[Roadsters] Jack Brabham

[RWM]

The Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, John Surtees, Dan Gurney F1 (and Can 
Am) era was the high point of privateers innovating, designing and 
racing cars of their own design.

Sadly, the end of the privateer era was hurried along by the wretched 
excess budget factory efforts, virtually eliminating the possibility of 
an individual entrant innovating to win.
