In that moment, everything you once knew, is transformed. Due to the breath taking new initiative by Stirling Motorsport Management, this is that moment. In partnership with the UK\u2019s most high profile charity \u2018Help For Heroes\u2019, the #RacingforHeroes motorsport team supports not only the promising careers of prominent young race drivers, but will raise both funds and awareness for our injured, wounded and sick veterans. This truly is a drive for real change, and it is happening right now. Welcome to the dawning of a whole new era in global motorsport.<\/p>\n<p>The extraordinary work of #RacingforHeroes has culminated in an unrivalled race outfit the spans the length of the TOCA package. The campaign will be spearheaded by an entry in the British Touring Car Championship, the ultimate touring test for any race team. If that wasn\u2019t enough, entries will also be made into the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, the Renault Clio UK Cup, the Ginetta GT4 Supercup and the MSA Formula Championship, the side dishes to the succulent main course that is the BTCC. Each car will be identically branded to create a strong message of both the dedication and importance of the cause they are supporting. One powerful brand has the strength to invoke awareness and active support from followers.<\/p>\n<p>The selection of future superstars of the racing world include Josh Cook, Josh Files, Tom Butler, Zac Chapman and Jess Hawkins. Alan Gow, the race director of both BTCC and TOCA believes that #RacingforHeroes finds its strength in its multi-dimensional qualities,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><i>\u201c#RacingforHeroes is not only supporting a very worthy cause but it is also helping to develop promising young racing driver talent in the UK &#8211; a Win Win for all involved.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/R4H_Group_shot.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4766\" alt=\"R4H_Group_shot\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/R4H_Group_shot.jpg\" width=\"639\" height=\"447\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>TOCA is the largest race-based event across Europe, while #RacingforHeroes is by far the biggest team within TOCA; therefore one might say that #RacingforHeroes is the most significant motorsport operation across Europe.

With such a dominant presence, it will further one of the central aims of the team; to one day have a team made entirely of veterans to run, engineer and race an entry in the BTCC.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Thorpe, the founder of #RacingforHeroes will lead the team to what will be a fruitful future,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><i>&#8220;#RacingforHeroes was designed to change the way partnerships in Motorsport work, my vision was to maximise the outcome of a sponsorship engagement for all involved while offering a truly remarkable reason to be part of it. Being able to offer companies such a multi beneficial opportunity for their PR and marketing platforms, support young British Racing talent and support the recovery of our wounded, injured and sick veterans does just that. A marketing platform anyone can be proud of.\u201d<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This concept of \u2018relationships\u2019 is a fundamental component to #RacingforHeroes; through the relatability and personal nature that the team express, it can truly bring forward the message of support for those veterans that have been injured serving their country in combat. From their media inception, #RacingforHeroes will be looking for both brand partners and sponsors to join the project throughout the 2015 motorsport campaign and beyond. Potential partners will be directly responsible for supporting the wounded through motorsport, a truly unique platform for engagement and unparalleled involvement. The #RacingforHeroes package combines supporting young drivers towards a fruitful motorsport career, direct investment that has a particular focus on donation to \u2018Help for Heroes\u2019, the emotional vision of bringing careers and happiness to wounded veterans, extensive media exposure and benefits including charitable partnership status and faultless track side hospitality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/R4H_Drivers.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4772\" alt=\"R4H_Drivers\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.privatefleet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/R4H_Drivers.jpg\" width=\"620\" height=\"420\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bryn Parry, CEO and Co-Founder Help for Heroes believes that the inspirational vision of #RacingforHeroes comes down to the integral relationship held between Stirling Motorsport and \u2018Help for Heroes\u2019,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><i>\u201cWhen Stirling Motorsport approached us with the exciting idea for #RacingforHeroes, we knew immediately they shared our passion and \u2018can-do\u2019 attitude.
