From Wheelchair to Race Car: Robert Wickens takes on the World’s Toughest Street Circuit

In 2018, a horrific crash at Pocono nearly ended Robert Wickens’ life—and seemingly ended his racing career. He suffered a double spinal cord fracture, multiple broken bones, and a severe pulmonary contusion. By the end of that year, Robert revealed he was a paraplegic. But Robert Wickens is not like most people. This is the story of a man who refused to be defined by the crash that changed everything. Through unwavering determination, incredible resilience, and the cutting-edge technology of Bosch Motorsport, Robert set his sights on an unthinkable goal: to race again at the highest level. This isn’t just a story about recovery—it's about rediscovery. About holding onto your identity, chasing your dreams, and proving that hope can overcome even the most impossible odds.
