Title: Jack Brabham - Another of the Greats gone...
Post by: mgmark on May 19, 2014, 01:50:00 pm

A glass to be raised in memory of another of the all-time motorsport greats who has now gone to the grid in the sky.  Still the only man to have won the F1 world championship in his own car. 

Thoughts with his family and friends. RIP Black Jack.

Another great loss, but no one goes on forever and he had a better run than many of the generations around him.  A toast in memory of will be offered, RIP Black Jack.

Sad to see the passing of a titan of the sport.  His F1 career spanned the days of Fangio, Moss, and Hawthorn, to the era of Stewart, Rindt, and Ickx.
Triple world champ, and when he and John Cooper took their little "Funny Car" to Indy in 1961, it turned the US racing scene on its head the way they had in Europe.
