Cooper Climax T53 - Jack Brabham Production Details History Jack Brabham was born in 1926 in Sydney, Australia. As triple world champion his name became synonymous with Grand Prix racing and in 1979 he was honoured as the first driver in history to be knighted for his services to motor sport. Brabham established himself in Australian racing before moving to Europe in 1955 where he began driving as a member of the Cooper ‘works’ team in 1957. It was a very successful partnership resulting in Brabham’s first two Formula One World Championship titles, in 1959 and 1960, while Cooper Climax won the Constructors title. Both years running. The spectacular 1960 World Championship was clinched on 14 August at Oporto in Portugal with 2 races of the season still remaining but Brabham, driving the revolutionary rear-engined T53, had achieved five straight victories in the season so far and was impossible to beat. The Cooper Climax T53 1960, as modeled by Scalextric, raced in the Portuguese GP with an in-line four 2462cc capacity engine with double overhead camshafts, a 5 speed gearbox with a dry 2 plate clutch. The chassis is a space-frame construction, with coil springs and cast magnesium alloy wheels.
