Basingstoke racing driver Aaron Morgan has secured yet more silverware following his latest race with Team BRIT in the British Endurance Championship.

Aaron, who is paraplegic following a motocross accident, is a driver for Team BRIT - the world’s only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers.

On Saturday, August 10, Aaron and his teammate Paul Fullick, who is a lower leg amputee, finished third in class in the fifth round of the championship. The pair took part in qualifying during the morning, placing them in 3rd for the start of the endurance race.

Aaron began the race for the pair and was quickly facing challenge as he picked up a puncture early on, after another car made contact.

The Team BRIT crew had him back out super fast, and Aaron gave it everything, bringing the team up to P1.

Paul took over, driving incredibly but unfortunately picking up a ‘stop-go’ penalty, pushing them back down to third.

Their podium finish continues a fantastic performance so far this season, including a P2 at Silverstone in June and a P1 in April.

Paul and Aaron compete using the team’s innovative hand control technology, which enables them to race on equal terms with able-bodied competitors.

This weekend’s performance leaves the pair 5th overall in championship points and 2nd in their class.

Aaron said: “I made the most of difficult conditions in qualifying to put us third on the grid for the race. The crew made some changes to the car before the start of the race which gave me confidence in gaining positions. With the car immediately feeling better I made a great start getting into P2 on lap one. I then set about catching the class leader and by lap 4 was right on his tail. I went for the move on the inside of turn 1 but got hit by the other car, leaving me with a puncture.

“The crew changed the damaged wheel in double quick time, but I also had steering and electric issues to deal with for the rest of the stint. This made the car difficult to drive but I did my best to drive round them as its all extremely valuable lessons for the future. Overall, it was a bit of a frustrating weekend as I felt we had the pace to win, but this was prevented by the damage sustained. As a team, we did our best to drive our best race regardless of the car issues and bagged a well-deserved place on the podium.

“It was great to see the BMWs also receive great results on Sunday too.”

Aaron races again at Snetterton on September 14.
