MAYDAY MADNESS

Pretty good days racing!

Qualifying went well, learnt more about the car, gained more track experience and am building friendships too!

Finished 18 of 20, but had a lot of good action. 1st Race best time was 1:30, did a 1:30 in qualifying, then in the race I beat a VVC metro off the start line, stayed in front of him all race, and put in a 1:27! Team reckon the car as is can do a 1:25, without certain upgrades. So pretty good!

HOWARDS DAY

Well, despite all the time and efforts of Grant Motorsport over the last few weeks to get the car built and tested (including 24 hours straight on Sunday trying to get it ready), it wasn’t ready in time for qualifying, so I had to start from back of grid. But, the car felt great, and I can already feel the potential in the car! Having said that, despite not having any testing/qualifying, I finished 16th out of 24, which I’m very proud of.

During the race I improved my best lap time by just over 10 seconds, finishing with a 1:30, the car will now be tested to evaluate how much progress can be made before upgrades become necessary.

The car feels amazing to drive, and there’s more development to come from the car, already optimistic about the next race!

A racing driver with cerebral palsy has taken another step to realising his motorsport dream – by completing a testing session on a race track.

Chris Carter, 35, from Evesham, Worcestershire, is hoping to secure a championship drive for next season, but will need to secure £15,000 in sponsorship.

Chris, who spent Monday at Castle Combe Circuit, in Wiltshire, hopes his determination to succeed will inspire other disabled people.

Evesham racer Chris Carter dreams of motorsport glory
A racing driver is dreaming of motorsport glory – and is refusing to let cerebral palsy dent his hopes.

Chris Carter, 35, from Evesham in Worcestershire, has been spending time with the BTC Norlin Racing team at Donington Park in Leicestershire.

Another team has offered him a test drive in November, and he could secure a drive for next season if he can secure £15,000 in sponsorship.

Disabled racing driver driven by determination

Have you ever dreamt of racing cars? Maybe you’ve thought about it but immediately dismissed it because of your disability? Well Disability Horizons writer Christopher Carter, who has cerebral palsy, certainly hasn’t. In fact, it’s made him more determined to achieve his goal of becoming a disabled racing driver.
