Three years ago, Ally Chalmers was standing on the podium after coming second in a national skiing competition. Just a fortnight later, he was lying in hospital, paralysed from the waist down after a devastating crash on the slopes.
Now 17, the Glasgow teenager has made history by becoming Scotland's first wheelchair-using racing car driver.
His Mini Cooper S has been specially adapted so he can use hand controls to accelerate and brake.
Ally recently raced in the Scottish Mini Cooper Cup at Knockhill in Fife, one of the UK's most respected club-level motorsport events.
It was his first proper race and he was named runner-up Driver of the Day.
