www.gpfans.comHere’s a quick update on Nicolas Hamilton.
- Latest public reports indicate Nicolas Hamilton has been active in BTCC circles, including efforts to secure a drive for the 2026 season, though as of early 2026 he had not yet secured a full-time grid slot. This continued pursuit follows his return to BTCC in the 2025 season after a prior hiatus, including a notable incident where a fire affected his season end at Silverstone in 2025.[1][2][3]
- In early 2026, there were ongoing discussions and social-media posts about sponsorship and funding to support another BTCC campaign, described as a “one final push” to remain in the championship.[2]
- His broader profile remains that of the first disabled BTCC competitor in history (cerebral palsy), with ongoing advocacy and motivational work alongside racing commitments, including a 2024 Sky News feature highlighting his inspirational aims.[4][7]
If you’d like, I can pull the latest pieces from those sources or search for any new developments specifically about 2026 BTCC entries, sponsorships, or race results.
