Brabham BT56

Automobiles

The Brabham BT56 was a Formula One car designed by John Baldwin and Sergio Rinland and raced by the Brabham team in the 1987 Formula One World Championship. Andrea de Cesaris, Riccardo Patrese and Stefano Modena drove it, and both de Cesaris and Patrese scored a third place. After the disappointing BT55, the team returned to a more conventional design, and it was the first Brabham not designed by Gordon Murray since the BT37. It was powered by a straight four turbocharged BMW engine on Goodyear tyres, and Brabham finished eighth in the 1987 Constructors Championship with 10 points. It was unreliable, with seven finishes in 16 races, and was the last turbocharged Brabham and the last designed while Bernie Ecclestone ran the team.
