1978, Brabham aimed to reignite their championship ambitions and catch Mario Andretti's Lotus 79 by amending their BT46 in a radical way. In this video we look at one of Gordon Murray and Formula 1's greatest technical innovations: the fan car.

    • @TheFormula2023
      @TheFormula2023 7 місяців тому

      I'm certainly not finished with 1982: the FISA/FOCA war and the Gilles/Pironi relationship are definitely stories I'm interested in - and it seems so are other people. I'm making a video about something else at the moment but I'm sure I'll come back to those topics soon enough.

  • @Mclarenboy100
    @Mclarenboy100 7 місяців тому

    Great video. And honestly? The strike made sure that their negotiations worked. FISA and FOCA panicked without most of the field showing up. Drivers needed some control over their careers, otherwise they could be traded to random teams, or stuck in a terrible working environment, without the right to drive again should they up and leave. To have no cars on track was probably the best way it could've worked.

    I can’t believe Oliver was that stupid as to openly threaten them like that. What a fool. Lauda and Pironi were quite right to raise their objections because the implications of signing were horrific for a driver’s career, though today we essentially have a system like this more or less by default. But it means that, unlike the way things were back then, today’s drivers are no longer able to race in other categories. If I’d been them, I wouldn’t have signed either. And incidentally, before everyone starts moaning about the FIA, FOCA showed themselves to be every bit as toxic, if not worse.

      ⁠@@TheFormula2023The 126C2, especially that later version with the pull rod front end was one of the great F1 cars but almost nobody knows about it. In a season where the team scored only one point from the first three races, missed the fifth race altogether because of Villeneuve’s fatal crash, missed the Swiss Grand Prix, ran six races with only one car and finished the season with a totally different driver lineup from what they started with, the fact that they still won the Constructors Championship was an phenomenal achievement. In Italy, then 42 year-old Mario Andretti, who had not driven in F1 for two years, put the car on pole. Pironi was stiff not to actually win the driver’s championship but missing the last five races made it pretty likely he would be overtaken. The 126C2 is a pretty under appreciated car. Just a thought bubble…

    You can see the 18's influence on later championship winning cars. It had such a big impact on design of the later championships for Mclaren and Red Bull with it's blown diffuser. Sometimes you need to push the limits of technology and this one was out of the envelope with the current understanding at the time and physical techincal limits. Although it's a dud on paper it's much more important than that.
