Karting event held in aid of Help for Heroes

A karting race is due to be hosted in Nottinghamshire in a bid to raise as much money as possible for Help for Heroes.

Organisers have put together an event at the Kurburgring in Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, and it is due to take place on August 18th, reports the Mansfield Chad.

Each race will feature eight teams, and each of the teams will be made up of four drivers, with each member getting 15 minutes at the wheel before swapping with a team-mate.

There is a £20 cost per driver, and points will be dished out to competitors based on their lap times before a winning team is unveiled at the end of the day.

The only restrictions in place are that all of the participants need to be at least 16 years old and 1.5 metres in height, with all of the cash they raise going to Help for Heroes.
