It's a shame the 1968 3 litre four-valve version of the Repco engine was a bit underpowered and unreliable compared to the Cosworth DFV, and didn't show the same excellence as its two-valve Repco forebearer, and that the Brabham team thus followed the crowd and switched - with some success - to the Cosworth in 1969.
