BBC Children in Need – TRC 24 Hour 2022
This year will be the 13th TRC event in support of BBC Children in Need since we started in 2006. To date, it has resulted in the generation of well over £60,000 for the charity – A huge testament to the spirit, commitment and generosity of the participating teams and their supporters over the years.
An annual event for charitably minded race fans – It’s a great test of driver skill and team management as drivers race through the night. Yes, that’s right, the entire event is run just like the real thing. Starting with final practice and qualifying Friday lunchtime, team briefing with Q&A, race start 3:00pm, racing through the afternoon into the sunset, through the evening and into the depths of night, eventually feeling the warmth of the morning sun, then the final push through the day and on to the chequered flag at 3:00pm. After 24 hours of non-stop racing, everyone then has a little breather whilst we collate the final fund raising totals ready to present along with celebrations for the winners!
In the last couple of years, we have made a huge investment in new equipment and software to take this already awesome experience to another level. Despite this, there is no increase in the entry fees which remain at the massively subsidized £300 Per Team. Whether you’ve done this before or not, there has literally never been a better time to get involved. The entry fee is your contribution to the cost of the “fun”. When fundraising you can be clear that you and TRC have covered the costs of the activity, and anything that your friends and family donate is going directly to BBC Children in Need via Just Giving.
Team Sizes – We find teams of 3-6 drivers work well, but really it’s up to you (It has been done solo!). Our main tip is that you have a team where everyone has a similar level of commitment. You don’t want 5 drivers who all attend the practice sessions and one driver who turns up on race day not even knowing the basic circuit layout!
Once you’re booked, just let us know your desired Team Name and the address for your team’s JustGiving page. This will fully secure your place and qualify your team for the discounted practice rates at any sessions you choose to attend prior to the main event.
It’s a fantastic motorsport event in support of a very worthy cause. Entries are welcome from Real Motorsport Teams, Teams of Friends, Family Groups, Local Businesses, and anyone else wishing to do something different in support of BBC Children in Need.
Following the success of the 2021 event, we’re opening registrations for 2022 earlier than usual. At this stage, you can pay in full (£300) or reserve a team slot for just £50. For those just paying the £50, as soon as all slots are sold or reserved we’ll be in touch to give you first refusal to secure with full payment.
Call 023 8026 9927 with any questions or simply <Book Now> to secure your entry and worry about the details later.
