Historical Context
The Cooper T51 , with its revolutionary rear-mid engine design, was a groundbreaking car in Formula 1 history. Jack Brabham’s victory at the British GP was one of several strong finishes that season, culminating in him winning the 1959 World Championship, the first time a driver had won the title in a rear-engined car. The car at the British GP was powered by a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder Coventry-Climax engine.
