Brabham family sues Brabham GP Ltd

Triple Formula One World Champion Sir Jack Brabham and the Brabham family today confirmed that it has been necessary to commence legal action against Brabham Grand Prix Limited following Formtech’s application to enter the FIA Formula One World Championship in 2010 in that name.

The Brabham family have made numerous approaches to Formtech with proposals to amicably resolve the situation. In the absence of any response from the team, the family has been left with no alternative but to issue the relevant proceedings to protect the family name, irrespective of whether Formtech is granted an entry by the FIA on Friday 12 June.

The Brabham name has always been the property of the family and it is sad that once again steps have to be taken to protect it.
