We had earlier reported that Brabham Automotive is making a comeback with new road and track based cars. Now, the British company has announced that they are indeed coming up with a new car and it will be called BT62 with a launch set for on May 2. The new BT62 is based on the first Brabham BT7, which won a Formula 1 race, and BT19, which was the first car bearing its driver's name to win a World Championship. The BT52 was the first turbo-charged car to win a Formula 1 World Championship.
