The Tyrrell 024 was the car with which the Tyrrell team competed in the 1996 Formula One World Championship. It was driven by Japanese Ukyo Katayama and Finn Mika Salo, who were in their fourth and second seasons with the team respectively.
The car was a significant improvement over the ineffective 1995 model, prompting Salo to say that they shouldn't be talked about in the same day. [1] However, the team's efforts were severely compromised by the unreliability of their Yamaha engines, a decision which resulted in the team switching to Ford V8 power for 1997.
Salo was generally impressive throughout the season, scoring vital points finishes on three occasions. He again overshadowed Katayama, who moved to Minardi for 1997.
The team eventually finished eighth in the Constructors' Championship, with five points.

The Tyrrell Racing Organisation was an auto racing team and Formula One constructor founded by Ken Tyrrell (1924–2001) which started racing in 1958 and started building its own cars in 1970. The team experienced its greatest success in the early 1970s, when it won three Drivers' Championships and one Constructors' Championship with Jackie Stewart.

The team was bought by British American Tobacco in 1997 and completed its final season as Tyrrell in 1998.
