Here is an extremely memorable piece of footage where 5-time world champion, Juan Manuel Fangio, aged 66, races against Jack Brabham. The 4 lap 'demonstration' was run after the Australian Grand Prix at Sandown in 1978. With Fangio in his W196 Mercedes Benz and Brabham in his Repco Brabham, a car 12 years newer than Fangio's.An awesome exhibition of great racing cars, pushed to their limit against one another, a special clip.

Wow. I can't believe these guys raced in Sandown Park, Victoria - Australia. I live in Mulgrave which is 1 minute from Sandown. Wish I was born to see it lol. They should do exhibitions again.

shut up fangio is the better driver every time and anyway the w196 is better made, awsome engines and also is an older car

Please get real, Brabham didn't drive flat-out. W196 had less power, 300+ kg more, higher center of gravity, narrower tires, inferior suspension... There's just no comparision between the two cars, Brabham is superior in every way, and much faster.Laptimes comparision:Reims: 2:29.4 (W196) vs. 2:10.2 (Brabham)Spa: 4:22.1 (W196) vs. 3:41.8 (Brabham)Nurburgring: 9:50.1 (W196) vs. 8:20.8 (Brabham)

fangio no solo era el mas rapido, tambien el que mejor trataba el coche,por ejemplo decir que ganaba gastando menos las ruedas que sus competidores, era muy fino.

that w196 is fuckin unbeatable just as 5:14 proovs, such an awsome piece of machine and fangio is three million times the driver than shitty brabham

These drivers are more impressive than the current crop of Paddle shifting play station drivers.

And none of them could Design Build and Race a car to a world championship. Jack Brabham did and the only one to do so. Thats a trinity
