'''William Archibald Scott Brown''', known as '''Archie''',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/march-1986/42/archie-scott-brown|title=Archie Scott-Brown|date=7 July 2014 }}</ref> (13 May 1927 – 19 May 1958) was a British [[Formula One]] and [[sports car racing]] driver from Scotland who had a prodigious racing ability despite having the fingers of his right hand missing and having to use his palm to drive.  He was educated at Clifton Hall School and Merchiston Castle School, in Edinburgh, Scotland. He became known as motorsport's first disabled hero and battled considerable adversity (including having his licence revoked) to participate in, and win, some of the most prestigious races of his day, besides being the biggest idol of his compatriot [[Jim Clark]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goodwood.com/grrc/columnists/doug-nye/2016/12/doug-nye-archie-scott-brown-remembered/|title=Doug Nye: Archie Scott Brown – Motorsport's first disabled hero?|website=www.goodwood.com|access-date=2017-11-08|archive-date=16 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191016181246/https://www.goodwood.com/grr/columnists/doug-nye/2016/12/doug-nye-archie-scott-brown-remembered/|url-status=dead}}</ref> After being discovered and championed by Brian Lister, he enjoyed great success racing [[Lister Cars]], winning the [[British Empire Trophy]] in 1957.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title=Lister-Jaguar : Brian Lister and the cars from Cambridge|last=Paul.|first=Skilleter|date=2010|publisher=PJ Publishing|isbn=9780955010231|location=Barton on Sea|oclc=751729170}}</ref> In his short career, he scored a total of 71 race victories, 15 of which came from international competition. He participated in one Formula One World Championship Grand Prix on 14 July 1956, scoring no championship points. He also attempted to qualify for the [[1956 Italian Grand Prix|Italian Grand Prix]] in the same year, but was excluded due to his lack of the required International Licence, his disability precluding the granting of such a licence at the time.
