Hamiton to race a Renault

[bishbash]

Looks like Nick Hamilton (Lewis's brother) is going to race in the UK Renault Clio Cup, Good on 'im I say. He always seems like a nice bloke when he's on the telly supporting Lewis. Lets hope Lewis can find some time to go and watch him race.

Good luck to him.....although I think the clio cup might be a tad tough on a kid who's never raced before?

He'd have an easier time in stock cars.

Gonna be chearing him on as my 7 year old nephew suffers with the same condition may take him along to watch he deserves it been through some major surgery for a kid but at least he can stand now.

[MiniMadMike]

[woof]

It's already been proved that proper simulators do.

Interesting news. Good luck to the lad.

I am interested to see how this works out, especially as I had a friend at school with CP. I dont know that much about the condition but my friend used to have terrible spasms, is it a disease that improves with age or have there been new treatments developed in it?

Met him when we were both testing club100 karts last yr....very nice guy indeed and i hope it goes well. Suspect its more for fun than to establish a career, hopefully the critics can remember that.

[brierleys]

He was quickest in a celebrity charity indoor kart race a year or two ago.

Wish him the best of luck.

The Clio series looks fun but when I've watched before there seem to be a few accidents, always looks like half the skill is staying out of trouble

[scubadude]

Who'll be the first tw*t to say- "Who do you think you are, Lewis Hamilton?" :-)

Good luck to him, can't have failed to pick up a few tips of his brother, even if it only was on the Playstation.

I'll be amazed if he doesn't. Nick is a friend of my son's from RC racing and on several occasions Lewis has turned up to support his brother and regularly phoned him to 'see how he was doing' on race days.

Good luck to him in his move to 1:1 scale motorsport

Wish him all the best .
