I attended my one and only Formula One race in, I believe, 1976 in Long Beach, CA.  I remember that the Ferraris just sounded different from all the other cars, much more high pitched.  I also remember Tyrrell was running the six wheeled cars, two regular size wheels in back and four small wheels in front that all turned.  They really stuck like glue in the corners.

Bill, tgo

Those were the days of high and independent innovation. Now there are many, many technical specifications so that the cars are different only at the margins. Still stick like glue in the corners, however and so much safer for the drivers.
