24-Hour Kart Record Attempt

UK driver Lloyd de Boltz-Miller will attempt to set another 24-hour karting record next week as he raises funds and public awareness for spinal cord research.

After a successful year of fundraising in 2009, during which he set European and British 24 Hour kart records, the Norfolk-based driver has teamed-up with the Wings for Life charity and is aiming to break the World 24-hour kart record.

The attempt will take place at the Whilton Mill circuit in Northamptonshire, with the clock starting at 10am on Thursday September 30 and running straight through to 10am the following day.

“After setting the British and European records last summer, this autumn sees me going for the big one" Lloyd said. "Last year was an incredible experience and a great success, but this time round I’m better prepared."

Pace-setters will used to ensure that Lloyd maintains the required lap times to take the record.

For those wishing to stay for the duration of the attempt, they will be welcome to an overnight BBQ and party. A selection of racing cars and automotive exotica will also be on display, whilst prizes and gift bags are up for grabs throughout the event.



* Wings for Life invests directly into spinal paralysis research programs, with a focus of finding a cure for spinal injury.  With more than 2.7 million paralysed patients worldwide and over 130,000 new cases each year, they see it as vital to push forward and develop new treatments.
