(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright)
LONDON, December 14. The Brabham grand prix motor racing team, formed by Australia’s former world motor - racing champion, Jack Brabham, was expanding next season, the “Daily Telegraph” reported. Denis Hulme, aged 28, from New Zealand, who drove formula 2 Brabhams this season, would join the works formula one team, the newspaper said.
Dan Gurney, who won the French and Mexican world championships in a Brabham, would again be the number one driver. Brabham himself would continue to drive in most of the grand prix events. The team would eventually have five formula one grand prix cars, the “Daily Telegraph” said. Three would be powered by Coventry Climax V 8 engines while two others were being built to take the new 16-cylinder Coventry Climax engine still being developed. The newspaper said Brabham and Hulme also would take part in a full programme of formula 2 races, and in some sports car events. They would drive new Repco-Brab-ham formula 2 cars similar to those with which they dominated the 1964 season.
