Big thank you for the amazing support and for raising 10,000 pounds for spinal cord research 🙏
A big thank you to everyone who helped raise more than £10,000 for the incredible work done by @wingsforlife at the 2024 Noah Charity Kart Race. As per the previous edition of the race, there was some fantastic racing talent from F1, F3, F4, GT racing, international karting and club racing battling it out on track with more inexperienced drivers who had the opportunity to race against drivers they had watched on TV including Mark Webber! Thanks to Buckmore Park Karting for providing fast karts and for facilitating a great day. And thanks to Andrew Ogilvy for the great pics. We look forward to the 2025 race. @initializeracing
