Brabham was one of only two Australians to race in an Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide, along with Alan Jones. Brabham completed his first Formula 1 season driving the BT59 in Adelaide, for the team founded by his father, three-time world champion Sir Jack Brabham.
The BT59 is powered by a Judd V8, driven by Brabham and Italian Stefano Modena over the course of the 1990 Formula 1 season. It will be first time the BT59 has appeared at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and the first time it has returned to Adelaide since 1990.
The 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival will once again feature various categories, ranging from Formula 1 cars, V8 Supercars, sportscars, touring cars, motorbikes and more with the action non-stop without a break in track activity at any stage of the day. Off track there will be car displays, kids' zones, bars and food trucks, exhibitors and traders, activations and more, in a picnic in the park setting.
Tickets are on sale now with weekend tickets and single-day tickets available, in addition to tickets to the Toyota Gazoo Racing Garden and VIP Suite hospitality offerings.
