	BRABHAM RALT HONDA THE RON TAURANAC STORY BOOK - Duke Video
		Ron Tauranac - British born, but brought up in Australia - always preferred to let his car sing his praises where it really mattered - on the race tracks of the world.
		Author Mike Lawrence was one of a growing number of people who felt that Ron Tauranacâs significant contribution to modern motor racing should be shielded from the public view no longer, for there was a fascinating story to be told.
		Many of Ron Tauranacâs former colleagues and customers - amongst them the most powerful people in motor racing today - speak candidly about the man they have known and worked with, someone who has never courted popularity, but whose talents have been such that his contribution to the motor racing scene is possibly beyond measure.

		Ron formed a partnership with Jack Brabham designing the cars that took him and his team mate to consecutive F1 World Championships in 1966 and 1967.
		Ron has always been known as one of the gentlemen of the sport and he spread his knowledge by mentoring other great designers such as Gordon Murray, Patrick Head and fellow Aussie Ralph Bellamy.
		In recent times Ron has still found time to attend Australian Formula 3 and present the awards, an action that was much appreciated by the drivers and crews.

		The story goes that Ron was out for a Sunday drive when he came across a race meeting going on (the airstrip was easily visible from the Blacktown-Richmond road) and stopped to watch.
		The Ralt name was made up of the initials of Ron, and Austin Lewis (Austin's second name being invoked so they would not have to call the car RAT), and finally of course the T for Tauranac.
		Ron then established (or re-established depending upon your point of view) Ralt to build lower-formula racing cars, which it did quite successfully for a number of years.

		Ron started in racing in 1946 in his native Australia when with his brother Austin Lewis ( R on + A ustin + L ewis + T auranac= RALT) he began building cars for local competition events.
		Ron himself competed in hillclimbs during the 1950s where a fellow competitor and later friend was Jack Brabham.

		For this reason he offered his old chap Ron Tauranac, who meanwhile had created his fourth Ralt design in Australia, a partnership to establish a team of their own in England.
		Tauranac puzzled at the drawing-board and Brabham was able to analyze the reactions of the car on the track in a very sensitive way and, in respect of his huge amount of experiences, he had the ability to express suggestions of his own to his fellow technician.
		His shares of the company he sold to his friend Ron Tauranac because he did not wan to be a team principal alone.

		Tauranac was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia on Australia Day (January 26) for his efforts in "engineering design, construction and production of Formula 1 racing cars, providing young drivers with opportunities to compete at top levels, and sharing knowledge with others for the advancement of the sport".
		Tauranac and his brother Austin built their first racing car in Australia in 1946 and called the car a Ralt - the name being formed by a combination of their initials.
		Tauranac raced these cars against a young Jack Brabham and when Brabham went to Europe, Tauranac stayed in touch, while he worked as an engineer for the Quality Castings company.

	Trojan - Profile
		Tauranac had been the brains behind the cars that won the 1966 and 1967 World Championships, and his surname was the 'T' in the 'BT' designations of all Brabham cars up to that point and into the future.
		For 1974, Tauranac designed the T102 F5000 car from scratch, the chassis of which in turn became the basis for the T103 F1 car, the machine with which Trojan made its F1 assault.
		The, at the Nurburgring for the German GP, the T103 proved to be a difficult machine to tame, and with a time that was 28.3 seconds off the pole and only 28th quickest, for the second time Agg's team had a DNQ next to its name.

		After Tauranac and Brabham sold out their business in 1972, the former rejoined his brother, Austin Lewis, in the U.K., where the pair recommenced RALT, a race car business they had operated in Australia in the 1950s.

	Richards happy as Larry as consistency puts him on top - Motorsport - www.smh.com.au
		He's Ron Tauranac, the man responsible for building the cars with which Jack Brabham won two of his three world F1 championships, and who went on to be one of Europe's most successful racing car builders, his cars carrying the Ralt name - a combination of his name and that of his brother Austin.
		Later they decided to build their own racing cars and Tauranac designed cars that ran under the MRD (Motor Racing Developments) name with a huge amount of success, culminating in the Brabham F1 cars.
		Tauranac lives in Sydney and, after briefly working with the Dick Johnson team last year, is helping Perkins, his former protege, with his Holden team.

		Brabham retired from racing at the end of 1970 and went back to Australia, selling MRD to Tauranac, but Ron was tired and in 1972 he sold the company to Bernie Ecclestone.
		In 1978 F1 team owner Teddy Yip asked Tauranac to design a Theodore F1 car, but the TR1 was not a great success although Keke Rosberg used his remarkable driving skills to win the International Trophy in one of the cars in very wet conditions.
		Competition from Reynard meant that Ralt began to struggle in F3 and F3000 and in October 1988 Tauranac sold the company to the March Group for £1.25m.

		In 1988 March bought out Ralt and Tauranac stayed on as a consultant, for the next couple of years March continued to win a lot of races but into the early nineties the Ralt star faded along with that of March.
		The intention had been to use this from the beginning but Tauranac held off as he felt customers would not like it as it made the car look bigger than it actually was.
		Most obvious difference was the low sidepod on the right, Tauranac had spotted a loophole in the regulations as regards the the size of the deformable structure required and he used this to improve the aerodynamic advantage of the car.

		In 1989 Tauranac sold Ralt to March Group plc, but March Group plc crashed and was the subject of a management buy out.
		It also had Ron Tauranac's last F3 design, the hugely successful Ralt RT35 Alan Docking had sent one to Italy and the Dallara 393 used the suspension geometry of the Ralt RT35.
		Year on year Dallara improved in detail, not only in design, but in construction and, by 1997, even Ron Tauranac would say that the only way he could make a better F3 car was with the backing of a millionaire who would use it as a loss leader.

		For Hill, Tauranac designed the striking one-off BT34 "lobster claw", which in 1972 was put to effective use by full-season debutant Carlos Reutemann.
		Tim Schenken had been pals with Tauranac since his days at Brabham in 1971, running alongside Graham Hill for MRD, and pulling off some surprise results in the workmanlike BT33, third in Austria by far the most remarkable, in the process outscoring his team leader in the drivers' table.
		In 1974 Ron Tauranac, former partner and chief designer for Brabham Cars who had sold his assets in the Brabham to Bernie Ecclestone, went to Trojan to design a new F1 car powered by the ubiquitous Cosworth engine.

		But also alongside Jack was Ron Tauranac, perhaps nowhere near as well known, but Ron was very much a part of the Brabham success story behind the scenes.
		Sam Michael:- Obviously Jack Brabham was three times world champion and Ron Tauranac was the main engineer behind that, and it's probably more of a credit to Ron, but I actually know more about Ron than what I do about Jack, because I know Ron quite well.
		I've got a lot of older friends that are friends with Ron as well, so it's something that obviously they worked together in the '60s and '70s.

		Because of the paucity of published work on Ron Tauranac, Mike Lawrence by merely penning a book on Ron would have earned my gratitude.

		Most people know Ron Tauranac as the designer behind Sir Jack Brabham's championship success in 1966, when the Australian won the title in a car bearing his own name, the first, and so far, only man to do so.
		In a remarkable career spanning F1, customer racing cars, Sportscars and consultancy work, Ron has racked up a record which, thanks to today's multi-dimensional nature of racing car design (with dozens of engineers employed to work on a single car), will almost certainly never be beaten.
		For all that, though, came as a surprise to read that Ron had stated before that he ranked himself in this category.
