Story

We are a team of 5 looking to raise some money for Children in Need, whilst having fun doing a 24 hour endurance race at The Race Centre in Chandlers Ford.

We'll be driving around Suzuka in a racing simulator against 9 other teams for 24 hours, switching drivers at pit stops, ensuring we don't run out of fuel or wearing down our tyres too much, driving through the night (it gets dark on track as well as in real life!) and back into dawn and into the day. The event starts Friday 15th at 3pm and ends on the Saturday at 3pm.

Of our team of five - 2 have never done it before and they are from Chandlers Ford, 2 are from Bath and have done it once or twice before, and one is from Cardiff who's done it a few times.

Our drivers are

Henry Hanham

Ben Sparks
