Nicolas Hamilton is a semi-professional racing driver competing in the British Touring Car Championship for Team VERTU. He races a specially-modified car to accommodate his cerebral palsy. His career spans 11 seasons of BTCC racing from 2015 to the present, accumulating 193 starts in the national single-class championship.[1]

Hamilton has finished mid-field across his time in the series, typically behind the professionals and Silver-graded drivers who form the regular front-runners. His most frequent competitors, Adam Morgan and Aiden Moffat, both professional-level drivers with over 350 BTCC starts each, regularly finish ahead of him. Despite this consistent positioning, Hamilton has beaten established professionals including Ash Sutton, a four-time BTCC champion, and Tom Ingram, the 2022 and 2025 champion; he has finished ahead of each of them four times across their meetings. The 2026 season, still in progress, has seen him sit 31st in the championship standings through 28 rounds.[2]
