Brabham BT55

Automobiles

The Brabham BT55 was a Formula One racing car designed by Gordon Murray and David North for the Brabham team owned by Bernie Ecclestone. It used a BMW four-cylinder turbocharged engine tilted over on its side to give a clear supply of air to the rear wing, and it competed during the 1986 Formula One season. By 1985 Brabham had reached the limit of aerodynamic development of its BT52, BT53 and BT54 series, when the car won only one race, in France with Nelson Piquet, and Murray decided a radical approach was needed. The car was not successful, and its introduction coincided with the end of Brabham's time as a competitive team.
