The Brabham BT44 was a Formula One racing car designed by Brabham’s chief designer Gordon Murray. The BT44 was an update of the partially successful 1973 BT42. The BT44 was considered to be a precursor to ground effects aerodynamics.

In 1975, the iconic Martini sponsored Brabham BT44 was modified and won the Brazilian and German Grand Prix. After a series of strong finishes, Carlos Reutemann finished third in the drivers’ championship. The 1975 Brabham BT44 was believed to be a very good car, but couldn’t match the performance of the McLaren M23 or the Ferrari 312T.
