Brabham supercar future on hold as partnership splits

Brabham made all the right noises – chiefly loud V8 ones – with its comeback to the motoring stage, launching its superb BT62 in 2018. But the future for the company is now up in the air after the partners behind it split.

Brabham Automotive, which produced both the BT62 and BT63 track cars, was formed through a partnership between David Brabham’s Brabham Group Limited and Fusion Capital. Now those parties have opted to end their dealings, effectively ending hopes of a full works sports car comeback. The BT62/63s raced in customer hands in categories such as the GT Cup, Britcar and GT2 European Series, but ideas of a Le Mans outing now appear dead.

David Brabham said: “The collaboration helped evolve Brabham to a new and exciting future. With the brand licence for automotive ending, it opens doors for future business ventures in motor sport, automotive and heritage. I want to thank all those who contributed to the project over the years.”
