We’re excited to announce that for the first time in our history, we’ll be taking a team of drivers to compete in the United States of America as part of an exciting new collaboration project with US partners.
In November 2025, GT4 drivers Aaron Morgan and Paul Fullick will compete in the Veterans Race of Remembrance at Virgina Raceway, teaming up with US-based Resilience Racing drivers, Jon Winker and Adam Poppenhouse.
Jon, the team manager and co-founder of Resilience Racing, is a retired US Army Infantryman who became a left below-knee amputee following an accident while serving in Iraq in 2009.
Adam is a retired US Army tanker who became a double amputee after his vehicle struck an IED in Iraq in 2006.
The four will be driving an Aston Martin GT4, supplied by the Skip Barber Racing School which we will fit with our hand controls.
Kirk Dooley, the team principal and co-founder of Resilience Racing is a retired US Marine intelligence and special operations officer with multiple deployments including Iraq, and Afghanistan with Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC). He also currently serves as the director of the INDY NXT Series.
The race takes place from the 7-9 November over the US Veteran Remembrance Day, and honours the service and sacrifice of military veterans, whilst providing a platform for recovery through motorsport. Our team will compete in a 12-hour multi-class endurance race across two days. Other races taking place include Radical World Finals and the Ford Mustang Cup.
After the race, our hand controls will remain fitted to the Aston Martin GT4 to ensure Resilience Racing can support more disabled drivers through their work. The team, which is run by volunteer veterans provides racing opportunities for those injured in service.
Our team has provided advice and support to Resilience Racing in recent years, including connecting them with engineering experts to develop their own hand control solutions.
Team BRIT Principal Mike Scudamore said: “This is a huge moment for us, and a project that has been in the making for many years, originally conceived by Team BRIT Founder Dave Player.
“Our roots are within the military, having originally been formed to support injured veterans, and our vision has always been to spread our message far and wide and to share our technology and learning globally. This opportunity brings all of this together, and provides our drivers, and those within Resilience racing with the chance to come together to represent everything that is so powerful about inclusion in motorsport.
“This wouldn’t be happening without the support and backing of the Skip Barber Racing School – one of the largest and most successful racing schools in the world. Their car, equipped with our controls, and driven by a fantastic team of drivers, will be a special moment in our history.
“Our thanks also go to the many sponsors that have helped turn this dream project into a reality for us, including BRIT Insurance, Adrian Flux, Christopher Ward, Odyssey Battery and SHD Composite Materials.”
Jon Winker of Resilience Racing said: “Bringing Resilience Racing and Team BRIT together in this way, during what is such an important weekend of the year for us, well be truly special. We have learned from Team BRIT’s years of work in motorsport to develop our own solutions and provide a range of opportunities for injured veterans here in the US. Coming together to fly the flag for disability racing is an opportunity like no other and we’re looking forward to showing the world just what’s possible for disabled racing drivers.”
Kirk Dooley of Resilience Racing said: “Competing alongside Team BRIT at the Veterans Race of Remembrance marks the culmination of longstanding relationships with both Team BRIT and Skip Barber Racing School, who have been with us since the very beginning.
“We are profoundly grateful to them both — from Team BRIT’s steadfast guidance and mentorship, to Skip Barber Racing School’s extraordinary generosity over the years with cars, tires, training, and now an Aston Martin. Their support not only enables Resilience Racing to compete in this event but also creates new opportunities to advance our mission at an exciting new level.”
Al Locke, Engineering Director at Team BRIT, said: “This project has been a long time in the making, and it’s a privilege to play a part in bringing it to life. Earlier this month, I headed to the US with some of our technical staff to fit our hand control system to the Aston Martin GT4 – technology we’ve refined over years to integrate seamlessly with modern GT cars, giving disabled drivers full precision without compromise.
“The fact that these controls will stay with the car to support more drivers through Resilience Racing and Skip Barber Racing School makes this a milestone that goes far beyond one race, and something we’re incredibly proud to contribute to.”
