In case competing in an IMSA race at Laguna Seca isn’t hard enough, imagine what it’s like driving with only hand controls.

Well, that’s the reality for Robert Wickens, who races with paraplegia.

It's cool to see that you can still race–and win–having a disability like paraplegia.

Robert makes it seem so easy, but there's a lot of engineering that went into that setup and a lot of talent behind that wheel.
