The Tyrrell 009 was a Formula One race car engineered by Maurice Philippe for Tyrrell Racing's campaign during the season. Equipped with the Ford-Cosworth DFV V8 power unit, its first appearance occurred at the 1979 Argentine Grand Prix. The vehicle was mainly driven by French racers Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jarier, although Jarier was substituted by Geoff Lees for the German Grand Prix and Derek Daly for the Austrian Grand Prix. Additionally, Daly operated a third entry in two events toward the end of the season. The 009 took part in the initial two races of the season before being replaced by the Tyrrell 010.
