HMS Helitank - Mission Motorsport's Tunbridge Wells 24 Soap Box Entry

The Tunbridge Wells Soapbox Stars Race is an annual race for amateur teams from a range of businesses, organisations and individuals. As one of four supported charities at the event, we thought it only right and proper to enter our own kart…meet HMS Helikart!

HMS Helitank, as we’ve named her, has been designed by a team of veterans and military spouses and aims to reflect the diverse range of veterans we support -including those from the Army, the Navy, the RAF and the Marines and is a combination of elements from various military vehicles.

Marking our debut at The Tunbridge Wells Soap Box Stars Kart Race, a team of willing volunteers will put HMS Helitank through her paces on the 22nd June at Dunorlan Park, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2 3QN from 11am onwards. There will be 3 waves of racing, with the fastest overall time being crowned the winner.

Alongside the racing, we’ll also be out in force with a stand at the event. This is your chance to find out more about the work we do, find out how you can get involved and of course, purchase MM Merch so you too can look as stylish as us!

By racing and featuring this innovative and eye-catching design, we aim to draw attention to our cause and inspire support from the public. If you would like to sponsor the kart, you can do so here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/mm-twkartrace24

If you would like to like to help out at the event, whether helping on the stand or forming part of the racing team, please get in touch and email volunteering@missionmotorsport.org
