In 1966
Jack Brabham created the Brabham BT19 powered by the lightweight, reliable Repco 3.0L V8 engine. Perfectly suited to the new Formula 1 regulations, this combination blended Brabham's driving expertise with innovative engineering. A car built by its champion, for its champion.
Continuing on 1966
