The Tyrrell 020 was a Formula One racing car designed by Harvey Postlethwaite and George Ryton for Tyrrell Racing and raced during the season, the entire 1992 season and the half of 1993 season.

Overview

1991

The 020 was driven by Satoru Nakajima who brought the Honda engine contract with him and also by Stefano Modena. Its best result was a second place by Modena in the Canadian Grand Prix. Tyrrell scored 12 points to finish 6th in the Constructors' Championship with half the points scored by Modena's 2nd in Canada.

The car was powered by the 690 bhp Honda RA101E V10 engine previously raced by McLaren in and maintained by Mugen Motorsports, which would run Mugen-Honda badged engines the following year for Footwork Arrows.

1992

The car was updated for the season and was dubbed the 020B. For this season the Honda V10 was replaced with the 680 bhp Ilmor LH10 V10 engine and ran on Goodyear tyres. It was driven by Olivier Grouillard and veteran Andrea de Cesaris. The team only scored 8 points for the season but again finished in 6th place.

1993

The 020 was pressed into service again for the first nine races of the season. Again updated it was called the 020C. For the third time in three years the car ran a V10 engine but this time it carried the 690 bhp Yamaha OX10A. It was driven again by De Cesaris who was joined by Japanese driver Ukyo Katayama. Neither driver would score a World Championship point driving the car.

The Tyrrell 020C was replaced by the 021 midway through the 1993 season.

Sponsorship and livery

1991

During the pre-season test, the 020 sporting the similar livery to its predecessor. After failing to deal with a tobacco brand sponsorship, Braun was chosen as the team's main sponsor. The car painted in primer grey colour with white graphics and red pinstripes.

1992

After losing the aftermentioned main sponsor, the livery was changed. The car was painted in white base colour and dark blue. Retaining sponsors including Nippon Shinpan and Calbee. Eurosport joined as their minor sponsor.

1993

The livery was given yet another changes. This time, the car was painted with a same white base colour with red and blue livery. Japanese tobacco company, Cabin joined as the team's main sponsor. In the Grands Prix that did not allow tobacco branding, the text was read as "Challenge Spirit In F1". This livery would be carried over by its successor.
