Disabled Drivers Conquer Spa's Thrills

Two drivers from the world's sole competitive all-disabled racing team have realized their ultimate ambition of competing on a renowned European circuit. Noah Cosby and Asha Silva, representing Team BRIT Racing, recently raced at the famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. Cosby, who sustained a T6 spinal cord injury resulting in paralysis from the ribs down, and Silva, diagnosed with ADHD and adult autism, described the experience as 'surreal' and 'overwhelming.'

Cosby, previously paralyzed after a motocross accident, emphasized that such injuries would not prevent him from pursuing his passion. He found that shifting to a different form of motorsport, allowing for a level playing field, was crucial for his mental recovery. For Silva, the intense environment of a racetrack, often overwhelming due to loud noises and strong scents, paradoxically becomes a sanctuary inside a race car. It is the only place where her brain silences, allowing her to focus entirely on the race.
