Nicolas "Nic" Hamilton (born 28 March 1992) is a British racing driver from England who currently competes in the British Touring Car Championship. He races with a specially-modified car due to his cerebral palsy.
Hamilton made his racing debut in the Renault Clio Cup United Kingdom in 2011 driving for Total Control Racing. He attracted much fan and media attention despite finishing last in his first race. His first season was the subject of a BBC documentary entitled Racing with the Hamiltons: Nic in the Driving Seat.
Hamilton moved up to the European Touring Car Cup for 2013, driving a SEAT León Supercopa for Baporo Motorsport.
In 2015 Hamilton secured a deal with AmD Tuning to race an Audi S3 in five rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, becoming the first driver with a disability to compete in the series.
On 8 March 2016, it was announced that Hamilton would be part of Channel 4's Formula One presentation team.
He is the half-brother of triple Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton.
