Jack Brabham in the BT19 leads John Surtees\u2019 Cooper in 1966<\/p>\nThe Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit will roar to life on the Thursday of the Australian Grand Prix with the unmistakable sound of a V10 engine.<\/p>\n
In its striking green and white livery, the 2001 Jaguar-Cosworth R2 will take to the track with its iconic, high-pitched engine note.<\/p>\n
In addition to the Jaguar demonstration, up to 50 cars will make their way around Albert Park to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Sir Jack Brabham\u2019s last Formula 1 world drivers\u2019 championship win.<\/p>\n
The demonstration will feature cars from Brabham\u2019s entire F1 career, spanning 1955 to 1970, during which the Australian icon won three world drivers\u2019 championship titles.<\/p>\n

Aside from the on-track activity, a Thursday exclusive will feature a historic Australian Motorsport Hall of Fame ceremony, featuring six new inductees.<\/p>\n
In a first for the ceremony, the 1966 Repco-Brabham BT-19, with which Brabham won four consecutive Grands Prix en route to the world championship, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n
Among those driving the Brabham and Cooper Formula 1 machinery will be Sir Jack\u2019s son and grandson David and Sam.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year marks the 60th anniversary of our father\u2019s third Formula 1 world drivers\u2019 championship and first constructors\u2019 championship,\u201d said David Brabham.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt remains one of the most iconic moments in Formula 1 history, as Sir Jack is still the only person ever to win a world championship in a car of his own construction.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis celebration is especially meaningful to so many people in Australia, representing a remarkable achievement and a true David and Goliath story.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith 50 Brabham and Cooper cars on display, alongside on-track demonstrations with my son Sam and I driving, it promises to be an incredible spectacle.\u201d<\/p>\n
