Terry Fullerton from West London was aspired to race at the top of Formula 1, but the emotional pain of his family after his brother, Alec passed away in a motorbike incident during a race at Mallory Park in 1964, caused him to limit his activities to karting. When he was just 16, Fullerton qualified, but was not selected by his British team to take part at the Karting World Championship in the year 1969. Because he was also able to compete under an Irish licence, he competed in the World Championships in 1969 and 1970, but was unsuccessful. When he was in 1971, he started to race on his British licence and placed 4th at the World Championships that year. He would go on to become the very first Briton to take home the title in 1973.
Fullerton took home The British Junior Karting Championship in 1966 as well as 1967 and 1968 and he has a total of eight British Championship wins in a 20-year career dedicated to only the sport of karting. He also took home the European Championship four times during his time.
At a press conference at the 1993 Australian Grand Prix, when asked which driver he had the most satisfaction racing against, Senna cited Fullerton. The quote was included in the Senna documentary in 2010.
