Formula One Lewis Hamilton's younger brother is set to follow in his older sibling's footsteps.

Nick Hamilton, 19, has cerebral palsy but has not let that get in the way of pursuing his dreams and be an inspiration to others.

Last week he passed his MSA Competition National B racing licence and is due to test ahead of the season start at Brands Hatch in April.

He will take part in the Renault Clio Cup for Total Control Racing, which is the UK's premier one-make saloon car series and the starting block for drivers for the British Touring Car Championship.

Nick said he realises it will be no easy task but he hopes to inspire others who face challenges in their lives.
