David Brabham is one of the most accomplished racers of his generation, with a Formula One ride in the early 1990s followed by victories at LeMans and Sebring and an American Le Mans Series championship last year. Well traveled and worldly wise, Brabham was born in England, raised in Australia and has competed everywhere in between.
Brabham, 44, is a big picture kind-of-guy who is as passionate in raising money to fight malaria as he is dedicated to his successful racing career. He could be driving a Ferrari around town, but chooses the more efficient Volkswagen
Golf.
On his driver's suit, where most drivers wear a flag representing their home country, Brabham instead has a patch of the planet Earth.
"We are human beings, we don't belong to a country, we all live on the planet Earth. ... it just works for me to think that way,'' he explained.
