Brabham

Two Brabhams took part in the Thoroughbred Grand Prix Championship race in the SeeRed meeting at Donington Park in September 2006 and here are photographs of both cars.

This is the Brabham BT49C driven in the 1981 season by Nelson Piquet and Hector Rebaque, Piquet winning the World Drivers Championship and Rebaque finishing in tenth place. In the Constructors Championship Brabham finished in second place to the Williams team.

Here is the car at Redgate Corner during the Saturday qualifying session driven by Joaquin Folch followed by the 1979 Arrows A1 driven by Rowland Kinch.

This is the other Brabham car in the race, the BT34 'Lobster Claw', again at Redgate Corner and driven by Ean Pugh. The car, designed by Ron Tauranac, was driven with no great success in the 1971 World Championship by Graham Hill who finished in a lowly twenty first position with only two points.
