After the last BTCC round at Croft, there has been plenty of coverage of Nicholas Hamilton, brother of current F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton making his BTCC debut.

However Autosport has reported that he is the first disabled driver to take part in a BTCC race. Is that correct? I am sure Autosport have done their research but what do you TNFers think?

Well, as always, this comes down to what, exactly, is considered a disability when weighing up these things?

 

See this thread - http://forums.autosp...-merged/page-1   going through the list, technically, John Love and Paul O'Neil raced with some kind of handicap.
