Formula 1: Sir Jack Brabham, 3 time World Champion, passes away at 88

Three-time Formula 1 World Champion race car driver and, to date, the only person to win the driver's championship driving his own car, passed away on Monday, May 19, 2014 in his home in Sydney, Australia.

See story here.

I enjoy watching so many Brabham race cars out on the historic / vintage motor racing circuit.  The cars are lovely, and amateur owner/racers who drive them have such a good time.

Of his many legacies, that is the one that I can relate to most.

RIP, Sir Jack.
