Sir John Arthur "Jack" Brabham (April 1926-2014)

Image
A 3 times Formula One World Champion in 1959, 1960 and 1966. Still the only driver in history to win a world title in a car bearing his own name. Here are some pieces to pay tribute to Jack, including a print of him starting the 1967 Monaco Grand Prix, signed by him. A great champion and history maker. May he rest in peace.
