His greatest successes in Grand Prix races were third places in the Monaco Grand Prix in 1935 and German Grand Prix in 1936. That year he won the pole position for the AAA-sanctioned Vanderbilt Cup, finishing third.^[2] He stopped racing after winning Mille Miglia in his own category in 1952.

As a bobsledder, Brivio won a bronze medal in the two-man event at the 1935 FIBT World Championships in Igls.
