At the British Grand Prix, Brabham was closing on Graham Hill's BRM before Hill spun off, leaving Brabham the victory.

Denny Hulme led Jack Brabham away from the start, but the Australian soon spun, handing second place to Surtees, but by lap 21 had managed to regain 2nd.

The opening few laps were eventful-Jack Brabham spun in front of Bruce McLaren and Jo Siffert who collided taking avoiding action, whilst Jim Clark had to take to the escape road.

Ricardo Zunino ( Brabham BT49 ) bumped into John Watson ( McLaren M29 ) at Curva 3 and spun off ; however, he was able to recover and finish the race.

Hunt spun before the first lap was over, and second place went to Carlos Reutemann's Brabham.

The new company would compete with Cooper in the market for customer racing cars ; as Brabham was still employed by Cooper, Tauranac produced the first MRD car, for the entry level Formula Junior class, in secrecy.

Brabham took a different approach to the problem of obtaining a suitable engine: he persuaded Australian engineering company Repco to develop a new 3-litre eight-cylinder engine for him.

Brabham and Repco were aware that the engine would not compete in terms of outright power, but felt that a lightweight, reliable engine could achieve good championship results while other teams were still making their new designs reliable.

In 2012, the new extended segment of the Sydney Motorsport Park ( originally called the Long Circuit ) was re-named the Brabham Circuit, as was the front straight, named the Brabham Straight, on the eve of the Muscle Car Masters.

Surtees's debut with Ferrari's new F1 car was at the 1966 BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone, where he qualified and finished a close second behind Jack Brabham's 3-litre Brabham BT19.

The 1967 Championship was essentially an internal affair within the Brabham team for most of the year, but the new Lotus 49 gave Jim Clark and Graham Hill the opportunity to bite back.

Brabham, who first won the Grand Prix in 1955 in an obsolete sports-bodied Cooper T40 Bristol he had brought home from his first foray into English racing, would test new developments for Cooper during the European winter, beginning a flood of Cooper-Climax Grand Prix machinery into Australia and New Zealand before Brabham started building his own cars, as well as the appearance of Lotus chassis as well, finally killing off the Australian ' specials '.

For 1988 Brabham pulled out of Formula One and de Cesaris was again looking for a new home.

Australian driver Jack Brabham was over a minute behind in third position driving a Cooper T51 for the factory Cooper racing team after stopping to get new goggles as the circuit broke up.

The race, the first of the new three-litre engine regulation era where starters reached 20 cars, was won for the third time by Australian driver Jack Brabham in his Brabham BT19, his second win in succession after winning the French Grand Prix two weeks earlier.

With most of the teams struggling to come to grips with the new 3-liter formula in 1966, Jack Brabham won the World Championship with a neat, simple and lightweight chassis, the Brabham BT19.

Both the Ferrari ( 312T3 ) and Brabham ( BT46 ) teams had new cars in Kyalami for the race.

Center of the new Brabham BT46B concept was a large fan which drew air through the engine water radiator which was mounted horizontally over the engine.

Brabham has sacked Ricardo Zunino and new driver Hector Rebaque finished seventh in his first start with the team.

** At the start of the season, some new ( Onyx ) and returning ( Brabham ) teams had to pre-qualify, along with two Osellas and Zakspeeds and single EuroBrun.

* The famous old Brabham team had missed 1988 after a change of ownership in late 1987, and the new team, running Judd V8 engines and piloted by Stefano Modena and Martin Brundle, debuted in Brazil.

Center of the new Brabham BT46B ' Fancar ' concept was a huge fan taking ground effect to a higher level ( at least engineering-wise ) by pulling a vacuum from under the bottom of the car, thereby creating an enormous amount of downforce.

After initially struggling with the new machinery, he finished fifth and set the fastest lap at Monza, and repeated the feat on his way to second, behind Reutemann, at Watkins Glen, securing a one-two finish for Brabham.

The roots of its design dated back to late 1991 when Sergio Rinland was working for the Brabham team on the new Brabham BT61 that never saw the light of day.

* 1926 – Jack Brabham, Australian race car driver

Motor Racing Developments Ltd., commonly known as Brabham (), was a British racing car manufacturer and Formula One racing team.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Brabham introduced innovations such as the Gordon Murray designed " fan car "— which won its only race before being withdrawn — in-race refuelling, carbon brakes, and hydropneumatic suspension.

Jack Brabham was 40 when he won the F1 drivers ' title in a Brabham car.

Brabham pushed for further advances, and played a significant role in developing Cooper's highly successful 1960 T53 " lowline " car, with input from his friend Tauranac.

Brabham was confident he could do better than Cooper, and in late 1959 he asked Tauranac to come to the UK and work with him, initially producing upgrade kits for Sunbeam Rapier and Triumph Herald road cars at his car dealership, Jack Brabham Motors, but with the long-term aim of designing racing cars.

The Brabham Racing Organisation ( BRO ) started the year fielding customer Lotus chassis, in which Brabham took two points finishes, before the turquoise-liveried Brabham BT3 car made its debut at the 1962 German Grand Prix.

Brabham used engines from Australian engineering firm Repco, which had never produced a Formula One engine before, based on aluminium V8 engine blocks from the defunct American Oldsmobile F85 road car project, and other off the shelf parts.

At the French Grand Prix at Reims-Gueux, Jack Brabham became the first man to win a Formula One world championship race in a car bearing his own name.

Jack Brabham won his third title in 1966, becoming the only driver to win the Formula One World Championship in a car carrying his own name ( cf Surtees, Hill and Fittipaldi Automotive ).

The car was fast — Rindt set pole position twice during the season — but Brabham and Rindt finished only three races between them, and ended the year with only ten points.

Technically conservative, Brabham did not produce a monocoque car until 1970.

He was a founder of the Brabham racing team and race car constructor that bore his name.

A midget car similar to those driven by Brabham.

Brabham started racing after an American friend, Johnny Schonberg, persuaded him to watch a midget car race.

Brabham records that he was not taken with the idea of driving, being convinced that the drivers " were all lunatics " but he agreed to build a car with Schonberg.

Brabham won the 1948 Australian Speedway Championship, the 1949 Australian and South Australian Speedcar championships, and the 1950 – 1951 Australian championship with the car.

Brabham soon " seemed to merge into Cooper Cars ": he was not an employee, but he started working at Cooper on a daily basis from the midpoint of the 1955 season building a Bobtail mid-engined sports car, intended for Formula One, the top category of single seater racing.

After more than three hours of racing, the exhausted Brabham, who " hated to be beaten ", pushed the car to the line to finish sixth.

The airborne car hit a telegraph pole, throwing Brabham onto the track, where he narrowly avoided being hit by one of his teammates but escaped with no serious injury.
