Brack also competed three times in Formula 1 , each time at the Canadian Grand Prix . In 1968 he got a works car from Colin Chapman . However, Brack failed with the Lotus 49 after a defect on the drive shaft. In 1969 he got a works car again, this time a BRM P138 . In the end Brack was ten laps behind the winner and was not classified.
