There's a very special karting event happening later this month at the brilliant Daytona Karting circuit in Milton Keynes - the Forget Me Not 500, raising money for the Forget Me Not Childrens Hospice, organised by Porsche racing driver, Tim Sugden.

The event is a 2hr endurance karting event featuring some famous names from the world of motorsport - namely Johnny Cocker, Rob Bell, Tim Sugden and James Walker.   The karts themselves are pro-machinery, see the Daytona website for more info.

What's more, you can get yourself into a team and take part too - for the bargain price of £500 you can enter a team (of up to 6) and compete against real racing drivers at a great circuit and raise money for a good cause at the same time.  The race begins at 12.30pm on October 30th 2011.

Some of the famous names include:

  • Jonny Cocker – American Le Mans Series, former Asian Porsche Carrera Cup Champion
  • James Walker – Ferrari Le Mans Series and Formula Renault 3.5 race winner
  • Rob Bell - Ferrari Le Mans Series – won last race
  • Tim Sugden – ex BTCC, now races Stock Cars and at Le Mans

More details are in the flyer and you can contact margaret.sugden[at]hotmail.co.uk (01274 861 338) for more info or to book your place.
