As part of Autism Awareness Week, we talk to Team BRIT driver, Bobby Trundley.

21-year-old Bobby was diagnosed with severe autism as a child and it had a major impact on his time at school. When he was 10 he was invited to attend a go-karting birthday party.  Despite initially wanting to run away from the situation, which to him was scary and unsettling, he was encouraged to take part, and from that moment motorsport changed his life.

Bobby won the race at the party that day and went on to become a 5 x karting champion.  He has won numerous awards for supporting autism awareness and is an ambassador for the Anna Kennedy charity. 

He joined all-disabled Team BRIT in 2019 and in his first year won 4 out of his 5 races for the team.  He is now the team's fastest driver and will be racing its Aston Martin V8 Vantage GT4 in the Britcar Championship this year. Bobby calls his autism his 'superpower' on the race track and shares his story to help other people realise the positives that can come from the condition.
