Biography

Brown started his career in karting in 2011 at the age of thirteen. He won numerous championships in his junior years and had an 80% win rate. He moved up the ranks and competed in the inaugural CAMS Jayco Australian Formula 4 Championship in 2015 with team BRM.[1]

Formula 4

Brown was a championship contender for the Formula 4 championship in 2015, winning 3 of the 15 races that season. He took out the title with one round and one race left in the season in 2016 after a controversial race in Tasmania after colliding with rivals Nick Rowe and Jordan Love.

Super2 Series

For the 2017 racing season, Brown was picked up by Eggleston Motorsport to replace the outgoing Liam McAdam.[2][3] He scored a best finish of 3rd at Symmons Plains and was on course to win the final race of the season in Newcastle before blowing a gearbox. He finished ninth overall.

In 2019 we drove in the new TCR Australia Touring Car Series. He was crowned champion with one round remaining.[4]
