My name is Andrew Eldridge and I’m passionate about inclusivity. I believe that representation matters.

I see a future where it is unremarkable that a person in a wheelchair, or a person with a neurological condition, or a person with an amputation, or a person with any other type of condition, is racing alongside everyone else. If they’re safe on the track, and an external observer can’t tell their physical condition from outside the car, let them race!

I’m a well-aged, amateur motor racer who races one-handed. My challenges in decreasing order of significance are age, talent and limb loss. I have some experience racing karts in the 90s, but I began circuit racing only a few years ago in a Radical SR3. I use modified shift paddles, so up and down shifts can be done with one hand.

By contributing to this project, you will help turn around the perception that physically challenged people can’t do motorsport. You will help improve the participation rate. You will help to show that disability is compatible with exhilarating, physical activities. I look forward to your support, and I thank you for it. Andrew.
