The Brabham BT26 was a Formula One racing car design, a development of the BT24. Ron Tauranac made it the final incarnation of his spaceframe Formula One car, combining the spaceframe with stressed aluminium panels to form a semi-monocoque so that he could use lighter tubing. Its more powerful Repco 860 series engine proved unreliable and the 1968 season was plagued by retirements, after which Jochen Rindt left for Lotus. For 1969 the Repco engines were replaced by Cosworth DFV engines in cars designated BT26A, and Jacky Ickx scored two wins and finished runner-up in the drivers championship while Brabham-Ford was runner-up in the constructors championship.
