Brabham Group Limited and Fusion Capital have officially ended their six-year collaboration, marking a significant shift in the industry of high-performance automotive engineering. This partnership, responsible for the creation and worldwide distribution of Brabham vehicles, represented a union of heritage and innovation, leveraging the renowned Brabham name in the automotive industry.
During its partnership, the two companies achieved notable successes, including the global launch of the Brabham BT62 high-performance track car in 2018. The event, held at Australia House London, was attended by media, former Brabham F1 drivers, and VIP guests, showcasing the BT62’s prowess. The BT62, along with its successor the BT63, set lap records at iconic tracks like Bathurst Mount Panorama and Phillip Island, and secured pole positions and race victories in Europe, solidifying its status in the high-performance vehicle sector.
David Brabham, Director of Brabham Group Limited, expressed both regret and gratitude for the partnership with Fusion Capital, emphasizing the significant progress made for the ‘Brabham’ brand. With the automotive brand license now concluded, Brabham looks forward to exploring new avenues in Motorsport, Automotive, and Heritage sectors. Mat Fitch, Chairman of Fusion Capital, reflected on the strategic misalignments that led to the partnership’s end, while highlighting the family’s long-standing investment in automotive and manufacturing. Fitch remains optimistic about challenging mainstream OEMs and harnessing powertrains for future projects. As this chapter closes, Brabham Group Limited and Fusion Capital are poised to embark on separate but equally ambitious paths in the ever-evolving automotive industry.
