Motorsport Gave Nicolas A Purpose To Overcome His Condition
Nicolas suffers from a neurological disorder called cerebral palsy, which affects his legs and balance and has caused permanent damage to certain areas of his body.
He was born with this condition and was told that he would never be able to walk properly.
However, he underwent major surgery and years of physiotherapy to strengthen his legs, enabling him to walk unassisted by age 17.
Despite a challenging past with the disorder, Nicolas pursued his racing career, starting in the Renault Clio Cup United Kingdom.
Apart from his condition, Nicolas also experienced bullying in school due to being the only black student.
During his childhood, his father gave him a chance to drive a go-kart in a car park, which sparked his passion for racing, similar to his brother Lewis.

Surpassing his physical limitations, Nicolas has achieved a remarkable achievement by becoming the first differently abled driver to participate in British Touring Car Championship (BTCC).
Currently, Nicolas is the only differently-abled driver in the BBTC who has competed against 30 fit drivers at speeds of up to 130 miles per hour.
Nicolas’s ambition is to progress even further and aim for the top 10 and eventually the top five positions on the grid.
Hamilton has a special Modified car that has a hand clutch on the steering wheel and allows him to minimize the use of his legs. The hand clutch works like a regular foot pedal.
