This is the Brabham BT26A 3rd Mexico GP 1969 Jack Brabham #8 in 1:43 scale by Spark.
At the 1969 Mexican Grand Prix held on the fast and bumpy high‑altitude circuit at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez in Mexico City, Jack Brabham drove his Brabham BT26A #8 to a third‑place finish, taking the final podium spot behind race winner Denny Hulme and teammate Jacky Ickx in a strong showing for the Brabham‑Ford team in the season finale. Brabham — already a three‑time World Champion and team owner — also claimed pole position for the race, highlighting both his driving skill and the BT26A’s competitiveness on a track where thin air and warmth challenged engine performance and driver stamina more than at most other rounds. The 1969 Mexican GP stands out for its high‑altitude conditions, which reduced aerodynamic downforce and required teams to rethink cooling and tuning, as well as for being the last race of the season in a year defined by intense competition between established champions and rising stars in Formula 1.
