30 May 2018|2,540 views
In an exclusive video released, the BT62 is seen lapping Australia's Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit at incredible speeds during its extensive pre-launch testing programme, with Managing Director and multiple Le Mans winner, David Brabham, behind the wheel.
More than two years in development, David Brabham has led a team of test drivers to assess and validate the BT62's performance, honing its handling characteristics to deliver a car that performs and rewards like no other.
To achieve its extreme cornering speeds and help translate its power into pace, the BT62 employs componentry from some of motorsport's finest, including competition slick tyres from Brabham Automotive's official tyre supplier and technical partner, Michelin.
The chassis is optimised utilising pushrod-actuated adjustable Ohlins dampers with coilover springs, and an adjustable motorsport traction control system. The BT62's immense stopping power comes from bespoke Brembo carbon on carbon brakes for optimal performance, lap after lap, with the unique addition of motorsport ABS.
The car's phenomenal mechanical grip is further enhanced by the BT62's intricate and lightweight carbon fibre body, which has been designed and shaped to maximise aerodynamic efficiency, manipulating the air flow around the car to generate 1,200kg of downforce.
