1992 Brabham BT60B

This is a photograph I took at the Donington Park Museum in September 2014.

It's a 1992 Brabham BT60B, the last Formula 1 racing car produced by the company, and has a 3,498cc V10 Judd GV engine instead of the Yamaha engine that powered the previous year's BT60. The board at the side of the car reads as follows:

1992 Braham BT60

The Brabham BT60's were revamped to 'B' specification to accommodate leased Judd V10 engines.  Damon Hill was recruited in time for the Spanish Grand Prix, but it was not until the British Grand Prix that he managed to squeeze his BT60B onto the grid for the race, where he finished last. That chassis never qualified again and was written off in practice for the Hungarian Grand Prix. The chassis before you today. no. 6, is the one Damon qualified for the Hungarian Grand Prix and finished 11th in the race and this "turned out to be the last hurrah for the famous team which had now fallen on such disappointing times". This is the last Brabham to race in a Grand Prix and launched Damon Hill into a Formula 1 career which saw him become World Champion in 1996. This car was purchased (as a tub) at the Minardi auction and restored to its original running order by Terry Mander.
