Fareham driver selected for all-disabled team in major competition
A Fareham racing driver will once again represent an all-disabled team in a major competition.
Paul Fullick, a lower leg amputee following a motorbike accident, has been selected for the fourth year running to drive for Team BRIT.
The team, known for its groundbreaking approach, is the only one in the world composed entirely of disabled drivers.
This year, Mr Fullick will compete in the Britcar Endurance Championship, driving the team's McLaren 570S GT4.
He will team up with Aaron Morgan from Basingstoke, a paraplegic following a motocross accident.
The duo uses Team BRIT's world-leading hand control technology, allowing them to compete against able-bodied drivers.
In the 2024 season, the pair delivered strong performances despite facing technical challenges that cost them points in some races.
However, they managed to secure multiple class podiums, finishing third overall at Snetterton. The final performance left the pair fourth overall in championship points and second in their class.
Paul said: 'I feel really proud to have been selected to drive for the team again this year. It's a real passion of mine, and the team is like a family.
"My driving has gotten stronger and stronger with every season and after a mixed, but positive season last year, I know we can be incredibly competitive this year and push for a championship win.
'A massive thank you to all my personal sponsors and to every organisation that has helped our team in recent years, we simply couldn't do it without them."
Paul, now 43, was medically discharged from the Army in 2006 after a diving accident.
A keen motorcyclist and instructor, he suffered an accident in September 2021, which resulted in the amputation of the lower part of his right leg.
He completed his first full season of racing with Team BRIT in 2022, teaming up with Tyrone Mathurin in the Britcar Trophy.
Alongside his role as a driver, Paul serves as a coach and mentor to rookie drivers and works as the team's business development manager, leading community outreach programmes.
Mr Fullick's season began with winter testing in Portimao, Portugal earlier this month, ahead of his first race at Silverstone on April 5.
