After months of hard work to get the language and messaging absolutely right, the investor prospectus is now complete and already being sent out to interested parties. David explains why that was a lengthy but vital process while we defined exactly who we are and how we are going to take this game changing programme to market.

With the all-important investor prospectus complete and the first stage Brabham-Digital website now live, giving our growing community unrivalled behind-the-scenes access while we rebuild the house that Jack built, we have now completed the two key objectives laid out in our crowdfunding campaign. Within two or three months we’ll know if our concept is an attractive one to investors…. we’re confident it will be!

Further updates include the latest on specific partner and investor working while David also reflects on the sad passing of his father, Sir Jack, one year on and talks about the long-lasting inspiration the triple Formula 1 World Champion leaves behind.

Already one of the fastest growing campaigns on Indiegogo, motorsport enthusiasts from 58 countries have already backed Project Brabham, proving the desire to see Brabham Racing return as a world-class team with openness and transparency at its core.

The Project Brabham crowdfunding total continues to climb and edge ever closer to reaching its first target of £250,000 which, once hit, will ensure the front-end of the new Brabham-Digital portal can be delivered, enabling fans to watch and contribute to the team’s initial stages of development.

With 20 days of the campaign remaining, all efforts will be on pushing onto the £500,000 marker, when the extensive building and development of the three, highly complex cloud-based experiences can begin. Through Brabham-Digital, the team will give fans unprecedented behind-the-scenes access and inspire a new generation of drivers and engineers.

Project Brabham Hits Halfway On First Target In 3.5 Days

Project Brabham – the bid to return the iconic Brabham Racing team name to the track by Sir Jack’s Brabham’s youngest son, David, is already halfway to hitting its first crowdfunding target of £250,000 just 3.5 days following its launch.

David, an ex-F1 driver, Le Mans winner and multiple sportscar champion in his own right, is inviting the motorsport community to become a part of the new Brabham Racing team and shape its future through crowdfunding.

Fans across the globe have embraced the open source racing model David is developing which promises openness and transparency, giving fans unprecedented behind-the-scenes access while inspiring drivers and engineers across the globe through the Brabham-Digital immersive online portal.

Nearly 1500 funders have already helped Project Brabham to reach the 50 per cent marker on its first total which, once hit, will ensure the front-end of the new Brabham-Digital portal can be delivered, enabling fans to watch and contribute to the team’s initial stages of development.

The community will also be able to vote and interact on certain team decisions from the outset, receiving regular video, written and audio updates until the team is fully formed. A comprehensive prospectus will also allow the team to go after the big investment required for a three-year LMP2 programme in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Brabham Racing aims to be on-track in the WEC and Le Mans 24 Hours in 2015, but also aspires to eventually return to Formula 1.

With such a staggering response from fans and progress made in under four days, it’s clear that Project Brabham has the potential to make motorsport and crowdfunding history with 35 days of the crowdfunding phase still to run.
