Robert Wickens, a professional race car driver, finished second in a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in September. Despite the disappointment of not winning due to contact with another driver, Wickens and his co-driver, Harry Gottsacker, maintained their lead in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge’s Touring Car standings. With one race left, Wickens chose to focus on their 20-point lead rather than dwelling on the frustration. After four weeks, Wickens and Gottsacker celebrated their championship victory at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. This achievement was especially significant for Wickens, who had overcome a paralyzing crash in 2018 to return to racing and win championships. His determination and focus on constant improvement and progress helped him make a successful comeback using hand controls in the same racing categories as before. Wickens’ comeback was not only unpredictable but also predicted, as he had previously discussed his plans to race with hand controls during his recovery.
