Brausch Niemann was a South African racing driver who made a single Formula 1 start in 1963, driving a privately entered Lotus-Ford at his home Grand Prix. He qualified for the race and finished fourteenth, though without scoring championship points. His appearance came during an era when national Grand Prix events sometimes attracted local drivers with limited international racing experience.[1]

The record shows one race start across all categories of competition. Niemann competed at a level typical of occasional Grand Prix entrants of that period rather than establishing a sustained professional career in racing. He has since retired from motorsport.[2]
