A man born without arms has had his first taste of life as a racing driver, after taking his newly adapted race car out on a circuit for the first time.
Callum Smith, 23, was spotted by recruiters at Team BRIT earlier this year, but it has taken several months to adapt a race car for him, adding a steering wheel that can be controlled with his feet.
Now the rookie driver has had his first opportunity to take the car out for a spin at Donington race circuit and said the "raw emotion" of the day was "just completely different to how I had it planned out in my head."
"I don't think there's too many words to describe the feelings and the sensations of it all", Smith added.
Paul Fullick is Team BRIT's GT3 driver and was in the passenger seat for the track day giving advice on the circuit and car.
