Brabham's career never fully recovered, despite winning the [[1991 Sebring 12 Hours]] and being the first Australian to start the Gold Coast Indy Grand Prix.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://f1rejects.com/interviews/brabhamg/index.html |title=Interview with Gary Brabham |publisher=F1 Rejects |access-date=2014-03-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120512043014/http://f1rejects.com/interviews/brabhamg/index.html |archive-date=12 May 2012 }}</ref> After his career, Brabham was convicted of child rape.<ref name="abc.net.au"/>

==Early life==
Brabham, born in Wimbledon, England,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://en.espn.co.uk/f1/motorsport/driver/1135.html|title=Gary Brabham|website=ESPN UK|access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref> was the second-born of the triple World Champion Sir Jack Brabham. Despite hopes from his mother that he would avoid the motor-racing scene altogether, he grew up on a diet of [[Formula Ford]] in both Australia and the UK.

He made his racing debut in 1982, finishing his first race at [[Calder Park Raceway]] in third despite being in a 9-year-old car. He later broke the Formula Ford lap record at the [[Sandown Raceway]] in the same car.<ref name="richardsf2">{{cite web |url=http://richardsf1.com/rf1/formula-1/f1-profiles/gary-brabham/ |title=Gary Brabham – Richard's F1 |publisher=Richardsf1.com |date=1961-03-29 |access-date=2014-03-05 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023061310/http://richardsf1.com/rf1/formula-1/f1-profiles/gary-brabham/ |archive-date=23 October 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref><ref name="f1rejects2">{{cite web|url=http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/brabhamg/biography.html |title=Gary Brabham - Biography |publisher=F1rejects.com |date=2001-05-10 |access-date=2014-03-05 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131023061722/http://www.f1rejects.com/drivers/brabhamg/biography.html |archive-date=23 October 2013 }}</ref>

==Career==

===Starter formulae===

Later in 1982, he was chosen to go to Europe for 1983. Despite very little support from the Australian public, Brabham raced in the British Formula Ford 2000 Championship for Neil Trundle Racing, in a Reynard SF83. He finishing the season in 11th place. During this season, he also made his sports car-racing début, sharing a March-Ford 83S, with [[Alo Lawler]] at [[Brands Hatch]].<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

For the following season, he remained in the same series, joining Penistone Racing, partnering [[Julian Bailey (racing driver)|Julian Bailey]] in their Reynard SF84. Brabham regularly outpaced his team-mate, and despite team orders not to outperform his team-mate, he still was not disgraced taking sixth overall in the final championship positions. During 1984, he tried his hand at other categories, including racing sport cars in the [[Thundersports Series]], taking his maiden victory at [[Snetterton Motor Racing Circuit|Snetterton]], sharing a [[Tiga Race Cars|Tiga]]-[[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] TS84 with [[Tim Lee-Davey]].  With no top single-seater drives available for him in 1985, Brabham had a slight reprieve through the Thundersports series, where he raced for the [[Tech-Speed Motorsport|TechSpeed Racing]] team in a Shrike-Ford P15 alongside [[Divina Galica]], recording five second places.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

In 1986, his father got a team together under the banner of Jack Brabham Racing. Gary raced in 9 of the 18 rounds of the British Formula 3 Championship in a [[Ralt]]-[[Volkswagen]] RT30, managing some decent results such as second at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]]. This was enough to take him to fifth in the championship. For 1987, the team had secured [[Panasonic]] backing for 15 of the 19 F3 races, in a Ralt-Volkswagen RT31. Brabham won two races at Silverstone and [[Donington Park]], coming I sixth in the championship. He was threatening [[Johnny Herbert]] for the title until his budget tragically ran out.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

