Brabham upset over use of their name
ISTANBUL: Sir Jack Brabham and his family on Thursday issued a statement making clear they had nothing to do with a proposed new Formula One team that has lodged an entry for the 2010 championship.
And the family threatened to take legal action after discovering that their name was being used by Brabham Grand Prix without any prior consultation.
“Sir Jack Brabham and the Brabham family have expressed their surprise at the recent news reporting that an entry has been submitted for the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship by Formtech, with the intention of operating as Brabham Grand Prix Limited.
“The family would like to make it clear that they are in no way involved with Brabham Grand Prix Limited and received no consultation regarding the company’s plans to resurrect their historic name in Formula One.
“The family is taking legal advice and will take necessary steps to protect their name and reputation.”
