Brown left the world of Formula One to join Galmer Engineering as Assistant Technical Director. In 1992 they won the Indy 500 with a car of their own design. 〔 Brown later became a founding member and Chief Engineer for PacWest Racing, where they set a new closed course world record of at Fontana, California in 1997. Following this he joined Panther Racing as Chief Engineer for the 1999 season subsequently winning back-to-back Indy Racing League series championships in 2001 and 2002.

For 2011, Brown returned to the UK and created ACBC Ltd., but with his Indycar background most of the company's business interests are naturally still in the USA, the main customers being Chip Ganassi Racing and Honda Performance Development. But with a shortage of such specialised knowledge in the UK, media work, reporting on Indycar activities, has been forthcoming for both Magazines and Television. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andy Brown (engineer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