During the 1987 season, he made one-off appearances at Oulton Park in the British Touring Car Championship, and at Silverstone in the [[Austin Maestro|MG Maestro Challenge]]. In the latter, he notably battled for the lead with future F1 World Champion [[Damon Hill]] and won the race, though neither were eligible for points as they were guest drivers.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zJsa2RJnuE0</ref><ref>https://flickr.com/photos/trackside/49734741467/</ref> He also contested a Ford Escort Celebrity race at Brands Hatch and finished 4th.<ref>https://forums.autosport.com/topic/227943-daley-thompson-ford-escort-1987/view_ignored=10885384#entry10885384</ref>

He returned to Australia briefly to race in the [[1987 James Hardie 1000]] at [[Mount Panorama Circuit|Bathurst]], sharing a works [[E30 M3|BMW M3]] with [[Juan Manuel Fangio II]]. The car was up to fifth at one stage before Fangio glanced a stricken car in the rain. Brabham showed his speed late in the race, dicing and passing the Aussie legend [[Peter Brock]]. Although Brock would eventually win the race, Brabham and Fangio were classified 16th at the end.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

For 1988, Brabham returned to England, joining [[Bowman Racing]] for a third season of British Formula 3. Although [[JJ Lehto]] won the championship, Brabham stormed home late in the season, winning four races in his Ralt-Volkswagen RT32 to finish second. On his way, he also won the [[1988 Scottish Superprix|Scottish Superprix]] and [[1988 International Gold Cup|Oulton Park Gold Cup]]. This earned him his first chance to test a Formula One car. He tested a [[Benetton B188]] at the behest of team manager, Peter Collins, at [[Circuito de Jerez|Jerez]].<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

A chance to move up to [[International Formula 3000]] arose in 1989, but the drive went to [[Andrea Chiesa]], instead. Brabham settled for a drive with Bromley Motorsport, in the [[1989 British Formula 3000 season|British Formula 3000 Championship]], in an ex-[[Roberto Moreno]]  Reynard-Cosworth 88D. He took this car to the inaugural title with four victories and pole positions along the way. During the season, he also managed to secure some outings in the International series for both Bromley and Leyton House teams, his best result being fifth at Brands Hatch.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

Also, Brabham finished fifth at the 1988 Formula 3 [[Macau Grand Prix]] and sixth in 1989.

===Life in F1===

After more F1 testing for Leyton House and Brabham teams, he also assisted Porsche with their Indy car, before the opportunity arose to race in F1.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

He failed to prequalify for two Formula One Grands Prix with the troubled Life project, a team that failed to prequalify for all 14 of its attempts during the 1990 season. Brabham was the second-slowest prequalifier (leading only the [[Enzo Coloni Racing Car Systems|Coloni-Subaru]] of [[Bertrand Gachot]], who recorded a lap time of 5:15.010, but 30 seconds behind the [[EuroBrun]] of [[Claudio Langes]]) at Phoenix, and the engine gave up after only 400&nbsp;m in Brazil. One small plus of the car was that it was the sixth-fastest car in a straight line in untimed practice in Brazil.<ref name="racerviews.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.racerviews.com/2012/02/22/brabham-fortnight-we-catch-up-with-gary-brabham/|title=Brabham Fortnight: We catch up with Gary Brabham|work=RacerViews.com|date=22 February 2012 |access-date=26 March 2016}}</ref> After those two races, when clearly no improvement was forthcoming, Brabham promptly quit the team in disgust.<ref name="richardsf2"/><ref name="f1rejects2"/> He had a small chance to join the Brabham team at the time, but confusion over his Life contract caused him to lose the seat to his brother David.<ref name="racerviews.com"/>

===After Formula One===

For the remainder of 1990, Brabham raced in F3000 for Middlebridge Racing in their Lola-Mugen T89/50, collecting two third places at [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]] and [[Autodromo di Pergusa|Enna]]. However, his bad luck continued as he failed to qualify for [[Pau Grand Prix|Pau]] and [[Birmingham Superprix|Birmingham]]. He returned to Australia for the [[1990 Nissan Sydney 500|Eastern Creek 500]], teaming up with his brother David in a [[Ford Sierra RS500]] for [[Frank Gardner (racing driver)|Frank Gardner’s]] team. The brothers finished fourth.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

