Last week, a joint announcement from the entity entrusted with looking after the Brabham name, Brabham Group Limited, and its funding partner, Fusion Capital, made public that the collaboration between the two has officially come to an end. Made famous by Aussie F1 champ Sir Jack Brabham, the name itself will never die, but any chance of seeing a new car produced with the Brabham name upon it will only come in the distant future, if ever. After six years of working together, Fusion Capital and Sir Jack’s son, David (himself a Le Mans winner), parted ways.
The only explanation for the dissolution of this marriage was that “the strategic direction of both groups did not align,” and that’s a real pity considering the promise shown by the pair after announcing the BT62 supercar in 2018.
We wanted a little more detail on what the future holds for Brabham and reached out, receiving answers to our questions over the weekend from David.
