Infiniti and ‘Support Our Paras Racing’ have revealed their Q50 cars and team that will enter the 2015 Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship.
The Infiniti team wants to 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.
Overseen by team principal Derek Palmer, the team will consist of a number of injured Paratroopers who will work on the cars. The long-term goal of the team is to develop, train and ensure an injured Paratrooper graduates through the racing ranks to pilot an Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing car in the future.
The team will field two NGTC Infiniti Q50 race cars in the BTCC next season, to be driven by Richard Hawken, winner of three championships at club level and tested for Speedworks in 2013, and Derek Palmer Jnr. Both drivers have raced successfully in Super Touring Cars in recent years.
“We’ve set ourselves a number of significant, but achievable targets. Of course we are aware of the challenges ahead of us, but with the united forces of The Paras and Infiniti, we believe we have the power to deliver results in the BTCC,” said team Principal Palmer
All profits generated by the Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing Team will be donated to the “Support Our Paras” charity.
