Brabham BT3

The Brabham BT3 was a Formula One racing car, the first Formula One design produced by Motor Racing Developments for the Brabham Racing Organisation. It debuted at the 1962 German Grand Prix, and Jack Brabham became the first driver to score World Championship points in a car bearing his own name when he drove it at the 1962 United States Grand Prix. In 1963 he also won the Solitude Grand Prix in it. Ron Tauranac gave it a stiff steel-tube spaceframe chassis under a fibreglass body, with a Coventry Climax FWMV V8 engine behind the driver. Its fragile Colotti six-speed gearbox was its weak point. Only one Formula One chassis was built, and the design was reused for the Tasman Series BT4 cars. The car still exists.
