Brabham BT16

The Brabham BT16 was a Formula Two racing car built in 1965 by Motor Racing Developments, the British company behind the Brabham Formula One team. It followed the BT10 of 1964 as the company's Formula Two production car, and fewer examples were built than of the BT10. Twelve BT16 cars were built, and a further 21 Formula Three cars built to Formula Two specification as BT16As shared their numbering system. One BT16 was raced by Graham Hill for John Coombs Racing with a one-litre BRM engine through 1965 and 1966, and was later modified with a 2.5-litre Coventry Climax engine so that Frank Gardner could race it in the Tasman Series in Australia. The BT15 Formula Three car was described by the researchers at oldracingcars.com as very similar to the BT14 and BT16.
