Good-bye, Mr Brabham
Not a ‘Mr’, but a ‘Sir’, of course: three-time world champion Sir Jack Brabham dies in his sleep. One of the best obituaries comes from Autocar:
The photo was taken by great automotive photographer, Richard Gunn, in 2004: it shows Stirling Moss bidding good luck to Jack Brabham, on his way to race at Goodwood Revival. As Sir Stirling said… “most of the drivers, once you’d passed them you can forget about them, but Sir Jack – you never knew. He was always there, hunting along. He was competitive… he wanted to win.”
