MISSION MOTORSPORT ANNOUNCES SEVENTH RACE OF REMEMBRANCE

7th March 2020 – Mission Motorsport, The Forces’ Motorsport Charity, is today announcing the return of one of its most popular events, ‘Race of Remembrance’, to be held once more at the spectacular Anglesey Circuit in North Wales on 6th – 8th November 2020.

Now in its seventh year, Race of Remembrance has built up a reputation as one of the key events in the UK racing calendar. The commemorating event now attracts a host of celebrities from the world of sports and media, professional and amateur racing drivers, and, most importantly, servicemen and women, veterans and their families from across the UK. During the three day event, 45 teams compete in a 12 hour endurance race with more than 120 drivers competing against a stunning backdrop of mountains and sea, continuing into the night as the skies turn dark.  

The off-track activity ensures a fun and social event for all, but in the true spirit of the charity the event is not just about racing. At 10.45 on the Sunday morning everyone will stop and gather on the racetrack for a very special remembrance service, supported by a military wives choir and attended by hundreds of service men and women, veterans, their families as well as civilian supporters. 

This year, the event falls 75 years since the end of World War II and once again provides a unique and very special way of remembering all those affected by military service.  

 Despite its name, the racing element of Mission Motorsport represents a very small percentage of the charity’s work. Supported by some of the largest automotive manufacturers, military charities and many other key sponsors, the team co-ordinates and provides motorsport as a recovery activity for military personnel. Once engaged the real work begins, the charity is a certified provider of training and helps its beneficiaries gain the qualifications they need to return to work. The team then acts as Relationship Managers to the industry, securing vocational opportunities for the wounded, injured and sick, supporting the charity’s mission to: 'Race, Retrain, Recover'.
