Historical Significance of the Car
The original Brabham BT19, which Jack Brabham nicknamed his “Old Nail”, holds a unique place in F1 history.
It was the first and only car bearing its driver’s name to win the Formula 1 World Championship (both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ titles).
The car was powered by a 3-litre Repco V8 engine developed in Australia, which was less powerful than its rivals but more reliable.
Brabham won four consecutive races (French, British, Dutch, and German Grands Prix) in the 1966 season with this car to secure his third championship title at the age of 40.
