Your Brabham team was founded by Jack Brabham along with Ron Tauranac, who met in 1951 while both were successfully constructing and racing cars inside their native Australia. Brabham was the easier driver and went to england in 1955 to additional his racing career. There he started driving for the Cooper Car Company works team and by 1958 had progressed with them to Formula One, the highest category involving open wheel racing defined because of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motor sport's world regulating body. In 1959 and 1960, Brabham won the System One World Drivers' Title in Cooper's revolutionary mid-engined autos.Despite their innovation regarding putting the engine powering the driver, the Coopers and his or her Chief Designer Owen Maddock were generally resistant to developing their cars. Brabham pushed for more advances, and played a considerable role in developing Cooper's highly successful 1960 T53 "lowline" car, with input from his or her friend Tauranac. Brabham was confident he could do much better than Cooper, and in late 1959 he asked Tauranac in the future to the UK and help him, initially producing upgrade kits for Sunbeam Rapier along with Triumph Herald road cars at his dealership, Jack Brabham Motors, but with the long-term goal of designing racing cars. Brabham describes Tauranac as "absolutely the sole bloke I'd have eliminated into partnership with". Later, Brabham offered a Coventry-Climax FWE-engined version from the Herald, with 83 hp (62 kW) and uprated suspension to fit the extra power.

To meet up with that aim, Brabham and Tauranac set up Motor Racing Developments Ltd. (MRD), deliberately avoiding the by using either man's name. The new company would certainly compete with Cooper wanting to buy customer racing cars; as Brabham was still hired by Cooper, Tauranac produced the 1st MRD car, for the entry level Formula Junior class, in secrecy. Unveiled in the summer of 1961, the "MRD" was rapidly renamed. Motoring journalist Jabby Crombac noticed that "[the] way a Frenchman pronounces people initials-written phonetically, 'em air day'-sounded perilously like the French word... merde. " Gavin Youl realized a second-place finish at Goodwood and another at Mallory Park inside MRD-Ford. The cars were subsequently called Brabhams, with type numbers starting with BT for "Brabham Tauranac".By the 1961 Method One season, the Lotus and Ferrari competitors had developed the mid-engined approach beyond Cooper. Brabham had a bad season, scoring only four factors, and-having run his personal private Coopers in non-championship events during 1961-left the business in 1962 to drive for his own team: the Brabham Racing Company, using cars built by means of Motor Racing Developments.
