I need information on an Australian driver called Warwick Brown who raced in Formula 1 in 1976.

He only made one Formula 1 appearance in a Wolf Williams at Watkins Glen in 1976.

Basically what I want to know is his career before his sole F1 appearance and what he'd done after that.

Whatever happpened to Warwick?, and are there any pictures of him in his Wolf-Williams at the Glen and after his F1 career if he raced.

Any help won't go unnoticed.

He raced Formula 5000's here in Australia for quite some time. Had a big shunt in 1973 in his T300 Lola at old Surfers Paradise Raceway, and broke both legs. Came back in 1974, still limping and I believe using a cane and ran in the Tasman series. Won the final round at I think Oran Park.

Was in the US F5000 series for 76-79, bit came back and won the 1977 Australian GP, which I think was run for F5000's. Also won the Tasman title in 1975. There was an article on him in Motor Racing Australia magazine not long ago. I have the article at home and will dig it up.

That's the one. Slightly unusual cause of the full width nose.....

This is the FW05 he drove in the USGP,it was just a warmed over Hesketh.Its the right number,looks like its at the USGP,but it doesn't look like Browns helmet,in '75 he had a white helmet with WB on it.
