This Paralyzed Race Car Driver Is Tearing It Up on the Tracks

The world's only quadriplegic female race car driver is tearing up the track. Nathalie McGloin was paralyzed from the chest down in a car accident at the age of 16. In 2015, she became the first woman with a spinal injury to receive a racing license in the UK.

McGloin drives a Porsche with customized controls that let her brake and accelerate with only her hands. The 35-year-old has multiple Top 10 Porsche Club Championship finishes and hopes to compete in wheelchair events at the Paralympics at Tokyo 2020. Off the track, McGloin focuses on her charity, Spinal Track, which introduces drivers with disabilities to competitive racing.
