DONATE TO MISSION MOTORSPORT –
Join us live on the BRSCC YouTube as we present this year’s running of the 2023 Race of Remembrance at the Anglesey Circuit in Wales, in support of Mission Motorsport!
Seen as one of the highlights of the British motorsport calendar each year and providing a perfect way to bring the curtain down on the racing season, the Race of Remembrance is a special end-of-season event featuring a three-part, 12 hour endurance race with teams competing against one another across a number of classes, including a relay class for multi-car teams.
Racing begins on Saturday afternoon, running into darkness before being paused overnight. Resuming on Sunday morning, the race is paused again before 11am to allow all those in attendance to pay their respects and observe the honoured and traditional Remembrance Sunday service, which the entire event is centred and focused around. The final part of the race then begins with the winners being the team that finishes the race in the best combined race time on aggregate overall, as well as in their respective classes.
ABOUT MISSION MOTORSPORT – Launched at Thruxton Motor Circuit on 1st March 2012 in order to help those affected by military operations by engagement through sport, the Mission Motorsport charity recognised from the outset the astonishing inspirational and healing potential of sport. Motorsport is unique in that the disabled compete against the able bodied on a level playing field – there is no separate category for disability. Engineering allows us to adapt the vehicle, not the sport, and that leveller is a strong draw that the charity harnesses to help those who may be hard to reach – connecting them with amazing opportunities for second careers, beyond the military.
The Forces’ Motorsport Charity, whose motto is “Race Retrain Recover” is MoD’s competent authority for motor sport as a recovery activity, and is a Royal Foundation (the charitable trust of the Prince and Princess of Wales) and Endeavour Fund supported initiative. The charity’s dedicated career managers have placed more than 200 Wounded, Injured and Sick service leavers into employment since the inaugural Invictus Games in September 2014. Over 2000 veterans have found work through the charity’s programs.
