Through my employment with Pangean International a fantastic project I am proud to have been a part of was the design and launch of the Brabham BT62 hypercar.
I was involved with designing the Liveries, the car's badges, David Brabham's Race suit, Marketing material, Brochures, Branded clothing, and teaser trailers leading up to and after the launch of the car.
UNUSED
RACE LIVERIES
Here's a few examples of liveries that remain unused.
BT62
LE MANS LIVERY
During the development of the BT62 I was tasked with designing various racing liveries for the car. This design represented Brabham's desire to participate in future 24-hour Le Mans races and was debuted at the Michelin Stand during the 2018 Le Mans.
The intention with this design was to hark back to the classic liveries of the 70s and 80s, connecting the final years of Brabham's motorsport history to the modern resurgence of the brand.
Initial concept of the livery.
Near final render of the livery.
As of 2024 the car still sports this livery,
so I can proudly say that throughout Brabham Automotive's 6 year lifespan my Le Mans Livery has been there, and since Brabham Automotive has closed its doors, has outlived the company itself, standing the test of time.

LAUNCH TRAILER
One of my favourite parts of this project was getting the opportunity to edit together the launch trailer for the Brabham BT62, which was show at the global launch event in Australia House.
This trailer was put together on short notice without access to raw footage, but I am proud of the result.
LAUNCH EVENT
TIME LAPSE
To show the effort and challenges the Pangean team went through in order to make this event work, I created a time lapse using a GoPro and worked in footage from the event.
During the launch event I was in charge of all the Video / Audio shown on screen.

BADGES
During the development of the BT62 I was tasked with creating a 3D version of the cars nose and rear badges, I achieved this using RHINO. It was a fairly small and simple task workload wise but I was very proud to have had a part in making the badges for a hyper car.

ENDPLATES
A major part of the BT62 project was the endplates, The original idea for the BT62 was that the first 35 cars would be dedicated to one of Brabham's 35 wins. For example the green and gold car was liveried to commemorate Jack Brabham's victory at the 1966 French Grand Prix.
I had the task of creating the end plates for all 35 of these cars. A template was created that each one could draw from, this included the name and outline of the car that won the race, the year, location and date of the race.
BRABHAM
RACE SUIT
I created various designs for David Brabham's racing suit and helmet for the BT62's debut, Despite positive feedback the final design for the suit had to be simplified and the helmet never made.

MERCHANDISE
Part of the project that didn't get realised was the Brabham Automotive E-shop, I was tasked with designing various clothing items such as shirts, jumpers and hats, as well as other items for the online shop. Most of which were just recolouring items and placing the logo on to it. There were some unique designs I created for it, here are some of the more interesting examples.
