Nicolas Hamilton will return to the British Touring Car Championship in 2025 as part of an expanded three-car line-up at Un-Limited Motorsport.
The 32-year-old will partner Dexter Patterson and Max Hall in a CUPRA Leon at the Kent-based team.
Hamilton has made more starts in a CUPRA than any other car and last raced in the BTCC in 2023 before leaving mid-way through the season at Croft.
The racer, who has cerebral palsy, has made 138 starts in the BTCC, finishing inside the top fifteen on two occasions, with a best result of sixth in a rain-affected race at Donington Park in 2023.
“There is a place in motorsport for disabled people to feel valued and accepted in multiple roles within the sport, and I want to open people’s eyes to that,” said Hamilton.
“I want to continue to prove that motorsport is for everyone and that racing can be a platform for opportunity and inclusivity.
“Un-Limited Motorsport and my partners believe in what I stand for, my talent, and my purpose. If I can be accepted, then so can others with a disability.”
Team Principal Bob Sharpless is proud that Hamilton has faith in his young team, which was only formed at the last minute ahead of the 2024 season, when it ran a single car for Daryl DeLeon and impressed throughout the year.
“It’s fantastic to have Nic Hamilton join Un-Limited Motorsport,” added Sharpless. “He’s hugely determined to get back on the BTCC grid, and I’m proud that we could make it happen.
“Nic is not just an incredibly well-known driver—he’s an inspiration worldwide. The fact that he’s put his trust in our team speaks volumes about how far we’ve come in such a short time.
“We’re excited to support him on this journey and can’t wait to see what we achieve together.”
