Last week, we celebrated our 10th anniversary with a charity event on iRacing – and you guys turned up in droves to show your support, making donations to Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital in order to either take part in one of of the two races, or to enter a competition to win one of a number of awesome prizes.
The races went brilliantly, with Jack Godden and Alex Robisnon the class winners of the GT race at Silverstone, with Formula 3 driver Enaam Ahmed winning a star-studded F3 event at Laguna Seca which included two-time F1 champion Emerson Fittipaldi.
The donations kept on coming throughout the stream and we smashed through our initial goal of £10,000. In the end, we raised a fantastic £16,208 for the hospital.
10 years of @wtf1official celebration.
Went side by side with @emmofittipaldi through the corkscrew.
£15,500 raised so far for @RBandH.
