British Grand Prix 1966 - Race Schedule and Countdown

Jack Brabham dominated the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, leading home teammate Denny Hulme for a perfect Brabham-Repco one-two finish. The team owner's commanding performance on the Kent circuit demonstrated the BT19's competitive advantage, with both cars comfortably ahead of the opposition. Brabham's back-to-back victories established him as the championship favorite and showcased the team's technical excellence.

Graham Hill salvaged third place for BRM, unable to challenge the Brabham dominance. Jim Clark struggled with Lotus's troublesome BRM H16 engine, highlighting how the new regulations had completely reshuffled the competitive order. Brabham's one-two finish marked a watershed moment, confirming that the simple, reliable Repco engine strategy was superior to rivals' more complex and powerful but unreliable alternatives. At age 40, Brabham was mounting an unexpected championship challenge and demonstrating that experience could overcome youth and raw speed.
