Editing Tyrrell Racing (section)

==Lower formulas (1958–1967)==
Tyrrell Racing first came into being in 1958, running [[Formula Three]] cars for Ken Tyrrell and local stars. Realising he was not racing driver material, Ken Tyrrell stood down as a driver in 1959, and began to run a [[Formula Junior]] operation using the woodshed owned by his family business, Tyrrell Brothers, as a workshop.  Throughout the 1960s, Tyrrell moved through the lower formulas, variously giving single seater debuts to [[John Surtees]] and [[Jacky Ickx]]. The team's most famous partnership was the one forged with [[Jackie Stewart]], who first signed up in 1963.

Tyrrell ran the [[British Racing Motors|BRM]] [[Formula Two]] operation throughout 1965, 1966 and 1967 whilst Stewart was signed to BRM's [[Formula One]] team.  The team then signed a deal to run F2 cars made by French company [[Equipe Matra Sports|Matra]]. Tyrrell's first entry into a World Championship Grand Prix was at the [[1966 German Grand Prix]], entering F2-spec [[Matra MS5]]s for Ickx and [[Hubert Hahne]]. Hahne finished 9th, runner-up of the F2 cars. However, Ickx was involved in a first-lap crash with the [[Brabham]] of [[John Taylor (racing driver)|John Taylor]], who later died from burns sustained in the accident.<ref>{{cite book|ref=SS94 | title=The Guinness Complete Grand Prix Who's Who|first=Steve |last = Small|publisher = Guinness Publishing | date = 1994 | pages=378–379|ISBN=0851127029}}</ref> Tyrrell later entered the [[1967 German Grand Prix]] with an F2 car for Ickx, this time the [[Matra MS7]]. Ickx qualified with the 3rd-fastest time, however F2 cars were required to start the race from the back of the grid. He ran as high as 5th before retiring from the race with a broken suspension.<ref>[[#SS94|Small, Steve]], p. 196</ref>
