Founded in 1962 by 3-time champion Jack Brabham and designer Ron Tauranac as Motor Racing Developments, Brabham competed for 30 years across 394 Grand Prix starts. It is tied with Renault and Cooper on 2 Constructors' Championships, and leads both on overall F1 hardware with 35 Grand Prix wins and 4 Drivers' titles. When 3-litre engine rules arrived in 1966, Brabham paired Repco V8s with its spaceframe chassis to win consecutive Constructors' titles in 1966 and 1967. Jack Brabham's 1966 crown remains the only F1 Drivers' Championship won in a car bearing the driver's own name, followed by teammate Denny Hulme in 1967. Under later owner Bernie Ecclestone and designer Gordon Murray, Nelson Piquet added Drivers' titles in 1981 and 1983 (the first title with a turbocharged engine) before the team folded in 1992.
