I took this photograph on a visit to the Donington Park Museum in May 1989.
It's a 1980 Brabham BT49 that was designed by Gordon Murray for the 1979 F1 season and was powered by the 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine. Nelson Piquet was the team leader in the 1980 season and finished second in the World Drivers' Championship, winning three of the races. Ricardo Zunino drove the second Brabham for the first half of the season, but scored no Championship points, and Héctor Rebaque took over for the second half of the season winning one point. Brabham finished in third place in the World Constructors' Championship.
