Brabham BT19

Automobiles

The Brabham BT19 was a Formula One racing car designed by Ron Tauranac for the British Brabham team. It competed in the 1966 and 1967 Formula One World Championships and Jack Brabham used it to win his third World Championship in 1966. Brabham called it his Old Nail, and it was the first car bearing its driver's name to win a World Championship race. It was first conceived in 1965 for a 1.5 litre Coventry Climax engine but never raced in that form. When the FIA doubled the engine limit to 3 litres for 1966, the Australian company Repco developed a new V8 engine for Brabham, and the existing chassis was modified to take it. Only one BT19 was built. Repco bought it in 2004 and it went on display at the National Sports Museum in Melbourne in 2008.
