Powered by the legendary Ford Cosworth DFV V8 engine, the BT42 combined innovative engineering, aerodynamic development, and impressive racing performance.

The History of the Brabham BT42

Designed by Gordon Murray, the Brabham BT42 was introduced for the 1973 Formula 1 season. Its distinctive triangular-shaped monocoque chassis represented an interesting approach to Formula 1 engineering, while its Ford Cosworth DFV 3.0-litre V8 engine provided the power and reliability required to compete at the highest level.

The 1973 German Grand Prix took place on August 5 at the demanding Nürburgring Nordschleife, one of the most challenging circuits in motorsport history. The 14-lap race was won by Jackie Stewart in a Tyrrell, with François Cevert finishing second and Jacky Ickx taking third.

Brabham entered several BT42 cars for the event. Wilson Fittipaldi, driving car number 11, delivered an impressive performance, finishing fifth and earning two championship points. His teammate Rolf Stommelen, behind the wheel of car number 9 in the Ceramica Pagnossin livery, completed the race in eleventh position.

The German Grand Prix represented another important chapter in Brabham's 1973 campaign, demonstrating the competitiveness of the BT42 and the team's ability to challenge established Formula 1 manufacturers.
