“It’s a reminder that disability doesn't have to limit ambition.”

An Army veteran from Fareham has realised his dream of becoming a motorsport champion.

Paul Fullick, 45, has been competing in the GT Cup Championship for a fifth season this year, driving for Team Brit in the GT3 category. Racing in a suped-up BMW M3, he and teammate Jamie Falvey have enjoyed a tremendous season, with victories at Donnington Park and Brands Hatch.

In the final round of the championship at Snetterton last weekend, Fullick and Falvey took the GT3 title - winning a further two races in the process.

Fullick said: “This championship means an enormous amount to both of us. To become the first all-disabled pairing to win a GT3 championship is something we're incredibly proud of.

“The standard in GT Cup has been exceptionally high all season, so to come away with the title is a testament to the whole Team Brit crew and everyone behind the scenes who have worked so hard to make this possible.

“For me personally, it's another reminder that disability doesn't have to limit ambition. We're proving what can be achieved when drivers are supported by a great team and given the opportunity and the technology to compete on equal terms.”

Fullick survived a life-threatening diving incident which left him with limited walking ability, reduced strength and difficulties with speech and communication, forcing his early retirement from military service. He later established his own vehicle restoration business and completed a number of fundraising adventures before losing his right leg in a motorcycle accident while touring in Wales in 2021.

Introduced to Team Brit through veterans' charity Blesma, he gained his race licence within weeks and has progressed from saloon cars to GT4 and now GT3 competition.

Mike Scudamore, team principal of Team Brit, added: “This championship win is more than a trophy. It is further proof that disabled drivers can compete and succeed at the highest levels of motorsport when barriers are removed.

“From grassroots racing to GT3 competition, we continue to demonstrate what is possible through determination, innovation and opportunity.

“As celebrations begin after a historic season, the focus remains firmly on the future.

“The GT Cup GT3 title is a landmark achievement, but it’s also another step closer to the ultimate goal: racing at Le Mans and changing motorsport for future generations.”
