Jack Brabham Raced Midgets and is probably the only world F1 champion besides Mario who did. In the 50s there was an attempt to get Indy Car and Formula 1 together. Indy was on the F1 schedule and Indy car ran some exhibition races with F1 in Europe. Roger Ward won the Indy 500 twice and was very interested in getting Indy and F1 together. Roger was also a famous midget driver. He drove a midget in the first two US Grand Prix’s and was one of the few Indy car drivers who wanted to road race. When Lime Rock opened He won an open completion race in a midget. Jack Brabham and Roger Ward were friends and Roger invited Jack to bring a F1 car to Indy for a test. Jack brought a Cooper F1 car he had been racing in Australia to Indy, and most of the Indy car community knew after that test it was only a matter of time before everyone would be in rear engine cars. Jack won the F1 title in 1966 and his cars won in 1966 and 1967. That will never be repeated.
