I read in an article on grandprix.com that also Ken Tyrrell's sons Bob Tyrrell and Kenneth Tyrrell have shares on the Tyrrell teams. As both sold his shares to BAR in 1998, Bob was owning 23% of the team, Kenneth 10%. Bob also was director in the team.

So: Since when were they shareholder?
Was there something planed they will running the team in future?
What did they after leaving Tyrrell? Yet in motorsport?
Something known about other stations in their racing career?

Please, let me know more about both guys.

Hi Historyfan!

I know Bob was already in the seventies involved with asking royalties from model car manufacturers. In a way ahead of his time. Still many model toy makers couldn't resist to make a sixwheeler.
The artisan makers have not been helped so much. Still in those days the teams didn't ask ridiculous amounts as they do today.
Tamiya and Western Models got full co-operation, amongst others.

Apparently Hot Wheels are bringing out a 1/64 P34 this year, amongst all thier cartoon cars - lets hope they pay their dues.
