Army vet amputee defies odds to become competitive race car driver

  • Paul Fullick, a 43-year-old British Army veteran from Southampton, Hants, is preparing for his fourth Britcar Endurance Championship season, which starts this weekend at Silverstone, driving a modified McLaren 570S GT4 with hand controls and a top speed over 200mph.
  • Fullick lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident in 2021, which ultimately led to his car racing career after a friend introduced him to Team BRIT.
  • Within weeks of the accident, Fullick was trialing a test car at Brands Hatch, embracing the opportunity to race in a specially modified car.
  • Fullick has "no regrets" about his accident, stating, "If you know how to look for the positives in the cards you're dealt, you can make things happen," and recalling a funny incident where a marshal was unaware he was an amputee and thought he had lost his leg in a crash.
  • Fullick competes with Team BRIT, the world's only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers, which aims to be the first all-disabled team to race in the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in France, competing against able-bodied teams and including drivers with developmental disabilities.
