Page "Jack Brabham" Paragraph 25

Following his retirement, Brabham and his family moved to a farm between Sydney and Melbourne.

Brabham says that he " never really wanted " the move, but his wife hoped their sons could grow up away from motorsport.

As well as running this new venture, he continued his interest in a range of businesses in the UK and Australia, including a small aviation company and several garages and car dealerships.

He also set up Engine Developments Ltd. in 1971 with John Judd, who had worked for Brabham on the Repco engine project in the mid 1960s.

The company builds engines for many racing applications.

The Brabham team continued in Formula One, winning two further drivers ' championships in the early 1980s under Bernie Ecclestone's ownership.

Although the original organisation went into administration in 1992, the name was attached to a German company selling cars and accessories in 2008, and an unsuccessful attempt to set up a new Formula One team the following year.

On both occasions the Brabham family, which was unconnected to the ventures, announced its intention to take legal advice.

Brabham is a shareholder in Jack Brabham Engines Pty Ltd., an Australian company marketing Jack Brabham memorabilia.
