He formed a formidable partnership with Jack Brabham and showed a friendship and close working relationship that created one of the best engineer-driver partnerships ever. His work indeed stretched beyond the confines of Formula 1, with the Ralt chassis.

Very sad, but good to see he kept himself busy and active right to the end. He was Patron at the Phillip Island Historic meet when he was 90.
RIP Ron. |

R.I.P. 95, what a great innings. When I first started following F1, I had no idea about who it was that actually designed F1 cars, until I saw a picture of the iconic Lobster Claw Brabham BT 34.

The amount of Ralts he produced was superb, he did a lot for the lower formulae. Left no stone unturned
Keep that prized RT34 possession |
