Charity team CHF500 join the 24hr grid
Team CHF500 (Children’s Heart Federation) are running a Porsche 968 in the Dunlop 24hr, the vehicle first raced with us in the 2007 Britcar 24hr. This is a charity team, all proceeds and sponsorship will be going to the Children’s Heart Federation. The teams aim is to raise a £24,000, £1,000 for every hour that they race.
There are four drivers racing that all have a connection to the car; Paul Follett and Jonathan Evans, both previous owners of the car and have raced in the Porsche Club Championship, Jonathan is also a trustee of the Charity. Alex Eacock of EMC Motorsport, who originally built the car and the fourth driver, Ben Demetriou who trained Paul and Jonathan, is a previous Porsche Club Champion in a Porsche 968.
The Children’s Heart Federation is dedicated to helping children with congenital, or acquired heart disease and their families in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. CHD (Congenital Heart Disease) is the most common birth defect in the UK, thousands of babies are born each year and hundreds develop a heart condition at some point after birth.
