Racing career
Brown participated in a single Formula One Grand Prix, on 10 October 1976. He drove a Wolf–Williams Racing car at the 1976 United States Grand Prix and finished 14th, five laps behind the winner James Hunt. Brown suffered the loss of third and fifth gears during the race, as well as rear brake problems.
