The team is composed of disabled drivers and currently (2024) competes in two British motor racing series, Britcar Endurance and Britcar Trophy, with the ultimate aim to race in 24 Hours of Le Mans The key element which allows physically disabled drivers to compete is the specially developed hand control system fitted to all the cars.
Team BRIT was formed as an offshoot of the charity Kartforce,[1] which provides military veterans with the opportunity to take part in karting events to support their physical and mental rehabilitation and recovery.
Team BRIT gives people with disabilities the chance to compete with able bodied drivers in national motor racing events.
From its inception in 2015 with a single small racing car and three former military disabled drivers, the team has grown in size and scope.
Chris Overend / James Whitley / Bobby Trundley / Aaron Morgan / Takuma Aoki finished 13th overall in the Motorsport Uk British Endurance Championship and 5th in class driving the Mclaren 570S GT4.
