Career

Brabham was born the son of a grocer in the Sydney suburb of Hurstville. Sydney (ˈsɪdniː is the most populous city in Australia, with a Metropolitan area population of approximately 4 Hurstville is a Suburb in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. He left school at fifteen to work in an auto repair garage.

During World War II, he served in the Royal Australian Air Force. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including The Royal Australian Air Force ( RAAF) is the Air Force branch of the Australian Defence Force. In 1946, he opened a small repair business. He also raced midget cars and in his first season won the NSW Championship and formed a partnership with Ron Tauranac. Ron Tauranac was the Australian designer for Formula 1 driver Jack Brabham from 1962 until Brabham's retirement as a driver at the end of the 1970 season

In 1955, he made his Grand Prix debut at the British Grand Prix driving a Cooper-Bristol. Results from the 1955 Formula One British Grand Prix held at Aintree on 16 July 1955 The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. Bristol Cars is a manufacturer of hand-built Luxury cars ref name=Bild/> based at Filton, near Bristol, England. He rejoined the Cooper Car Company team after campaigning his own Maserati 250F in 1956. The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. Having the motor behind the driver - as in the Coopers - has the advantage that the weight is concentrated on the powered rear wheels for more traction. In 1959, Brabham won the World Championship with a Coventry Climax engined Cooper. Coventry Climax was a British forklift truck, fire pump and speciality Engine manufacturer In 1960, he won the championship again with Cooper.

Brabham took the Championship-winning Cooper to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a test following the 1960 season, then entered the famous 500-mile race in a modified version of the Formula One car in 1961. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway Indiana (an Enclave of Indianapolis) in the United States, is the home of the The Indianapolis 500-Mile Race, often shortened to Indianapolis 500 or Indy 500, and historically known simply as "The 500" is an American The "funny" little car from Europe was mocked by the other teams, but it ran as high as third although ultimately finishing ninth. The Indianapolis establishment gradually realized the writing was on the wall as Brabham and his team principal John Cooper had shown that the days of front-engined roadsters were numbered. John Newton Cooper ( July 17, 1923 – December 24, 2000) was a co-founder with his father Charles Cooper of the Cooper Car Company Ironically, Cooper was not as competitive this year, as the 1. 5 litre engine rules were introduced and the famous Shark Nose Ferrari dominated. Brabham also raced at Indy in 1964, 1969 and 1970.

In 1961, he founded Motor Racing Developments with Ron Tauranac. Origins The Brabham team was founded by Jack Brabham and Ron Tauranac, who met in 1951 while both were successfully building and racing cars in their native Ron Tauranac was the Australian designer for Formula 1 driver Jack Brabham from 1962 until Brabham's retirement as a driver at the end of the 1970 season A newly introduced engine limit in Formula One of 1500 cc did not suit Brabham and he did not win a single race with a 1500 cc car,[2] although his first team win came in 1964 with Dan Gurney. Daniel Sexton Gurney (born April 13, 1931) is an American racing driver race car constructor and team owner His team suffered poor reliability during this period, attributed by some commentators to Brabham's notorious thrift. Referring to Brabham's unwillingness to spend money, his team mate Gurney said that "Jack was tighter than a bull's ass in fly season". [3] In 1966, a new 3000 cc formula was created, Brabham in a Brabham-Repco won the championship again and became the first driver to win the Formula One World Championship in a car that carried his own name. In 1967, the title went to his teammate Denny Hulme. Denis Clive "Denny" Hulme OBE ( 18 June 1936 &ndash 4 October 1992) was a New Zealand car racer the 1967 Following injuries in the 1969 season, Brabham intended to retire.

Finding no top drivers available Brabham decided to race for one more year. He began auspiciously, winning the first race of season, the South African Grand Prix, and then led the third race, the Grand Prix of Monaco until the very last turn of the last lap. Brabham was about to hold off the onrushing Jochen Rindt (the eventual 1970 F1 champion) when his front wheels locked in a skid on the sharp right turn only yards from the finish and he ended up second. Karl Jochen Rindt ( April 18, 1942 - September 5, 1970) was a German - Austrian racing driver After the 13th and final race of the season, the Mexican Grand Prix, Brabham did retire. He had tied Jackie Stewart for fifth in the points standings in the season he drove at the age of 44. For other people of this name see Jackie Stewart (disambiguation. Brabham then made a complete break from racing, selling his interest in the team to Ron Tauranac and returning to Australia.

In 1976 Brabham competed at Bathurst in a Holden Torana with Stirling Moss. The Bathurst 1000 (currently officially known as the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000) is a touring car race held annually at Mount Panorama Circuit The Holden Torana was a car produced by General Motors - Holden (GM-H the Australian subsidiary of General Motors. Sir Stirling Craufurd Moss OBE (born September 17, 1929 in London) is a retired racing driver from England. Although the car was crash-damaged on the starting grid, it was repaired, and luckily - survives as a museumpiece to this day.

Brabham was named Australian Man of the Year in 1966, and the Queen awarded him Order of the British Empire in 1967, and appointed him a Knight Bachelor in 1979. The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire is a British Order of chivalry established on 4 June 1917 by King George V. The rank of Knight Bachelor is a part of the British honours system.

All three of Brabham's sons - Geoff, Gary and David - are also engaged in racing careers. Geoff Brabham (born March 20 1952) is an Australian racing driver Gary Brabham (born March 29 1961 in Wimbledon, London) is a former professional racing driver from Australia. David Brabham (born 5 September 1965 in Wimbledon, London) is an Australian former Formula One driver who raced for the Brabham

He was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1990. The International Motorsports Hall of Fame is a Hall of Fame dedicated to enshrining those who have contributed the most to Auto racing either as a driver owner

In 1998, Sir Jack Brabham returned to the old Nürburgring to race a VW New Beetle 1. The Nürburgring, known as simply " The Ring " by enthusiasts is a Motorsport Race track in Nürburg, Germany. The Volkswagen New Beetle is a small family car introduced by Volkswagen in 1998 drawing heavy inspiration from the design cues of the original Beetle 8T in the 6 Hours VLN with Ross Palmer and Melinda Price, scoring the fastest lap among the 3 drivers with over 134 km/h in average. Brabham said he returned to the Ring for the first time since 1970, and was surprised about the changes in safety - and the sunshine.

Brabham was honoured, along with featured marque Cooper, at the 2006 Monterey Historic Automobile Races. The Cooper Car Company was founded in 1946 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper. [4]

In January 2008, Brabham was named as an officer in the Order of Australia on Australia Day for services to motorsport. [5]

Business

Before setting up his own race team, Brabham had already established his own car dealership, Jack Brabham Motors, in London. In the early 1960s it also offered engine conversions for Triumph Heralds and BMC MG Midget / Austin-Healey Sprite by transplanting Coventry Climax FWE engines. The Triumph Herald was a small two-door car introduced in 1959 by the Standard-Triumph Company of Coventry. The MG Midget is a small Sports car produced by MG division of the British Motor Corporation from 1961 through to 1979 Austin-Healey is a defunct British sports car maker The marque was established through a joint venture arrangement set up in 1952 between Leonard Lord Coventry Climax was a British forklift truck, fire pump and speciality Engine manufacturer
