The Brabham BT50 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray and powered by a turbo BMW engine. The Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, raced it during the 1982 Formula One season with Nelson Piquet and Riccardo Patrese. It debuted at the South African Grand Prix and was then withdrawn to develop its engine while the team went back to the BT49. After its return Piquet finished fifth in the Belgian Grand Prix and later won the Canadian Grand Prix. Brabham also tried mid-race refuelling that season so its drivers could start light, although the car's poor reliability left few chances to show the strategy. Despite that unreliability it was fast, taking one pole and three fastest laps.
