Tyrrell Racing

First coming in being in 1958, Tyrrell Racing first ran Formula Three cars for Ken Tyrrell and local stars. In typically forthright fashion, Tyrrell decided he was not racing driver material and stood down as a driver in 1959 to focus on the management side of racing. Throughout the 1960s, Tyrrell moved through the lower formulas, variously giving single-seater debuts to future champions John Surtees and Jacky Ickx.

What Tyrrell is most famed for, though, is its partnership with Jackie Stewart, who Tyrrell signed up in 1963. Tyrrell spotted Stewart's dormant talent and entered the Scotsman in Formula Three. Stewart made his F1 debut with BRM in 1965 but trusted Tyrrell's judgement and was prepared to gamble when his mentor decided to form a grand prix team in 1968. Tyrrell raced under the marque of ‘Matra International’, using a Matra chassis powered by a Ford-Cosworth engine. A strong first season saw Stewart win three races and finish second in the Championship (albeit by a large-at-the-time gap of twelve points), whilst Tyrrell’s team took third in the Constructors’ table. The following year, the Tyrrell- Stewart partnership won their first championship, dominating the 1969 season with six wins and one second-place from eleven.

Tyrrell gambled again at the end of 1970 when, not liking the performance of the Matra chassis, he built his own car in secret, before unveiling it to the astonishment of his competitors. Stewart would go to win two more titles in 1971 and 1973, whilst Tyrrell Racing would win their one and only Constructors’ title in 1971. Stewart's retirement at the end of 1973 marked the beginning of a slow decline for Tyrrell, though the team would remain a force throughout the 1970s.  Causing another sensation in 1976, Tyrrell he unveiled a six-wheeled F1 car, which many regarded as a gimmick until Jody Scheckter won the Swedish Grand Prix. The design was only abandoned after Goodyear refused to develop the small tyres needed for the car, too busy fighting the other tyre manufacturers.

After the turbo era dawned in Formula One, Tyrrell was the last team to race with the naturally-aspirated Cosworth DFV. It was the beginning of two decades of struggle for the team, which was often underfunded through lack of sponsorship. The last of 33 Grand Prix victories came in 1983 when Michele Alboreto won in Detroit. Tyrrell's staunchly British team was left behind by the rampant commercialism that boosted his rivals budgets, but the team fought on, gaining the odd good result with the likes of Jean Alesi. In 1997, Tyrrell finally sold the team to British American and the team completed its final season in 1998.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
  • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
  • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
  • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
  • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
- The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
- During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
- This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
- You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