In 1991, he went Stateside to the IMSA championship and drove for Nissan Performance Technology Inc. [NPTI] at the [[1991 Sebring 12 Hours|Sebring 12 Hours]] along his other brother [[Geoff Brabham|Geoff]] and Irishman [[Derek Daly]]. Starting from pole, they won the race in their [[Nissan NPT-90]]. This victory did not open any more doors. Brabham settled for a series of one-off drives: a drive in an older Nissan at Miami, an outing in a Stürtz-BMW SM in an Interserie race at Brands Hatch and another visit to the Bathurst 1000.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

Brabham accepted an invitation from NPTI to race in the IMSA Endurance races in 1992 alongside Daly and [[Steve Millen]] at Daytona, recording a DNF after running in third. At Sebring, the winning crew from 1991 was joined by [[Arie Luyendyk]]. This crew came close to defending the title, finishing second.<ref name="f1rejects2"/>

In 1993 and 1994, he later raced in [[Champ Car|CART]], becoming the first Australian driver to race the [[Nikon Indy 300|Gold Coast Indycar]] street race before retiring from racing in 1995 to teach advanced driver training. His pupils have included [[Rowan Atkinson]] and [[Mark Phillips|Captain Mark Phillips]], for celebrities competing in the Australian and British GP celebrity races<ref name="richardsf2"/><ref name="f1rejects2"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.in.com/gary-brabham/biography-99771.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402114919/http://www.in.com/gary-brabham/biography-99771.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2015-04-02 |title=Celebrity Photo Gallery, Celebrity Wallpapers, Celebrity Videos, Bio, News, Songs, Movies |publisher=In.com |access-date=2014-03-05}}</ref>

==Criminal convictions==
In 2009, he pleaded guilty to charges of indecent dealing of a child under 12 years. Brabham managed to have his name suppressed as he served out his time in high security at [[Wacol]] jail.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.autoevolution.com/news/gary-brabham-son-of-sir-jack-brabham-convicted-of-child-rape-105890.html|title=Gary Thomas Brabham convicted of child rape|work=Auto Evolution|author=Alex Oagana|date=24 March 2016|access-date=21 March 2019}}</ref>

In 2016, a [[Brisbane District Court]] 12-person jury found him guilty of one charge of [[rape]] and one charge of indecent treatment of a child then aged six. The offences occurred between 2003 and 2007 in Brisbane.<ref name=courier_guilty>{{cite news |url=http://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/crime-and-justice/sir-jack-brabhams-son-gary-found-guilty-of-rape-of-young-girl/news-story/f3d73aa244e51b31fc4b57bc774bf941 |title=Sir Jack Brabham's son Gary found guilty of rape of young girl |work=Courier Mail |date=24 March 2016 |access-date=26 March 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-04-15/gary-brabham-jailed-for-rape-of-young-girl/7329576|title=Motor racing champion's son jailed for raping girl|date=15 April 2016|newspaper=ABC News|access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref> After the verdict was handed down, the court was told Brabham had a criminal history.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-24/gary-brabham-son-of-racing-car-legend-guilty-child-rape/7275746|title=Gary Brabham, son of racing car legend, found guilty of child rape|work=ABC News|date=24 March 2016|access-date=26 March 2016}}</ref> In September, an appeal by Brabham against the conviction was unanimously rejected by the [[Queensland Court of Appeal]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-13/brabham-loses-appeal-against-child-rape-conviction/7838002|title=Brabham loses appeal against child rape conviction|date=2016-09-13|newspaper=ABC News|language=en-AU|access-date=2016-10-23}}</ref> He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, but was released after 6 months.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.marieclaire.com.au/article/news/gary-brabham-released-from-jail-after-just-6-months-for-raping-6-year-old|title=Gary Brabham Released From Jail After Just 6 Months For Raping 6-Year-old|website=marieclaire.com.au|date=23 November 2016 |access-date=25 May 2017}}</ref>
