British racing driver and motivational speaker Nicolas Hamilton achieved his first ever podium in the BTCC Championship 🏎️🏆.

"My first BTCC trophy.

Yesterday, I achieved my motorsport dream, to stand on a BTCC podium as the winner of the Jack Sears Trophy. I am literally lost for words. This year I set my goal on winning a trophy, it's all I have ever wanted. To see what it felt like to walk up the podium stairs, which is a challenge in itself and hold my trophy high in the air and it felt even better than I could have ever of imagined.

From a boy in his wheelchair, told he may never walk, to walking onto the podium in the BTCC

I have worked my whole life for this moment. 18 years from when I decided to get out of my wheelchair and set my goal of being a racing driver. This moment means more than I could ever explain.

Thank you to absolutely everyone, all of those who have been a part of and are still a part of my journey, my sponsors, my team, my family, friends & even my doubters, you have all got me to this point & I am forever grateful, this is your trophy too!

Life goal" he wrote on his social media.
