Video: Ricardo Patrese reunited with his Brabham BT52 at Goodwood

Forty years on from the 1983 season that saw Nelson Piquet take his second F1 world championship behind the wheel of the Brabham BT52, a car that Murray had hastily drawn up after ground effect cars were outlawed just six weeks before the opening race of the year.

Alongside Piquet, Brabham had Ricardo Patrese, who through a mix of mistakes and horrendous reliability that year ultimately found himself reduced to the role of a glorified test driver. He finally got everything together in the final race at Kyalami to win and prove his worth.

That exact car that he drove in the 1983 South African Grand Prix, chassis number six, was the one that he climbed back into 40 years later for some laps of the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit, and what an emotional moment it was.

We got Patrese, Murray and Blash together with the BT52 for a moment of reminiscence, and it was fascinating to hear what they had to say about this incredible era of F1.
