High Class Racing will run the new Brabham BT63 GT2 Concept in Fanatec GT2 European Championship season finale next weekend with drivers David Brabham and Dennis Andersen.
The Danish team currently leads the Fanatec GT2 European Championship Pro-Am series with 4 wins, 6 podiums, 2 Pole Position and 7 fastest laps to date for their Anders Fjordbach/ Mark Patterson driven Audi and now will run the Brabham BT63 GT2 Concept working together with Brabham Automotive as an additional entry in the season-finale race at the Circuit Paul Ricard, in France, from 1-3 October 2021.
David Brabham: “This represents a significant milestone in the growth of Brabham Automotive, similar to the win-on-debut of the Brabham BT62 when I crossed the finish line at Brands Hatch in 2019.
The Fanatec GT2 European Series run by SRO will pose a wonderful test against some serious competition, a challenge we look forward to. We look forward to working with High Class Racing, and I look forward to driving with Dennis Andersen at this historic event for Brabham Automotive”.
Dennis Andersen: “I am very happy to share this experience with a legend like David. It will be my return to GT, a category I last raced in 2016, and I’m really looking forward to it.
“This event will be very important, not only for Brabham, as they are making their official debut in this category with the aim of racing the full season in 2022, but also to my teammates and friends, Anders and Mark, as they are fighting for the title. We will do our best to help them to achieve their
goal.
“Personally, I’m hoping to get used to the car quickly so that I can enjoy every session, and we’ll try to achieve the best possible results”.
The Brabham BT63 GT2 Concept is an evolution Brabham BT62 and BT62R designed to comply with the regulations and performance window appropriate for SRO’s GT2 classification. The first outing at Paul Ricard will allow both Brabham and SRO to assess the car, and to determine how and whether the BT63 should be modified to be accepted into full GT2 competition.
The BT63 GT2 Concept uses a 5.2 litre, naturally aspirated Brabham V8 engine.
The Aero package on the Brabham BT63 GT2 Concept is modelled on the BT62R, with a re-designed front splitter, rear diffuser and wing that reduce drag and focus more on top speed. The body is lightweight carbon fibre draped over a Chromoly subframe incorporating an FIA compliant safety cell.
Suspension is fully adjustable double-wishbone while braking is provided by grooved and ventilated, competition-grade, Brembo steel brakes.
Brabham Automotive aims to join the four existing manufacturers (Audi, Porsche, KTM and Lamborghini.)
