Team BRIT is a motor racing team which aims to inspire people with disabilities, PTSD and mental health issues. The team consists of injured military service-men and disabled civilian drivers who compete on equal terms with able-bodied competitors utilising world-leading hand control technology. Team Brit aims to be the first all-disabled team to compete in the iconic Le Mans 24 hour race.
The teams amateur’s race in the UK Fun Cup Championship and there experienced drivers compete in GT4 events. For the first time ever in June 2018 team brit will make history by racing in the Aston Martin Le Mans Festival, a support race taking place before the world-famous endurance race on Saturday June 16th. This will make Team Brit the world’s first all-disabled race team to compete on the historic track.
At Carryway we have pledged our support to Team Brit, and this year have supplied them with a bespoke 4 seat electric Club Car shuttle buggy wrapped in Team Brit colours. The new e-powered buggy will be utilised by the Team for transporting drivers and engineers around the pits, towing goods trailers and providing disabled drivers with the ability to participate in pre-race track assets which would usually involve walking the circuit.
Carrryway delivered the electric buggy to Snetterton race track in Norfolk, on Thursday 7th of June as Team Britt were giving their Aston Martin Vantage GT4 car a final shake down prior to their trip to Le Mans.
CEO and Founder of Team BRIT, Dave Player said, “We were so pleased to receive our Carryway buggy yesterday. The incredible stories of our drivers mean that we receive a great deal of attention everywhere we go, and I’m sure our new Carryway buggy will attract even more interest as we travel around the country and the globe, making history race by race.
I would like to thank everyone at Carryway for such a fantastic donation – we look forward to showing it to our fans and race spectators throughout the year.”
Sarah Black, Managing Director of Carryway, said “At Carryway we are always looking for good causes to support, and when we learned of Team Brit’s requirements we were more than happy to help by supplying them with our custom 4 seat electric buggy. We hope the electric vehicle will be a great help to the team, and wish them all the best in the race season to come”.
