Premium car manufacturer Infiniti and Support Our Paras Racing have revealed the Q50 race car and team - to be known as 'Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing' - that will be entered into next season’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
The aim of the team is to specifically help raise awareness and funds for Support Our Paras, the official charity of The Parachute Regiment, one of the most iconic Regiments in the British Army.
The team, overseen by Team Principal Derek Palmer, will consist of a number of injured Paratroopers who will work on the cars to prepare them not only for race weekends, but also maintain their maximum efficiency throughout the hectic schedule of a BTCC season.
The team has also set itself the ultimate long-term goal of developing, training and ensuring an injured Paratrooper graduates through the racing ranks to pilot an Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing car in the future.
The two Infiniti Q50 race cars will be driven by Richard Hawken - who has won three championships at club level and tested for Speedworks in 2013 - and Derek Palmer Jnr. The team will be operating out of a newly-refurbished HQ at Mallory Park.
