The Le Mans 24 hour race is one of the most demanding races on the motorsport calendar. Imagine trying to complete it with a disability? Team Brit is a motorsport team made up of injured British serviceman, and they're trying to become the first disabled team to compete in future Le Mans races. One of the drivers, Warren Mckinlay, suffered brain damage in a motorcycle accident and subsequently developed a rare mental illness in which the affected person believes they're a walking corpse. Caroline Barker spoke to Warren about Le Mans and his recovery. Picture credit: Warren McKinlay (Press People)
