Burning .rubber, he was in first place and in the last mile of the 218.4-mile race when his Cooper-Climax faltered and stopped, just 500 yds. from the finish line; a leak had emptied his fuel tank. Brabham climbed out of the cockpit and began pushing his 1,000-lb. car home, while the crowd of 15,000 cheered him on.

Instead, it was given four massive feet on which it could be walked around like a mechanical dinosaur. Leak detectors were installed everywhere to watch for escaping hydrogen; 104 alarm circuits inside the machine flash lights, ring bells and honk horns at the slightest hint of trouble. In a serious emergency (e.g., the failure of the refrigeration system) the entire stock of liquid hydrogen can be dumped through a pipe...
