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

Founded in 1960 by two Australians, driver Jack Brabham and designer Ron Tauranac, the team won four drivers ' and two constructors ' world championships in its 30-year Formula One history.

The team won two more Formula One drivers ' championships in the 1980s with Brazilian Nelson Piquet.

British businessman Bernie Ecclestone owned Brabham during most of the 1970s and 1980s, and later became responsible for administering the commercial aspects of Formula One.

In 2009, an unsuccessful attempt was made by a German organisation to enter the 2010 Formula One season using the Brabham name.

There he started driving for the Cooper Car Company works team and by 1958 had progressed with them to Formula One, the highest category of open wheel racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l ' Automobile ( FIA ), motor sport's world governing body.

In 1959 and 1960, Brabham won the Formula One world drivers ' championship in Cooper's revolutionary mid-engined cars.

By the 1961 Formula One season, the Lotus and Ferrari teams had developed the mid-engined approach further than Cooper.

Motor Racing Developments initially concentrated on making money by building cars for sale to customers in lower formulae, so the new car for the Formula One team was not ready until partway through the 1962 Formula One season.

The Brabham BT3, the first Brabham Formula One design.

The FIA doubled the Formula One engine capacity limit to 3 litres for the 1966 season and suitable engines were scarce.

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 ).

Graham Hill took his final Formula One win in the unique " lobster claw ". Tauranac signed double world champion Graham Hill and young Australian Tim Schenken to drive for the 1971 season.

Although Hill, no longer a front-runner since his 1969 accident, took his final Formula One win in the non-championship BRDC International Trophy at Silverstone, the team scored only seven championship points.

A. S. Roma had a team in the Superleague Formula race car series where teams are sponsored by football clubs.

One of the major events that is held at the circuit, along with DTM and A1GP, is the RTL Masters of Formula 3, where Formula Three cars of several national racing series compete with each other ( originally called Marlboro Masters, before tobacco advertising ban ).

Since the company's beginnings, Ferrari has been involved in motorsport, competing in a range of categories including Formula One and sports car racing through its Scuderia Ferrari sporting division as well as supplying cars and engines to other teams and for one make series.

The Formula 3000 International Championship was a motor racing series created by the Fédération Internationale de l ' Automobile ( FIA ) in 1985 to become the final preparatory step for drivers hoping to enter the Formula One championship.

The series was staged as the Formula 3000 European Championship in 1985, as the Formula 3000 Intercontinental Championship in 1986 and 1987 and then as the Formula 3000 International Championship from 1988 to 2004.

Dallara briefly tried the series before moving up to Formula One, and AGS moved up from Formula Two but never recaptured their occasional success.

The following year the calendar was combined with that of Formula One, so the series became support races for the Grand Prix.

In the powerboat part of the multihull spectrum we find a range of boats from small single pilot Formula 1 power boat series to the large multi-engined or even gas turbined power boats that are used in the off-shore powerboat racing series and that are piloted by 2 to 4 pilots.

In 1988 he made his first step into single-seat car racing by participating in the German Formula Ford and Formula König series, winning the latter.

It pitted ten celebrities ( five male, five female ) against each other in a series of Formula One-style car races.

Systems used in series such as Formula One have become advanced to the point where the potential lap time of the car can be calculated, and this time is what the driver is expected to meet.

There was even enough interest in Group C to sustain a C2 championship for a few years ; at ' club ' level Modified Sports Car (" ModSports ") and Production Sports Car (" ProdSports ") races remained a feature of most British race meetings into the 1980s, evolving into a " Special GT " series that was essentially Formula Libre for sports or saloon cars.

Since the demise of Group C ( where Japan and Germany both had successful series of their own ) Japan has largely gone its own way in sports car racing ; the Super GT series is for very highly modified production-based cars ; although prototypes are slowly returning to Japanese racing in the Japan Le Mans Challenge many of these ' prototypes ' are little more than rebodied Formula 3 cars ( although there has been a long Japanese tradition of such hybrids ; a Grand Champion series ran for many years with rebodied Formula 2 and Formula 3000 cars, rather similar to the second incarnation of Can-Am ).

Some famous Formula One drivers have admitted that their passion for automobile racing originated from reading the Michel Vaillant comics series, among them four-time Formula One champion Alain Prost.

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.

A1GP bankrupted before its fifth season and the Dutch round was replaced with Superleague Formula

Formula fiction should not be confused with pastiche ( the mimicking of another work or author's style ), though the latter by its nature may include elements of the former ; the same holds true of some parody and satirical works as well, which may well include formulaic elements such as common stereotypes or caricatures, or which may use formulaic elements in order to mock them or point out their supposedly cliché or unrealistic nature.

Formula fiction is often stereotypically associated with early pulp magazine markets, though some works published in that medium, such as " The Cold Equations ", subvert the supposed expectations of the common narrative formula of that time.

Formula One cars race at speeds of up to with engines limited in performance to a maximum of 18, 000 revolutions per minute ( RPM ).

However, mostly since 2000, due to the always increasing expenditures, several teams, including works teams from car makers and those teams with minimal support from the automotive industry, have become bankrupt or been bought out by companies wanting to establish a team within the sport ; these buyouts are also influenced by Formula One limiting the number of participant teams.

Formula One was a new formula agreed after World War II during 1946, with the first non-championship races being held that year.

Fortran ( a blend derived from The IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System ) encompasses a lineage of versions, each of which evolved to add extensions to the language while usually retaining compatibility with previous versions.

Formula Two had become too expensive, and was dominated by works-run cars with factory engines ; the hope was that Formula 3000 would offer quicker, cheaper, more open racing.

A few smaller teams tried obsolete three-litre Formula One cars ( from Tyrrell, Williams, Minardi and RAM ), with little success — the Grand Prix and Indycar-derived entries were too unwieldy — their fuel tanks were about twice the size of those needed for F3000 races, and the weight distribution was not ideal.
