This car competed in the Force Pre-1972 Grand Prix Cars race at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2002.
It's the 1969 Brabham BT26 DFV of Philip Walker, and was driven in the race by Rob Wilson. The car is chassis BT26/2, which was orginally built in 1968 with a Repco engine and was driven in 6 Grands Prix that season by Jochen Rindt. The car was rebuilt for the 1969 season with a 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine and driven by Jack Brabham until he crashed and severely damaged the car in a test session at Silverstone in June of that year. Later that year the car went to America, but returned to Europe and was rebuilt in its Cosworth DFV form not long before it appeared at this meeting.
