What an amazing feeling to be next to one of the most iconic cars in F1.
If anyone into motorsport this is one of the best places you could ever visit.

Last week, we were invited to an incredible Rare Founders event at Silverstone. 💚

Being surrounded by so many kind, successful and genuinely down to earth people gave us even more confidence to take the next step in our fight against bullying.

And this weekend, we’re finally revealing it. 👀

We have a HUGE announcement coming something we genuinely believe could make a difference to children and families for many years to come.

Our dream is massive…

We want to help wipe out a generation of bullying across the UK.

Sounds crazy? Probably. 😂
Sounds impossible? We’ve heard that before.

Thomas has carried the words “Never let anyone ruin your dreams” for years.

He was once a little kid dreaming of becoming a racing driver. Despite everything thrown at him along the way, he made it onto the grid. 🏁💚

Now we’re taking that same determination and putting it into something much bigger than racing.

There’s also someone we REALLY want to thank right now the incredibly kind man who owns the factory helping us make this happen.

We’d love to tag his business and give him the recognition he deserves… but if we did, it would give far too much away about the surprise! 😂🤫

So for now, he’ll have to remain a mystery.

Not long to wait…

This weekend, the next chapter of Words Do Hurt begins. 💚

💚 Great to support our local community! 🏁

What a fantastic evening at Durham Brewery for the Hot Rod Car Show.

As always, our little Words Do Hurt promo car did exactly what it’s there to do getting people talking, raising awareness and spreading an important message. 💚

We also had a really interesting conversation with a local school teacher about what we’re working on next… 👀📚

More on that one later. 🤫

04/10/2026

🥊 WE’RE ABOUT TO START A HUGE FIGHT… AND IT’S ONE WE BELIEVE WE CAN WIN. 💚

In less than 6 days, we’ll be revealing the next phase of our mission to help stamp out bullying across the UK.

And we’re making the announcement at Brands Hatch during the BTCC weekend! 🏁

If you’re attending with children, make sure you come and find us. We’ve got something very special planned and we’d love as many families as possible to be part of it.

With around 50,000 spectators expected across the weekend, it’s the perfect place to launch the next chapter of Words Do Hurt.

We don’t want to give too much away just yet…

But let’s just say…

👀 We don’t think you’ll be able to miss us. 💚

6 days to go. 🏁

🏁💚 LET’S SEE WHO REALLY KNOWS T’POT! 💚🏁

No cheating! 😂

☕ Question 1
Why do you think Thomas got the nickname “T’Pot”?

💚 Question 2
Why is Thomas’s racing colour and branding GREEN?

🏎️ Question 3
Why does Thomas get extremely excited every time he overtakes someone? 😂

💨 Question 4
Who is better at drifting… Catherine or Thomas? 👀

💪 Question 5
Thomas has three sisters… but which one actually beat him in an arm-wrestling contest? 😂
Sorry, Thomas… we had to include that one! 🤣

Hope you all have a brilliant day.

💚 HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE! 💚

💚 COULD THIS IS THE MOST POWERFUL CAR IN BRITISH MOTORSPORT?

Not because of its engine.
Not because of its speed.
And not because of the person behind the wheel.

It’s because the children who are sadly no longer with us are the real strength behind this fight. 💚

Their names will be honoured. Their stories matter. And their legacy can help amplify the very real consequences that hurtful words and bullying can have.

We want their names to continue helping others making people stop, think twice and understand the impact their words can have.

If this car makes just one person think before posting a cruel comment…

If it encourages one child to speak up…

If it helps one family realise they are not alone…

Then it is doing something far more important than simply racing.

These children are the heroes.

Thomas just drives the car. 🏁💚

Come see us at Brands Hatch BTCC.

WORDS DO HURT.

30/09/2026

We are starting a project next week that will make a huge impact on many family’s across the uk.

We will be making an announcement at Brands Hatch BTCC. If anyone is planning on coming please drop a comment below also make sure to come and see us.

The car will be on show for children to sit in along with some of the other BTCC cars displayed along side it.
We will have activities for the children and more importantly revealing something very social.

