Brabham BT48

Automobiles

The Brabham BT48 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray and raced by the Brabham team in the 1979 Formula One season. The team had planned to run the BT47, but the FIA outlawed it because it had a Chaparral 2J-type rear end with twin variable geometry fans to maximise ground effect, so Murray designed the BT48 instead. It made its debut at the 1979 Argentine Grand Prix with Niki Lauda driving, when it retired with a fuel system failure, and Nelson Piquet had a BT48 ready for the Brazilian Grand Prix. At the South African Grand Prix Lauda finished sixth and Piquet seventh, and the season was marked by many retirements.
