J.B.
So another Australian legend is gone, Jack Brabham has died. There's not another on this earth that I know of who can claim to have won a Formula One
Championship in a car he designed and built himself. A great Australian.
RIP
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Sad news, indeed.
At the official opening of Wakefield Park race track, I had the un-forgetable pleasure of driving Sir Jack Brabham around for the opening laps. A
truly great Australian.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Such a terrible loss. He was a true pioneer and a legend to the motorsport & automotive communities. That will never change. Rest In Peace Sir
Jack.
