Brabham BT54

Automobiles

The Brabham BT54 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team for the 1985 Formula One season. It was powered by the BMW M12 four-cylinder turbo engine, generally agreed to be the most powerful in Formula One at the time, and used Pirelli tyres. Like its predecessors it carried most of its weight towards the rear, and after FISA banned rear wing winglets, Murray put small wings on the outer rear edges of the sidepods. The car proved competitive but unsuccessful in the hands of the two-time world champion Nelson Piquet, because the Pirelli tyres, which Bernie Ecclestone chose when Michelin left, were far worse than the Goodyear tyres of McLaren, Lotus, Ferrari and Williams.
