Video: Jack Brabham Documentary

Submitted by on July 27, 20115 Comments

When We Were Racers is about a legend of motor sport, Jack Brabham. Originally broadcast on the ABC in 2009 , Jack tells his stirring story with the help of other motor racing icons Sir Stirling Moss, Alan Jones and Murray Walker.

Now 85, Sir Jack remains a modest hero with surprisingly little recognition in his own country. “Black Jack” remains the only driver to win a world title in a car of his own construction. He won 14 Grand Prix and three world championships in a career that spanned 15 years.

    Jack Brabham is one of the greatest drivers of all time, an outstanding innovator and creator, a second to none fighter , a racer to the core and a modest man too…
    Jack’s final quote: “The big aim now is to die without an enemy in the world… I’m going to outlive the bastards!” What a tiger…

    That was great.
    How true is it that this great man is not recognised.

    Great to see some film of Phil Irving working on the Repco race motor.
