Norman Brown (1960-1983) was a professional motorcycle road racer.
Brown was born in Newry, County Down, Northern Ireland where his father, Norman Brown senior, ran a public house: "The Star Bar", or "Brown's Bar", overlooking the Clanrye River and Newry Town Hall. Brown attended Newry High School. He won the 1982 "Classic race" in the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) and in 1983, he raised the TT lap record to 116.19 mph in the Senior Classic event for machines up to 1000cc. He was killed during the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on 31 July 1983 [1]. When it began to rain he slowed and whilst 'touring' back to the pits he was hit by Swiss rider (Peter Huber) and both riders were killed.
