Christopher Ward HQ hosts trailblazing all-disabled racing team in Maidenhead

A luxury watch company welcomed  Team BRIT, the world’s only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers, to its Maidenhead headquarters this week.

Bell Street-based Christopher Ward is a long-term supporter and welcomed drivers and specialist crew to a reception on Tuesday, gifting a bespoke team watch to mark the occasion.

Team BRIT continues to break new ground in motorsport, supporting drivers with physical and psychological challenges in accessing the highest levels of competitive endurance racing.

Team principal Mike Scudamore said: “Our mission has always been simple – to create a clear pathway for disabled drivers to compete at the highest levels of motorsport.

“What started as an idea to remove barriers has grown into a competitive racing team with genuine ambition to reach the top tiers of endurance racing.

“Partnerships like the one we have with Christopher Ward are vital because they go beyond sponsorship.

“They believe in what we’re building – not just the technology, but the opportunity. Together, we’re proving that disability is not a limitation in motorsport, and we’re determined to keep pushing boundaries in 2026 and beyond.”

Alongside six other drivers attending the event was Bobby Trundley from Wokingham, the world’s highest-ranked racing driver with autism and a key member of Team BRIT since 2019.

Bobby was diagnosed with autism at four years old, first discovered motorsport at age 10, and went on to become a five-time national karting champion before progressing into car racing.

The former student at Berkshire College of Agriculture has won four out of five races in his first year with Team BRIT.

He has since competed in championships such as the Britcar Endurance and British GT, achieving podium results and making history as part of the team’s first all-disabled driver pairings.

Bobby has also become an ambassador for autism awareness, sharing how motorsport has shaped his independence and career.

The 26-year-old said: “My journey with Team BRIT has changed my life – from being shy and lacking confidence to travelling the country racing competitively, sharing my story and mentoring others.

“I genuinely believe my autism is my superpower on the track, helping me focus and analyse every moment.”

Among the highlights of the visit was the latest addition to Team BRIT’s fleet – a BMW GT4 race car – alongside the team’s state-of-the-art racing simulator.

The simulator demonstrated the advanced hand-control technology that enables drivers with disabilities to race competitively on equal terms with able-bodied competitors.

The team’s drivers and specialist crew shared their personal journeys and outlined their racing plans for the upcoming season, and members of the public had the opportunity to meet them.

Drivers included Paul Fullick, a lower-leg amputee following a motorcycle crash; Aaron Morgan, who is paraplegic after a similar accident; and Asha Silva, who was diagnosed with adult autism and ADHD.

Mike France, CEO and co-founder of Christopher Ward, said they have supported Team Brit since 2022.

“At Christopher Ward, we like to think of ourselves as ‘challengers’ – but Team BRIT takes that to a whole other level,” he added.

“Our sponsorship isn’t just about putting a logo on a car.

“It’s a long-term partnership built around shared ambition and shared values.

“If we’re going to put our name next to something, it has to stand for something. And Team BRIT absolutely ticks that box.”
