Tyrrell ran the BRM Formula 2 operation througout 1965, 1966 and 1967 whilst Stewart was signed to the Formula One team. Tyrrell then signed a deal to run Formula 2 cars made by French company Matra, but allied to the new Ford DFV engine, Tyrrell and Jackie Stewart took the step up to Formula 1 in 1968, Stewart winning his first Formula One World Championship in 1969. Tyrrell and Stewart ran the Matra-Fords throughout 1970, while Derek Gardner worked on the first in-house Tyrrell Grand Prix car at the woodshed in Ockham, Surrey. Emerging in 1971, the Tyrrell 001 won both drivers' and constructors' championships that year, with a driving strength of Jackie Stewart and François Cévert. Stewart's 1972 challenge was hamstrung by a stomach ulcer, but he returned to full fitness in 1973. He and Cévert finishing 1st and 2nd in the Championship. Tragedy struck on October 6th, 1973, as Cévert was killed in practice for the US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. Stewart, who was to retire at the end of the season, immediately stood down. Without their star driver or his skilled French protege aboard, Tyrrell were never serious World Championship contenders again.

In 1977, the Turbo era dawned in Grand Prix racing, which was, by the mid-1980s, to render normally aspirated engined cars obsolete.

Tyrrell struggled on through the 1980s and 1990s - although their insubstantial on-track performances were not matched by the sway which Ken Tyrrell held behind the scenes in Grand Prix politics. Eventually, in 1998 and in the face of dwindling form and ill health, Ken was forced to sell his team to British American Tobacco, the team becoming British American Racing. The final race for Tyrrell was the 1998 Japanese Grand Prix, where Toranosuke Takagi tooled around at the back of the field, whilst his team-mate Ricardo Rosset failed to qualify. // Events and trends The 1990s are generally classified as having moved slightly away from the more conservative 1980s, but otherwise retaining the same mindset. ... 1998 is a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated the International Year of the Ocean. ...
