#3 1978 Brabham BT46B Fan Car
Bernie Ecclestone is mostly known as the former chief executive of the Formula One Group, but it was also under his ownership that Brabham released the BT46 for the 1978 Formula One season. Designed by Gordon Murray, the car was used to experiment with various different structural concepts.
The BT46B was developed as a counter to the Lotus 79, and it installed a fan to suck the air from beneath the car, giving it more grip and downforce. Niki Lauda drove the car during the Swedish Grand Prix and won it by over half a minute. It was claimed that the fan was used only for cooling purposes, and while the car was deemed legal by FIA, it was never used again.
