Great! Old Depailler's car used as T-car without elf & Citibank advertisements! I have never heard before that this old hack was also used there!

All reports confirm that an 008 was present as the spare car, but they all say it was not used. However there was a Good Year tyre test in December 1978 at Interlagos. I only have this small clipping from that test. (No mention of Tyrrell being there) but they might have been.

Maybe you can tell us what the source is of the photo (date of publishing could be the key). Thanks!

Hans, the test you mentioned took place over three days in Interlagos, however the Tyrrel team did not participate (at least in the records I have). Only Lotus, Copersucar, McLaren and Brabham. After these Goodyear tests, the tire supplier would carry out tests in Argentina. I don't know if they were carried out. If they were and if Tyrrel participated, it could be that the photos are from there.

Thank you!! Looks like the car was used after all duting the GP. Could be during the Saturday AM session. Shall I upload it to RbR as the spare car?? Other opinions??
