DIVERSITY & INCLUSION SPEAKER SERIES BY CONNECT AT CAPRI:
WITH DRIVE: OVERCOMING OBSTACLES - A DISCUSSION WITH
NICOLAS HAMILTON.
We are pleased to announce that Nicolas Hamilton, the first disabled athlete to compete in the British
Touring Car Championship, joined us on Thursday November 4th, 2021 as we celebrate Disability
Awareness Month. Nicolas is a prime example of you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Born with
Cerebral Palsy, Nicolas continuously strives to overcome the pain, strains and endless struggles that are a
result of his disability.
Nicolas exceeded all expectations in his first year of racing and showed the world of motorsport that an
individual with Cerebral Palsy can be just as competitive as an 'able bodied' individual in a very physical
sport. Nicolas represents the 11 million disabled people that are in the UK, of which only 20% are involved
in sports. Watch as Nicolas speaks to his journey and achievements to inspire both disabled and able-bodied
individuals worldwide to show that pushing to better yourself regardless of your life situation is possible.
