Brabham became a regular in the Australian Touring Car endurance scene, particularly at the Bathurst 1000 racing Fords for Tony Longhurst Racing and Allan Moffat Racing. He later raced in CART, becoming the first Australian driver to race the Gold Coast Indycar street race before retiring from racing in 1995 to teach advanced driver training.

He is best known for being the son of Formula 1 World Champion Jack Brabham. His two brothers, Geoff and David also pursued professional racing careers as has his nephew Matthew.
