The Man Behind One of F1's Most Legendary Names

As a mechanic and engineer, Jack Brabham brought ideas to the forefront of automotive construction that would have a lasting effect on the game. And as a race car driver, he brought a wild and unruly Australian flavor to the track - putting Oz on the racing map for decades to come. How did one Aussie from humble beginnings turn into an innovative racer, engineer, a three time Formula One World Champion AND get a suburb named after him? Today on Past Gas, we discuss racing legend Jack Brabham and how he got good at, well… everything.
