The legend of Jack Brabham
May 24th 2008 14:39
I have read Jack Brabham's autobiography many times over and every time I open the book I'm always facinated by how a young man growing up in the suburbs of Sydney could become one of the greatest racing drivers of all time.
It is truly an amazing, inspiring story, and a must read for anyone who believes, or wants to believe in the power that we each have inside ourselves.
Brabham won the F1 world title 3 times in 1959, 1960 and 1966. He is Australia's greatest racing driver ever in my book. Forget about the likes of Brock, Johnson or Lowdnes, Jack Brabham is the man.
It is a real shame that my generation have no knowledge of the great man and his accomplishments because the part he played in building the motor racing world was vital and should be recognised. The man is hero to Australian and world motorsport and deserves recognition as being such.
So anyway, sit back and enjoy this exhibition race between Brabham and Fangio in 1978.
