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.
After years of hard work and dedication in overcoming his condition from wheelchair bound to walking unaided by the age of 17, he was given the opportunity to race in the highly competitive Renault Clio Cup series. This naturally was a baptism of fire given that this would be Nicolas’ first attempt at motorsport, but Nicolas handled the challenges presented to him with the same dedication and determination that his disability presents to him on a daily basis.
In 2015, Nicolas became the first disabled athlete to compete in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) and hopes to inspire both disabled and able-bodied individuals worldwide to show that pushing to better yourself regardless of your life situation or industry is possible.
2019 sees Nicolas returning to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) racing with Motorbase Performance and continuing his inspiring journey to achieve his goals in motorsport.
