My buddy Mark and I have been autocrossing together for 5 or 6 seasons. He's one of my favorite people in the world, an incurable car nut to his core, just one of those guys who is always smiling and upbeat and is one heck of an autocross driver to boot. I'm proud to call him a friend. He also happens to be a C6-7 quadrapalegic who races using hand controls. He mounted his camera inside the car this weekend; check it out and prepare to be amazed and inspired:

He digs the 818... I've planted the seed that maybe we should find an automatic transmission WRX to serve as a donor and I'll get to work building his next auto-x car ;) What do you all think?

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing the video. "Inspiring" is an understatement.

I agree Jeff: amazing and inspiring! I'd like to know who developed those controls. He seems to have excellent modulation besides obviously being a very talented driver on his own. Congrats Mark! Hope you get to do that in an 818. Good luck, WEK.
