A motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the chest down in 1999, but Jason Watt he didn't wait long to continue his racing career — in 2002 he would win the Danish Touring Championship with a specially adapted car.
He was one of the first to receive the Ford GT in Europe, as we have already reported, and of course, to enjoy it, he also adapted it. And now, it doesn't even look like the same GT, highlighting the new “wrap” of a sponsor, participating in events for charity — in the video everything is explained point by point.
We can see him taking the Ford GT to the Nürburgring circuit, with luggage… and a wheelchair attached to the roof with powerful suction cups. And it allows you to see how the entire adaptation mechanism of the super sports car works so that it can only be driven with your hands. It wasn't with “knife in the teeth”, but a possible comeback remains in the air to achieve a record for a disabled engine.
The video, written by the well-known Misha Charoudin, is long — we started with the car entering the circuit — but it is worth watching from the beginning.
