The Tyrrell 005 is a Formula One racing car that was designed for the Tyrrell team by their Chief Designer, Derek Gardner. Jackie Stewart drove the 005 in the final four races of the 1972 Formula One season, and it was also used for selected races of the 1973 and the early part of the 1974 seasons. Only one chassis was built[2] and Gardner designed it with a particularly short wheelbase of 94.05 in (238.9 cm) specifically to suit Stewart's style and abilities.[3]
