Specialty Definition: Brabham racing team

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The Brabham Racing Organisation was a Formula One racing team founded by Jack Brabham. It was the only Australian team ever to carry a World Champion to victory, and the last team run by the driver to win a Formula One world championship.

Founded in 1961, the team folded in 1993.

Team

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Any group of persons or animals can form a team when linked in a common purpose.

Thus teams of sports players can form (and re-form) to practise their craft; and transport logistics executives can select teams of horses or of dogs or of oxen for the purpose of conveying goods.

Theorists in business have popularized the concept of constructing teams artificially for vague or non-existent purposes, thus relegating "team" to the status of a four-letter word. Managers may assemble teams to take advantage of collective behaviours to the potential detriment of individualism.

Compare the more structured/skilled concept of a crew, and the advantages of formal and informal partnerships.

Lexicography

Devil's Dictionary

MAIDEN, n. A young person of the unfair sex addicted to clewless conduct and views that madden to crime. The genus has a wide geographical distribution, being found wherever sought and deplored wherever found. The maiden is not altogether unpleasing to the eye, nor (without her piano and her views) insupportable to the ear, though in respect to comeliness distinctly inferior to the rainbow, and, with regard to the part of her that is audible, bleating out of the field by the canary -- which, also, is more portable. A lovelorn maiden she sat and sang -- This quaint, sweet song sang she; "It's O for a youth with a football bang And a muscle fair to see! The Captain he Of a team to be! On the gridiron he shall shine, A monarch by right divine, And never to roast on it -- me!" Opoline Jones
