Brabham jack is the unique pilot in to have gained the championship of the world with a car that took its own name. By this, he is interesting that we learn more of the history of this legendary equipment.

Brabham twice gained the title with the Cooper T51 Climax

Brabham had gained the titles for Cooper in 1959 and 1960, but when it returned to Australia fixed a society with Rum Tauranac, aircraft engineer. They returned to England and they created Motor Racing Developments (MRD). The cars were known under the name of MRD because somebody believed good thus for announcing to its equipment. But one pronounced MRD in French quickly, meant what usually they make the dogs in the places or streets…
Therefore, Brabham allowed the use of its own name. In 1963 the company created by Brabham using the cars constructed by the MRD, gained his first races in 1964 with Give victorious Gurney in the Great Prizes of France and Mexico.

AGE OF TRIUMPHS

In 1966 Brabham Jack champion with his own vehicle devoted itself

Two years later Brabham he formed a structure with a motor of the Australian company Repco. With this motor, Brabham felt like to the being aircraft commander in gaining a race with a car well that took its own name in the Great Prize of France. Later, Jack gained his third championship of the world. Only that this time was more special: It was with his car.
The following year, Brabham continued with the Repco impeller. The new motor could not overcome to Ford Cosworth of the Lotus of Jim Clark, but the regularity did possible to Denny Hulme to gain a second successive championship for Brabham.

Then the equipment began to mark rules. Brabham managed to enlist a new Austrian pilot, Jochen Rindt, for 1968. Nevertheless the Repco motors were already little competitive and Rindt could not prolong the success of the equipment.
The new motor of Repco with four cranks was not quick, nor was reliable either. Then angry by the bad results, Rindt went to Lotus at the end of the season.

IT LEAVES JACK BRABHAM, IT ENTERS BERNIE ECCLESTONE

After the dominion of Jackie Stewart and Matra in 1969, Brabham, that was 44 years old by that then, decided that 1970 would be its last year.

The Tauranac designer produced his first design in Brabham, the BT33, and Brabham Jack gained the opening of the match in Africa of the South. It must also have won in Monaco but Rindt, that was after, caused that Brabham committed an error in the last return.
It was there when Lotus raised the performance with its new type 72 after a victory of Rindt in Brands Hatch, thanks to the fact that Brabham analyzed bad the strategy and it remained without gasoline in the last return. It was the end of his challenge of his last year. Sadly, then Rindt became the unique champion postmorten of this sport after the accident that was going to have in the Great Prize of Italy, in Monza.

The equipment did not overwhelm the expectations in 1971 and it bought Ecclestone

After the difficulties in 1971 with Graham Hill and Timothy Schenken, Tauranac sold the company to Bernie Ecclestone.
One of the assistants of Tauranac in the design, the South African Gordon Murray, became person in charge of Brabham that, instead of to take label “member state” (Ecclestone/Murray) continued under sample BT.
The BT44, transported the same stylée of Murray, he was one of the cars more tuna of Formula 1, and in addition they gained three races in 1974 with Carlos Reutemann.

THE GLORIA FINISHES

The predominance of Ferrari with the motors Fiat V12 seduced Ecclestone to sign a contract with Alfa Romeo to obtain a similar machine, but the equipment could not obtain another championship in spite of having Niki Lauda between its lines.
Lotus by then had the aspect of a pioneer with its aerodynamic cars, and the famous effect ground.

Lauda arrived at the equipment after their passage by Ferrari in 1978

Murray, annoying by I devise of its rivals, constructed the BT46B with an enormous ventilator in the later part that drove the car in the track. Lauda advanced immediately to the Lotus in the Great Prize of Sweden. She was one devises shining but that was prohibited quickly.
Nelson Piquet was united to the equipment in 1978 and was the “favorite” of Brabham after the retirement of Niki Lauda the following year. Nelson Piquet gained the championships of the world for Brabham in 1981 and 1983.

The last called car Brabham into the hands of the Italian Amati

But the Brazilian went at the end of 1985, and Brabham declined quickly. Trying for the equipment, Elio de Angelis on board the BT55 was killed and, at the end of 1987, Ecclestone retired Brabham of the championship.
The equipment returned in 1989 after being sold a Swiss financier who entered the prison by fraud. Its quality of member still more got to be dark, and although the equipment worked until 1992, year in which disappeared for always.
