🏳️ Tom Brown

Tom Brown is a semi-professional sprint racing driver competing in a series of national solo motorsport championships across the United States. His primary focus has been the SCCA's multiclass national and regional series since 2020, racing V8 pony cars in the AS class and spec Mazda Miatas in the SM class, alongside occasional entries in the SCCA Runoffs and NASA's Spec Miata championship. His most recent activity places him at the 2025 SCCA Runoffs.[1]

Across eight seasons and 85 starts, Brown has taken 10 wins and 26 podiums. His record is split fairly evenly between SCCA Majors, where he has 55 starts and 6 wins across multiple classes, and SCCA Regionals, where he has 23 starts and 3 wins. He won all three of his NASA starts in 2016, competing in the Spec Miata class. His SCCA Runoffs appearances have yielded four starts without a podium finish to date. Brown's rating of 2,290 places him at semi-professional level, reflecting a competitor whose results come predominantly against drivers of similar standing rather than the national champions and graded professionals who share the same grids.[2]

Brown typically finishes ahead of club-level drivers like Senter Smith and behind entry-level professionals such as Tyler Brown, a two-time SCCA Majors SM champion and a regular opponent in the same races. He has beaten established professionals including Matthew Payne, an FIA Gold-graded driver with Supercars Championship and European Le Mans Series experience, and Connor Zilisch, an FIA Gold-graded driver and 2025 NASCAR Xfinity champion, though these victories represent occasional upsets rather than consistent competitive parity with drivers of that calibre.
