Can anyone tell me the name of a designer at Brabham, Motor Racing Developments, at or about the time when Jack was gone and Ron sold to Bernie E.
Geoff Ferris is often listed as the designer of the last few Branham customer cars, built under Ecclestones ownership, the only production Brabham monocoque chassis, the BT38 in F2, F3 and F Atlantic or FB trim followed up by the BT40 in F2 and F Atlantic/FB spec as well as the BT41 for F3 and several ran over here with Cosworth 1,100 cc BDJ motors.
I well remember Geoff Ferris is credited for both but in the back of my head is he did the BT38 range but another designer was really responsible for the BT40 and 41, which had similarities to the BT38 range but were substantially different in important areas.
I think it was a guy who went on to design many other racers, maybe even Indy cars, but I simply can't dredge up the name.
Actually I am all but sure the man I am thinking of became an Indy car designer of some renown, maybe doing cars for March or Lola or Penske in the mid 1970's.
Any help appreciated......I will recognize the name as soon as I see it.
