@turnfourracing: The F1 car that won once… and was banned forever. In 1978, Brabham showed up to the Swedish Grand Prix with something to compete with the dominant Lotus 79: a Formula 1 car with a giant fan on the back. Officially, it was “for cooling.” Unofficially? It sucked the car to the ground, creating massive downforce that no one could touch. The BT46B, designed by Gordon Murray and driven by Niki Lauda, dominated the race — winning by over 30 seconds. It only ran once. Other teams protested. The FIA panicked. Brabham quietly withdrew the car to avoid a war. It was one of the most brilliant and controversial pieces of engineering in F1 history. And it worked. 🎥 Footage credit: YouTube/@pfirsicheisen Follow @TurnFourRacing for more wild racing history 🏁 #f#f1f#formula1b#brabhamf#fanCarm#motorsportr#racinglegendsf#f1historyf#f1engineeringf#formulacarsr#racecarr#racehistoryt#tiktokcarst#turnfourracingv#vintagef1c#carsoftiktokc#carvideor#racingtiktokc#classicf1g#gordonmurrayn#nikkilaudaf#f1techf#f1fansf#f1editsc#carreelsr#racingreelsf#f1reelsf#f1tiktokh#historicf1g#grandprixf1racing
