Hi guys,
Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.
I wanted to set this championship up to continue the fight against the Coronavirus and show our commitment to supporting our frontline staff.
I have invited BRDC Members to compete in a brand-new online racing series - The BRDC Esport Championship with iZone, starting on the 14th May. The initiative follows on from the successful half marathon undertaken by 40 BRDC members on the 18th April which raised over £35,000 for the NHS.
The BRDC Esport Championship will continue to raise much needed funds for NHS Charities Together.
Pitting all generations of BRDC Members against each other, from BRDC Rising Stars and BRDC SuperStars to international champions. Races will take place on iRacing, using an F3 car, with one contest each week, run to FIA rules and point scoring system and streamed live on YouTube so everyone can spectate.
The championship will begin on Thursday 14th May, with the first race taking place at Silverstone on the full Grand Prix circuit. Entrants will then compete at Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and Suzuka before the deciding race at Interlagos.
Entries will be limited to a maximum of 40 BRDC Members, BRDC SuperStars and BRDC Rising Stars. Thanks to iZone, coverage will be live-streamed with commentary provided by David Addison. Highlights will be released across social media. BRDC Vice-President Derek Warwick has agreed to be Chief Steward to ensure fair play.
Members wishing to take part are asked to donate a minimum of £50 for a slot.
We hope that you will support us in our fundraising activities for what should be some exciting virtual racing!
Thanks for visiting the page and I hope you can be involved in some way!
Stay home and stay safe!
