Brabham Automotive, led by 2009 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and former WEC competitor David Brabham, has announced its intention to enter the 2021/2022 FIA World Endurance Championship in the LMGTE Pro class.
The entry will be linked to the new Brabham Automotive BT62 track car and heralds the return of a legendary Australian name to competition. However, as David Brabham notes, there is much work to be done before Autumn 2021.
“Returning the Brabham name to Le Mans is something I have been working on for years, so it’s fantastic to make this announcement,” he said.
“Brabham Automotive only launched its first car, the BT62, in May 2018 so we have a long road to travel to earn the right to return to compete at Le Mans.
“That work starts now with a long-term racing commitment. We look forward to developing the BT62 and future products while building a world-class competitive race team around the leading engineering and manufacturing talent we have in the business.”
