About Brabham-Ford

The Brabham-Ford combination saw Jack Brabham's team, and later Bernie Ecclestone's, make use of the ubiquitous Ford Cosworth DFV engine that dominated Formula 1 for well over a decade.

DFV power gave Brabham a competitive, reliable package, and the cars took race wins and regular points across several seasons. The pairing spanned the transition from the founder's ownership to the Ecclestone era and the arrival of designer Gordon Murray.

It was a dependable, race-winning chapter that kept Brabham among the established front-running teams of its time.

Legacy & Identity

Brabham-Ford represents the workmanlike, race-winning backbone of the team's middle years, when the DFV gave so many constructors a competitive footing. It kept the Brabham name at the sharp end and bridged the eras between the team's two championship-winning periods.
