We get injured troops racing to show the world what being British means.

Story

Please help me raise funds so I can help my team race in the famous Le Mans 24hr Karting Race in France – Sat 6 & Sun 7 July 2013.  This is one of the top races in the Prokart calendar.

 

We’ve entered our team of 5 drivers – 2 x double amputees, 2 x above knee amputees and 1 x 75% burns (and shot twice).  This will be the first time a team of only injured troops will have raced in such a prestigious event so we need your support to ensure we everything we need to be able to perform to our best.

 

We’ll be taking our own kart and will need the support of an experience Prokart mechanic to prepare the kart and provide trackside support during the race.  We have ferry crossings to cover, accommodation, fuel & tyres of the kart and race entry fee (£1,750).

 

This race will help us show drivers from all over Europe that “You don’t need all your limbs to race – just British Bulldog Balls!”

 

 

Thank you for your support.

We introduce British injured troops to team endurance racing, starting with karting and progressing to car racing. They compete in mainstream racing against teams of non-injured drivers - on a totally level playing field, regardless of injury. They take part in races from 2hrs to 24hrs.
