1970 Brabham BT33

This car competed in the Silverstone International Trophy Race for Pre 1978 Grand Prix Cars at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.
It's the 1970 Brabham BT33 of Duncan Dayton designed by Ron Tauranac and has a 2,993cc V8 Ford Cosworth DFV engine. The BT33 was driven by Jack Brabham and Rolf Stommelen in the 1970 season, Jack Brabham winning the South African Grand Prix, and with two second places and a third place he finished in sixth place in the World Drivers' Championship. Rolf Stommelen had a third place and three fifth place finishes to end up in eleventh place in the Championship. Duncan Dayton's car is chassis is BT33/1 and was driven by Rolf Stommelen that season.

Brabham BT33

I photographed this car during the Grand Prix Masters race at the Silverstone Historic Tribute meeting in June 2004.
It's the 1970 (though shown in the programme of the event as 1968) Brabham BT33 of Sid Hoole with a 2,993cc V8 Cosworth DFV engine, a car driven by Jack Brabham and Rolf Stommelen in the 1970 season. Jack Brabham finished in sixth place in the World Championship, winning the first race of the season in South Africa, and Rolf Stommelen eleventh. It may well be the same BT33 that I showed on 27 August 2018 that was driven by Duncan Dayton at Silverstone in 1999, and if so then it's chassis #BT33/1.
