Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
For the somewhat older sim racing fan, the Brabham brand is known as one of the most iconic names in Formula One. Now Brabham Branding has teamed up with Base Performance Simulators to launch a limited-edition of Brabham Motorsport racing themed simulators, celebrating three defining eras in the history of the Brabham name in Formula 1.
The Brabham name is synonymous with engineering and innovation, with Sir Jack Brabham setting new standards in Grand Prix racing during the late 1950s, first leading the Cooper brand to global success before establishing Brabham as a leading name in the sport in 1962. Jack’s third world title in 1966 made him the first, and to date only, driver in history to win the Formula 1 World Championship in a car of his own making.
The Base Performance Simulators company is situated in Banbury, Oxfordshire, UK just 20 minutes from the Silverstone track is owned by the famous British racing driver, Darren Turner. As a professional real-world Racing driver, Darin has a unique insight into the science of racing simulation, and that lead to BPS providing state-of-the-art simulator packages tailored to the needs of racing drivers.
Built on a specially-commissioned, rigid, powder-coated steel frame, the Brabham simulator boasts a carbon fiber, a two-pedal box with electric fore/aft adjustment, and a bespoke BPS carbon fiber race seat.
The Brabham Motorsport racing sim features the Precision Sim GPX Steering Wheel and runs a professional steering motor from Simucube. For sound and vision, it is supplied with a Cambridge Audio speaker system and Sennheiser headset plus a single 49” curved Samsung monitor with a 120hz refresh rate, which creates a fully immersive driving experience.
The sim runs Assetto Corsa software and is delivered with all the car and track models that are used in the full-size single-seater and GT simulators at BPS’ headquarters in Oxfordshire. Car models are constantly updated in-house with real data and validated by professional drivers. Track models are also regularly updated to keep up with the subtle changes to tracks, meaning that anyone using this simulator to prepare for their next real-world race is right up to date.
The Brabham Base Performance Simulators are available for £24,990.00 / €29.929.00 including VAT + Shipping.

BT19
The BT19 from 1966, is the car that Sir Jack Brabham raced to his third Formula 1 World Drivers’ Championship and Brabham’s first Constructors’ Championship.
It was a remarkable achievement because it made Jack Brabham the first and so far only driver to win the world championship in a car of his own construction.
The BT19 sim reflects the green and gold color scheme of this pioneering era.
BT46B
The BT46B, also known as the ‘Fan Car’, was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground-effect Lotus 79.
The design was so dominant, that after consultation with the sport’s governing body, the FIA, then-Brabham F1 team owner Bernie Ecclestone decided to withdraw the car from competition after just one race.
The BT46B sim brings the red, white, and blue of this iconic car back to life.
BT52
The BT52 was designed for the 1983 F1 season and took Nelson Piquet to his second world championship title at the height of Formula 1’s power-hungry turbo years.
What makes this car so remarkable is that Gordon Murray and the design team had only six weeks to design the car after the FIA banned ground-effect cars late in 1982, meaning that the planned BT51 could not be raced. Piquet made superb use of the mighty BMW-powered BT52, which boasted in excess of 1200bhp in qualifying trim, to defy the odds and score three victories on the way to the title.
The distinctive blue and white livery sets will make this sim the centrepiece of any area.
