In the 1970s, the Formula 1 racing cars not only grew larger and larger front and rear wings. It was also the time of many an experiment. In 1976, for example, a British racing team tried out how two front axles with significantly smaller wheels affected handling and aerodynamics. Since the front wheels, which were only ten inches in size, offered less grip than the usual Formula 1 front wheels, the team switched to two steered axles. Both were hidden from the airstream behind the high front spoiler, thus generating less drag and turbulence. Initially, the drivers were able to achieve decent results. However, the tire partner at the time was slow to develop the small front wheels, as there was only one team as a customer. For 1977, the livery changed from dark blue to a mix of blue and white. But it wasn’t possible for them to match the previous year’s successes.<\/p>\n\n\n
