Held at Circuit Paul Ricard from 8 to 10 May 2026, the KENNOL Grand Prix de France Historique gathered historic Formula 1 cars, Formula 2 and Formula 3 single-seaters, endurance prototypes, GTs, Group C machinery and demonstration runs for one of France’s major historic racing weekends.

The event had a particular resonance for Tyrrell. In 2026, the Tyrrell P34 marked fifty years since its first Formula 1 World Championship appearance. One of the six-wheeled cars appeared at Paul Ricard during the weekend, reconnecting the P34 with the circuit where Patrick Depailler finished second for Tyrrell in the 1976 French Grand Prix, with Jody Scheckter sixth in the sister car.

It was a fitting setting for one of Tyrrell’s clearest engineering arguments: a car built not to attract attention, but to solve a problem differently.
