A former karting champion is taking on a motorsport endurance challenge to raise funds for veterans.
Jamie Crease, 36, plans to compete in all 16 races in a day at the Access Karting Championship event at the Rowrah circuit in Cumbria, taking place from August 14 to 16.
This is the first time this has been attempted by anyone — requiring four separate karts — at a single event.
Mr Crease said: "The idea for doing this event has developed over a couple of years.
"Several people have raced two karts at a single event before, which was the original plan, but the Access Karting series has four different classes available for drivers aged 16 and over.
"So I thought, why not try and do all at the same time and raise funds for a good cause?"
He is taking on the challenge in support of Help for Heroes, inspired by his work as a safety case engineer and by family members currently serving in the armed forces.
James Purchase, director at Access Karting, said: "We're really pleased to be supporting Jamie in his challenge.
"As a member of our Hall of Fame, he is a great role model for anyone thinking about getting into motorsports of any kind."
