Crawley: Mission Motorsports Veterans Karting Championship

We'd  love to invite members of the Armed Forces community to take part in the Mission Motorsport Veterans Karting Championships, in partnership with TeamSport Karting.

While the name might sound a bit formal, this series is all about fun, connection, and some friendly competition out on the track! Whether you’d like to join us for one event or several, you’d be most welcome. And no previous karting experience is needed—just come along and enjoy.

Mission Motorsport, the Forces’ Motorsport Charity, supports the recovery and rehabilitation of those affected by military service by offering exciting opportunities in motorsport and the wider automotive industry. It’s all about helping individuals regain confidence, build new skills, and have a great time doing it.

Attached, you’ll find a flyer with all event locations and dates. Registration is now open for all rounds—you can sign up via the links below or simply use the QR code on the poster.
