  A buck fifty in that thing, with those fuel tanks, holy crap.

  How about some detail? Engine capacity, power outputs instead of saying over and over how "stunning" it is...

  Tauranac chose a deliberately conservative chassis design and aimed to get the best both worlds by combining a space frame and riveted/bonded on panels

  Not forgetting the T in BT is for Ron Tauranac. So often forgotten.

  I don't think you said the word "absolutely" enough. You only used it in every second sentence. Try using it more often in future.

  Nice to see it in green & gold, although the traditional Australian sporting colours are green & yellow, which would be confusing in F1 as they were Lotus's team colours. Another nerdy fact is that, due to Repco not having sufficiently deep pockets to build an engine from scratch, Brabham decided to use the lightweight aluminium Rover (neé Buick) 3.5 litre V8 block, destroked it to the required 3 litres, replace the standard 2 bolt main bearing caps with 4 bolt ones & get renowned fellow Australian engineer, Phil Irving to do the design & engineering of the engine including the SOHC heads (again probably due to budgetary constraints). Although it developed less power than Ferrari's seemingly all-conquering cars, it was ultimately more reliable, enabling Brabham to win the 1966 Gran Prix. That was back when Repco actually did some pretty terrific engineering. 1966 would not have a good year for old Enzo, losing the 24 hours of Le Mans to Ford & both the F1 world driver's & constructor's championships to an Australian using a Rover engine. It would almost be enough to make you give up on motor sport.

  The official Australian sport colours are in fact green and gold .

  Small detail, but the engine was based on the Oldsmobile block. The deal to sell the GM V8 to Rover was only concluded in January 1965 and the technology transfer only began then. Development of the engine was well underway by the time Rover were producing engines. With the expertise that went into the engine, the Repco Record Sports car and the Hi-Power head for the Holden engine, it's a great shame that the once great Australian Repco is no longer Australian.

  It holds a title that will never be beaten, the car that won the F1 constructors title and was owned by its driver who won the F1 championship.

  Ol' "Black Jack" Brabham (so called because of his jet black hair) & his good mate & business partner Ron Taurinac, who did much, if not most of the design & development.

  It would have been interesting if Repco had finished developing the 4 valve engine for the 1968 season.

  one careful owner, low mileage. I'm fascinated by the time period in F1 around late 60s with changing tyres, wider wheel to wheel and adding wings, giving them the classic modern look. The 70s cars are closer to now in looks than the 66 here . . . hmm

  @danielleclare2938Ай бұрын

  I wonder if todays craftsman could build that car and it also makes me think could those guys from the 60's build todays chassis and suspension?? Whom is the better or would they be the same...

  The BT20 did not have a stressed member engine (or monocoque chassis). The first was the Lotus 49 of 1967. The first monocoque Lotus was the 25 of 1962. The first production monocoque Brabham was the BT28C of 1972.

  Right, at 02:06 you can start to clearly see the tubular space frame chassis underneath the Repco engine.

  One of these were stolen maybe 6 years ago from a private collection and was found a few blocks after the crooks tired of pushing it. Brighton, Australia.

  Great video. I'm and Aussie, and we are all proud of Sir Jack, a true gentleman. He was 40 years old when he won his third championship, and in his last year was in the running early on, at age 44! He was supposed to race a Torana SLR L34 at Bathurst for our annual great race, in 1976 (I think, might have been '75) with Stirling Moss, but the car was rear-ended on the grid at the start of the race. kzread.info/dash/bejne/hIB-rKibXbKohcY.htmlsi=NCMobCe6Tpy077nt What a pity!

  Hi, thanks for the question, we will cover more of this on the next podcast. One name is Kimi Antonelli, Mercedes junior driver, I predict he is a potential Lewis Hamilton replacement, keep any eye on that name!

  I very much enjoyed listening to this podcast and finding out about your respective journeys into the world of motorsport. I have listened to a couple of other FC podcasts and enjoyed these too, as your presenting style is professional, and at the same time easy on the ear and relaxin. There are lots of interesting facts and stories which you retell brilliantly. A great partnership. I look forward to tuning into future podcasts and in the meantime I have a couple of questions for Rob. Q1. How did your role as a marshal evolve into the Pit Lane marshal at the F1 British Grand Prix and what was the timeframe? Q2. Are marshals subject to a confidentiality agreement as part of their role as a marshal at a motor racing event?
