The son of racing legend Sir Jack Brabham has appeared in a Brisbane court on child sex charges, where his trail was again delayed.
The trial of Gary Thomas Brabham, 54, was due to begin this week in the Brisbane District Court after he was charged with one count of rape and six of indecent treatment of a child under 12.
But on Monday, the case was delayed due to legal argument.
The matter returned to court before Judge Helen Bowskill on Wednesday, however it was again adjourned for further review on Friday.
Brabham, a former professional driver himself, sat quietly in the dock as the legal argument unfolded.
He followed his famous father and brothers Geoff and David into motor-racing, making a name for himself in Europe in Formula Fords and the British Formula 3 championship.
But his career never fully recovered from a disappointing entry into Formula One racing in 1990, when he failed to pre-qualify for the first two races of the season before quitting his team.
