Brabham BT46

Automobiles

The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. It had radical features such as flat panel heat exchangers in place of conventional radiators, which were dropped before its debut, and it raced with modified nose-mounted radiators and a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson. It won one race in that form and helped Brabham to third in the Constructors Championship. Its BT46B fan car variant, introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix to counter the Lotus 79, used a fan to generate immense downforce; Lauda won the only race it contested, and Brabham then withdrew it.
