Tyrrell 012 No.3 Dutch GP 1983 Michele Alboreto in 1:18 scale
This is the Tyrrell 012 No.3 6th Dutch GP 1983 Michele Alboreto in 1:18 scale by Spark.
In the 1983 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Italian driver Michele Alboreto finished sixth behind the wheel of the Tyrrell 012 No. 3, scoring a valuable point for the Benetton‑sponsored Tyrrell team in a season dominated by powerful turbo‑charged cars. Alboreto was a rising talent in Formula 1, known for his smooth yet determined driving style, and he would later go on to race for Ferrari. The Tyrrell 012, designed by Maurice Philippe, was notable for being Tyrrell’s first chassis built mostly from carbon fibre and featured a lightweight Ford Cosworth DFY V8 engine — an atmospheric unit that was down on power compared with the turbo engines used by many rivals, but helped keep the car nimble and competitive on twistier circuits. Despite its limitations, the 012’s clever design and Alboreto’s skill helped earn that sixth‑place finish in the Dutch GP, a standout result in an otherwise tough year for the team.
