A Fernwood racing driver is preparing for a year of GT3 racing with a history-making racing team that supported his early career.
Jamie Falvey will be racing for Team BRIT this season — the world’s only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers — a team that helped him learn his racecraft, before he went on to become a championship winner.
Jamie, a former Royal Marine Commando, is returning to the team to race its recently-acquired GT3 in the GT Cup Championship.
Since its formation in 2015, Team BRIT has been dedicated to revolutionising disability motorsport, breaking down barriers, and proving that nothing is impossible.

Over the past decade, the team has progressed from entry-level racing to competing on the international stage. It has won a national championship and taken championship class wins, and supported disabled teams overseas, while developing cutting-edge hand control technology that has opened doors for disabled drivers worldwide.
Jamie joined Team BRIT as a driver in 2017, competing in the Aston Martin Le Mans Festival in 2018.
He moved on to professional racing, becoming the 2018 Caterham 270R champion and a multiple race winner in the 2020 Ginetta GT4 Supercup Championship.
Since 2021 he has supported the team in the role of driver coach, and in 2024 he competed in the Michelin Le Mans Cup in the LMP3 Class in 2024, with Team Virage.
Jamie served in the Royal Marines Commandos to the rank of lance corporal. He was medically discharged after sustaining hearing damage, resulting in permanent tinnitus that he experiences every day, and which curtailed his career in the military.
The move to GT3 racing for Team BRIT represents not only a leap forward for the team and its drivers, but also another step toward its ultimate ambition — becoming the first ever all-disabled team to compete in the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Jamie will pair up with Paul Fullick, who is a lower leg amputee after a motorbike crash. He has been with the team since 2022, and has progressed rapidly from driving a BMW 118i, to competing in a McLaren 570S GT4 this year.
Jamie said: “I’ve been racing for many years now, but I never forget where it all began — and that’s with Team BRIT. Back in 2017, having been discharged from the Royal Marines with hearing damage and forging a new career in fitness.
“I knew I was passionate about motorsport and needed a team to believe in me and give me a chance. That’s what happened with Team BRIT and it was so formative in the years that followed. I’m returning to my racing roots and I couldn’t be happier.
“The team has grown incredibly since then, becoming so much more competitive as it carries on towards its Le Mans dream, so to be able to come back at this important part in their story is really exciting and something I feel really privileged to be part of.
“This team has always shown that it should be taken seriously, and has proven so without doubt. I can’t wait to get back out with them again in 2026, driving such an impressive car.”