Mental health. Stress. Anxiety. The pressure of everything that comes with this journey.

This kid has been through the lot. 💚

And that’s why people like Stuart Hill are such an important part of what we’re doing.

Stu is a professional coach who dedicates his time to helping Thomas, asking for absolutely nothing in return other than seeing Thomas doing well and watching the Words Do Hurt campaign continue to grow.

We were all completely blown away when he turned up at Silverstone with his van in a FULL Words Do Hurt livery. 💚🖤

What a gesture.

Some people probably don’t realise just how much weight Thomas carries on those young shoulders.

We never put pressure on him to win trophies 🏆, set fastest laps or pull off insane overtakes.

For us, simply seeing him on that grid is a win.

Because Thomas knows what those names on his race car represent. They are real people and real families who have trusted us with their stories. He knows that every time he goes racing, he’s carrying their message with him:

You are not alone.

Getting to the last round was also a huge financial struggle, and that brought stress Thomas simply didn’t need.

That’s where Stu comes in.

He sits with Thomas and talks. Not just about racing, but about whatever Thomas needs to talk about.

After Race 1 at Silverstone, Thomas opened up to Stu and admitted that mentally he had struggled and explained some of the concerns he’d been carrying.

That conversation mattered.

Because shortly afterwards, Thomas went back out there…

…and at one point set the fastest lap of the race. 💚🏁

We value Stu as a key part of this journey and we’re incredibly grateful for everything he does for Thomas and Words Do Hurt.

And we have some more brilliant news…

WE’VE MADE THE BUDGET FOR THE NEXT ROUND! 🙌💚

Thomas WILL be at Oulton Park on 17th October, and we’d love everyone local to come along and support him.

For this one, we have to thank every single person and company who supported the banner, along with our now-famous “Mr Anonymous”.

His support genuinely brought us to tears.

It means Thomas gets another chance to put that car on the grid and carry those names with him.

There is still work to do. The car has picked up quite a bit of damage that needs repairing, the suspension may need servicing and there are other costs to deal with hopefully the engine won’t need a refresh too! 🤞😂

So we’re still inviting companies who would like to get involved and join us for the final round of 2026.

And we’re almost ready to start some very exciting conversations about 2027… 👀

But for now:

Silverstone ✅
Oulton Park — WE’RE COMING. 💚🏁

Never let anyone ruin your dreams.

This post is dedicated to Catherine Potter Racing for having the courage to speak out about something happening within the BTCC community.

It’s a controversial subject following last weekend’s round at Silverstone, and people will naturally have different opinions.

But one thing shouldn’t be controversial:

Personal attacks on drivers, teams, mechanics or anyone involved in our sport are never acceptable.

As many of you know, Thomas’s social media is managed by us as his parents, with help and support from his big sister Catherine.

We know first-hand just how damaging words can be.

If his dream was to become a BTCC driver but wasn’t as quick as everyone expected. That’s ok we don’t know his personal circumstances. Catherine genuinely likes the previous driver and actually misses him been in the paddock same as Thomas does. They have the uttermost respect for all drivers.

Many years ago, this sport almost broke our son. He was even asked to end his own life 😔

What happened was awful, and there were times when we genuinely wondered whether Thomas should continue racing.

But incredibly, this very same sport also helped rebuild his confidence and gave him the strength to keep going. 💚🏁

We will always be grateful to the people who went that extra mile for a little boy who was struggling including Jenson Button Chaz Mostert and the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team

And now Thomas wants to use what happened to him to help other children.

At the Brands Hatch BTCC, we’ll be making an announcement that represents a huge next step for Words Do Hurt.

Thomas’s promotional car will be behind the grandstand, giving children the opportunity to sit inside it add names and families the chance to learn about the campaign, our journey and what we’re trying to achieve.

Across the window of that car are words Thomas has carried with him for years:

“Never let anyone ruin your dreams.”

The dream now is much bigger than racing.

🌍 Our dream is to help put a stop to bullying and not just in motorsport.

WORDS DO HURT. 💚
