[Saba Sports News] Former F1 driver David Brabham will drive the Brabham BT59 car he used in the 1990 F1 Australian Grand Prix at the 2025 Repco Adelaide Motorsport Festival, which will be held from March 8 to 9 next year. This will be the first appearance of the BT59 at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and its return to Adelaide since 1990. Reports indicate that Brabham is the only Australian to have participated in the F1 Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide. At that time, David Brabham and Italian driver Stefano Modena were the main drivers for the Brabham F1 team, which was founded by his father, three-time F1 world champion Sir Jack Brabham. David Brabham joined the team in 1990 and made his F1 career debut driving the BT59 in Adelaide. Unfortunately, he retired from the race after 18 laps due to an accident, finishing last.
