Historic motorsport victory for MK team with a unique twist

Team BRIT secured the 2026 GT Cup Championship GT3 class title at Snetterton

A Milton Keynes-based motorsport team principal is celebrating one of the most significant achievements in his organisation's history after leading a groundbreaking team of disabled racing drivers to a landmark championship victory.

Mike Scudamore, Team Principal of Team BRIT, has overseen another history-making season for the team, culminating in drivers Paul Fullick and Jamie Falvey becoming the first all-disabled driver pairing ever to win a GT3 championship.

The pair secured the 2026 GT Cup Championship GT3 class title at the final round of the season at Snetterton last weekend, marking a major milestone for Team BRIT and bringing the team one step closer to its long-term ambition of becoming the first all-disabled team to compete in the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Based in Milton Keynes, Mike has played a key role in the growth of Team BRIT, which has spent the last decade breaking down barriers in motorsport and creating opportunities for disabled drivers to compete at increasingly higher levels of the sport. Under his leadership, the team has developed a pathway that enables drivers with a range of disabilities to progress from grassroots racing through to endurance racing and GT3 competition.

This year has proved to be one of the team's most successful to date, with the GT3 title serving as a powerful demonstration of how disability-focused innovation, engineering excellence and sporting talent can combine to deliver success at the highest levels of motorsport.

The championship-winning BMW M4 GT3 shared by Fullick and Falvey incorporates pioneering technology developed by Team BRIT's engineering team, allowing two drivers with different requirements to compete in the same car without compromise.

The adaptive system enables the car to switch seamlessly between a conventional pedal-operated setup and a bespoke hand-throttle configuration, ensuring both drivers can perform at their best. The technology forms part of Team BRIT's wider mission to remove barriers for disabled people in motorsport and beyond.

Alongside this year’s debut GT3 entry, the team has fielded two GT4 teams, beginning the season in the Britcar Endurance Championship before moving over to the GT Cup, and has supported a rookie driver in his first year of racing in the Snetterton Saloons Series.

The achievement is all the more remarkable given the inspiring backgrounds of the team's championship-winning drivers. Former soldier Paul Fullick, from Hampshire, races after losing his right leg in a motorcycle accident, while former Royal Marines Commando Jamie Falvey, from Nottinghamshire, competes with permanent tinnitus following hearing damage sustained during military service.

Mike said: "This championship win is more than a trophy. It is further proof that disabled drivers can compete and succeed at the highest levels of motorsport when barriers are removed.

"From grassroots racing to GT3 competition, we continue to demonstrate what is possible through determination, innovation and opportunity.

"As celebrations begin after a historic season, the focus remains firmly on the future.

"The GT Cup GT3 title is a landmark achievement, but it's also another step closer to the ultimate goal: racing at Le Mans and changing motorsport for future generations."
