Repco Brabham

Designed by Ron Tauranac, the BT24 was based on the BT23 Formula 2 car and was notably light and compact. Tauranac continued to adhere to the space frame chassis, at a time when most of the F1 constructors had moved to monocoque chassises. The BT24 was designed to take the new Repco 740 V-8 engine and Tauranac had requested that Repco build the engine with in vee exhausts to reduce frontal area and ease the problem of threading exhaust pipes through the rear suspension links.
