GOODWOOD, England ? For the first time ever, three historic British six-wheeled Formula 1 racecars will appear together at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The annual festival runs June 28 to July 1.

The trio of six-wheelers includes the Tyrrell P34, the March 2-4-0 and the Williams FW08B.

Ken Tyrrell's radical racecar, the only one of the three to feature four front wheels and actually enter a race, competed in 1976-'77, with Jody Scheckter and Patrick Depailler finishing 1-2 at the 1976 Swedish Grand Prix.

Robin Herd's March Engineering car, tested in 1977, had four wheels in the rear, as did Frank Williams' experimental six-wheeler in 1982, but neither car was ever entered in a race.

A fourth six-wheeler, the Ferrari 312T6, was tested by Niki Lauda and Carlos Reutemann in 1977, but was never entered in competition by the Scuderia.

Six-wheeled cars were effectively banned from F1 in 1983.

Inside Line says: Today it's the Nissan Deltawing, but back in the 70s it was six-wheelers like these that were pushing the limits of racecar engineering.
