was 13.4. At the end of 1982, ground effects were banned, and Williams’ 1983 car had a lift to drag ratio of 1.1.
