Nicolas Hamilton has worked as a brand ambassador for Phillips 66, ROKit, PUMA Group, OneStream Software, Rated People, and Jewson; a partner for Ark Build Plc, and NGK Spark Plug; a Handling Consultant for Slightly Mad Studios, and a Sales Consultant, and Business Development Manager for BigChange.

In 2011, Nicolas featured in the BBC documentary, Racing With the Hamiltons: Nic in the Driving Seat, which reached over 2.1 million viewers in a single night.

Nicolas published his debut book, Now That I Have Your Attention: 7 Lessons in Leading a Life Bigger Than They Expect, in 2024, which showed that with self-discipline and self-compassion, anyone can defy their limitations. The book ended up on three Amazon bestseller lists: Racecar Driver Biographies, Formula One, and Athletics Biographies.

RACING CAREER

After getting to a stage where he could walk unaided, Nicolas turned his attention to racecar driving. In 2011, he was given the opportunity to race in the Renault Clio Cup series, proving to himself and the world, that a disabled driver can be just as competitive in an able-bodied sport. In 2015, he became the first disabled driver to compete in the British Touring Car Championships and helped inspire both able-bodied and disabled individuals around the world. He took part in the championships again in 2019.

In 2020, he was confirmed as the fourth Team HARD driver in a Volkswagen CC and in Round 2 of the championship, he scored his first ever BTCC points. In 2023, he scored his best finish in round 1 of the Championships, finishing P6 and smashing his own personal record, further raising the bar for disability in British motorsport.

Nicolas is now a popular keynote speaker, representing the millions of disabled people around the world who don’t have a voice. He uses his platform to help young people embrace their potential, whether disabled or not.
