Gary Brabham, English-Australian race car driver
Gary Thomas Brabham (born 29 March 1961) is a former professional racing driver and a convicted child sex offender from Australia.
He is the son of three-time World Formula One Champion Sir Jack Brabham and the brother of Le Mans winners Geoff and David Brabham.
His solitary F1 berth came with Life, a team that failed to prequalify for a single F1 race in its lone season of existence. Brabham's career never fully recovered, despite winning the 1991 Sebring 12 Hours and being the first Australian to start the Gold Coast Indy Grand Prix.
