The Brabham BT23 was a formula racing car built by Brabham in 1967. It was designed as a Formula 2 car and most were used in that series, though there was also a Tasman version and some were converted for Formula One by private drivers. It had a tubular space-frame chassis and a Ford-Cosworth FVA four-cylinder in-line engine of 1,598 cc giving 200 to 220 bhp, driving the rear wheels through a Hewland five-speed gearbox, with double wishbone front suspension and four disc brakes. Jochen Rindt dominated the 1967 and 1968 Formula 2 seasons with it, winning nine of the 15 races in 1967, and drivers such as Derek Bell, Piers Courage and Peter Gethin also raced it.
