The **Tyrrell 011** was a [Formula One](/source/Formula_One) car designed by [Maurice Philippe](/source/Maurice_Philippe) for the [Tyrrell Racing Organisation](/source/Tyrrell_Racing). ## Design The 011 was powered by a Cosworth DFV engine and initially ran on Avon tyres before the team switched into Goodyear rubber. ### Upgrades For 1982, Tyrrell made a minor modification to the 011 by redesigning the ground effect and removing the front wing. For 1983, Tyrrell upgraded the 011 into a derivative version of the car, the **011B**. The differences were the removal of the ground effect, smaller sidepods, open engine cover and revised front and rear wings. ## Racing history It made its debut in the hands of [American](/source/United_States) [Eddie Cheever](/source/Eddie_Cheever) at the [1981 German Grand Prix](/source/1981_German_Grand_Prix) where he qualified 18th and finished the race in the points with 5th place. The 011 raced in three seasons of Formula One ([1981](/source/1981_Formula_One_World_Championship) - [1983](/source/1983_Formula_One_World_Championship)) although its only full season was [1982](/source/1982_Formula_One_World_Championship). Drivers for Tyrrell in that time included Cheever, [Michele Alboreto](/source/Michele_Alboreto), [Brian Henton](/source/Brian_Henton), [Slim Borgudd](/source/Slim_Borgudd) and [Danny Sullivan](/source/Danny_Sullivan). Tyrrell were able to win 2 races with the 011, both by Alboreto. The first win at the [1982 Caesars Palace Grand Prix](/source/1982_Caesars_Palace_Grand_Prix) was also Alboreto's first and the last 011 victory was the [1983 Detroit Grand Prix](/source/1983_Detroit_Grand_Prix). This race was also the last of 155 Grand Prix wins for the Cosworth DFV engine which had made its F1 debut 16 years earlier in [1967](/source/1967_Formula_One_season). The 011 was replaced two-thirds of the way through the 1983 season by the [Tyrrell 012](/source/Tyrrell_012). ## Livery Throughout the three seasons, the 011 was painted in different liveries and gained numerous sponsorships, most notably the green and black in colour sponsored by the Italian fashion brand [Benetton](/source/Benetton_Group) of the 1983 cars. ## Gallery - A 1982 Tyrrell 011 pictured in 2011.
