BACK TO OUR ROOTS AT DAYTONA KARTING

BACK TO OUR ROOTS

AT

Team BRIT’s roots are firmly in karting. Our team was established as a growth of the charity KartForce, which supports injured military veterans with their rehabilitation and recovery through karting.

Our racing hand controls were developed from a simple set of controls, designed to be easily installed in karts to enable veterans with leg disabilities or amputations to race.

Karting will therefore always be part of our DNA, and our annual kart races for our sponsors never fail to turn into a day of super competitive, fast-paced fun.

This year, we held two events, hosted by our long-term supporters and partners Daytona Motorsport, where teams of sponsors and colleagues came together for 3 hours of endurance racing.

At each event, teams fight to complete as many laps as possible and also have the chance to try their hand as a team BRIT crew member in the pit stop challenge. Each team records the time it takes them to change the wheel on one of our racing cars.

21ST SEPTEMBER

Our annual insurance sector karting event welcomes teams from our title sponsor Brit Insurance, alongside teams from their partners and colleagues from across the industry.

17 teams entered this year, including teams consisting of our drivers and crew.

The top three insurance industry teams were as follows:

First place went to Swiss Re, followed by Amwins Global in second and BRIT Insurance in third. Each of the winners were awarded prizes from team sponsor Karcher UK. The Brit Insurance team also took the prize for the fastest pit stop challenge, scooping prizes from team partner Harrison Holgate. A lucky member of the Omnipay team also took away a Christopher Ward watch as part of the event raffle, which raised £950 for the Matthew Wilson Multiple Myeloma Fund. Matthew is former CEO of Brit Insurance and has been battling an extremely rare form of blood cancer. His foundation works to raise funds to support research into the disease.

Team BRIT Commercial Director Mike Scudamore said: “What fantastic events we held at Daytona Motorsport once again this year. It was great to welcome so many of our friends and sponsors for a day of karting fun. Daytona is where our GT4 driver Bobby Trundley learnt his craft, eventually becoming a 5 x karting champion, and the company is a long[1] term supporter of Bobby and entire team.

“The Team BRIT drivers certainly put our guests through their paces with incredibly competitive races. We were really impressed with the efforts everyone put in, especially with the pit stop challenge which saw some fantastic times being recorded.

“A huge thank you to Brit Insurance for sending along so many colleagues from within the business and the wider sector to our September event, to all our sponsors who supported both opportunities, and to Daytona for being such wonderful hosts. We look forward to welcoming everyone back next year!”
