Did You Know? Anecdotes and Curiosities about our Miniatures

Who was the founder of the Brabham team and what was special about him?

Australian driver Jack Brabham founded the team in 1962. He remains the only driver in Formula 1 history to have won a world championship in a car bearing his own name, a feat achieved in 1966.

What was the revolutionary technical feature of the Brabham BT46B nicknamed 'Fan Car'?

The BT46B was equipped with a giant fan at the rear that sucked air under the car, creating an extreme ground effect. This innovation allowed Niki Lauda to achieve his only victory with this car in Sweden in 1978, before the FIA banned this system.

Why did 1980s Brabhams often sport bright, original liveries?

Bernie Ecclestone, Brabham's owner at the time, was a pioneer in F1 marketing. Colorful liveries like Parmalat blue and white or Benetton green were the result of innovative commercial partnerships that helped modernize Formula 1's image.

Which Brazilian driver made history for Brabham in the mid-1980s?

Nelson Piquet won two of his three world titles with Brabham (1981 and 1983). The Brazilian driver was particularly appreciated for his ability to extract the maximum power from sometimes difficult-to-drive cars, especially the turbocharged Brabham-BMWs.

Which Brabham aerodynamic innovation inspired the entire Formula 1 grid?

Brabham was the first team to systematically use the wind tunnel to develop its cars, back in the mid-1970s. This scientific approach to aerodynamics, pioneered by Gordon Murray, has become the standard for all modern F1 teams.
