End of the road for the Brabham BT62. With the season just underway yet another engine failure brings the program to a halt. SBR announce their withdrawal of the car for racing in the UK for 2022 season.
Our GT Cup season should of been campaigned in the Brabham BT62, but due to unreliability issues it was not able to do the first rounds of GT Cup. We had to use last years Ferrari 488 Challenge car to start the Championship whilst the Brabham was being worked on.
A race season that should have seen us campaign the Brabham BT62 took a decided turn when the car suffered another engine failure! The team was fortunate enough to have the owner drive, Paul Bailey's, very special Mclaren MP4 Can Am car at our workshop. The team managed to get the car to the circuit and prepped and ready to race to stand in for the stricken Brabaham.
Here at SBR Engineering we were honoured to be given the task of recommissioning this totally original GT40. This car (Chassis GT40 P/1001) is a "production" GT40, and was the New York motor show car in 1966. Chassis GT40 P/1000 was the first car made, but was destroyed in testing, so Chassis P/1001 was flown from New York to Ford Advanced Vehicles in Europe, and was prepared to race in the Le Mans 24Hr that year.
Successive class wins for the SBR Brabham BT62! After the dramas of the last round of GT cup we managed to repair the Brabham in time for the next round. Oulton Park was the second meeting the Brabham, driven Paul and pro Ross Wylie, was campaigned securing successive class wins in Round 4 of the British GT Cup championship last weekend.
The SBR Brabham BT62 makes it Debut at Snetterton Circuit in the UK and wins! Owner and Driver Paul Bailey, and Pro driver Ross Wylie, experienced both the joy and the pain of racing in the Brabham BT62 Competition over the weekend in British GT Cup. Snetterton Circuit hosted round three of the GT Cup Championship. Due to unforeseen circumstances this was to be the first outing for Paul's Brabham BT62 and finally marked the first customer racing a BT62 in competition in the world.
The 2020 race season didn't quite plan for many, Including us at SBR, due to the global epidemic. Due to these circumstances the new Brabham BT62 that SBR were going to campaign for its owner, Paul Bailey, was not ready for the start of the season. The team were hoping to use the car after the first round of Britcar. We hope to have the BT62 out for the Spa Francorchamps non championship round.
The 2020 race season for our team didn't quite [...]
The Brabham BT62 will contest its first full-season of racing [...]
The last round or the 2019 Britcar championship saw the title decided! The SB Race engineering 488 dominated its class all season and took the overall championship at a very rainy Brands Hatch.
