Lewis Hamilton's younger brother Nicholas is working with an all-disabled racing team hoping to contest the famous Le Mans 24 Hours race this year.
Team BRIT is hoping to progress up the endurance ladder with two former British servicemen who were injured on active duty. Martyn Compton was badly burned when his tank took a direct hit in Iraq, while Ash Hall -- also a silver medalist in the Invictus Games founded by Prince Harry -- lost both legs from an IED explosion in Afghanistan.
Hamilton, who has cerebral palsy and this year will race in the British Touring Car championship, helped launch the team's new racing academy on Monday, which is aimed at getting more disabled people in motor racing.
