Team BRIT’s Bobby Trundley to compete against racing legend Damon Hill

Wokingham racing driver Bobby Trundley will compete for Team BRIT in a charity karting event against racing legend Damon Hill.

Team BRIT will take part in this year’s Halow Project charity kart race which will take place at Sandown Park in Esher on Tuesday, July 13.

The community-based charity in Surrey supports young people over 16 with learning disabilities
on their journey into adult life, and the event in support of the charity will feature a host of teams.

This will include Hill, who is a patron for the charity and supporter of Team BRIT.

It was at this event back in 2018 that Bobby was discovered by former Team BRIT driver Warren McKinlay who spotted his talent on the track and subsequently introduced him to the team.

Bobby will return to the event this year to race alongside his teammates Aaron Morgan, Luke Pound, Andrew Tucker and Matty Street.

“We’re really looking forward to supporting this fantastic project, which is all about giving young people with disabilities the support and opportunities they deserve,” said Team BRIT founder
Dave Player.

“Damon Hill is a long term supporter of our team, and has followed Bobby’s journey for some time through their shared work around raising awareness of autism and similar conditions.

“For Bobby to return to race with his teammates as a race winning GT4 driver will be incredible.

“I hope we can share our story with other young people there to help inspire them to go after
their dreams.”
