It's time to confirm another special theme for the 2026 edition of the Oulton Park Gold Cup 🏆
The dedicated commemoration comes during a special year for the Brabham name. The 2026 season marks not only the 60th anniversary of Brabham’s unique World Championship victory in a car bearing his own name, but also 100 years since the Australian Grand Prix icon was born.
David Brabham said: “Oulton Park is a very appropriate venue to mark an important year for Brabham. It is 60 years since my father’s third Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship and the Constructors’ title, and this also falls in what would have been Jack’s centenary year.
“The circuit holds particular significance as Jack raced and won the Oulton Park Gold Cup 60 years ago in his championship-winning Repco Brabham BT19. He remains the only driver in Formula 1 history to win a World Championship in a car of his own construction, an extraordinary achievement made possible through his partnership with Ron Tauranac, whose engineering contribution was fundamental to Brabham’s success.
“Having the HGPCA racing as part of the Gold Cup weekend adds to the historical importance, and I’m looking forward to meeting fans at the Brabham marquee for the Bank Holiday Monday Q&A. I would also like to thank MSV, as owners of Oulton Park, for their support in helping make this celebration of Brabham history possible.”
