true heroes racing FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/SPORT_IP Become fuelled by . . . As a team sponsor to True Heroes Racing, they are a great team to be involved with and it would be a challenge to find anyone that says different. A side that isn’t well documented is their own selflessness and care of others. My young son, Tristan, is a huge supporter of True Heroes Racing and acts as ‘team runner’ for them during race weekends. Murray Hambro, a double amputee rider for the team, is a real inspiration to Tristan so when it was Tristan’s birthday, the whole team sprang a little surprise on him. They called him to the awning for a ‘job’, however on his arrival the whole team sang happy birthday to him and presented him with a replica Murray Hambro helmet and a huge birthday cake. Certainly a birthday to remember and all courtesy of Phil and the team, even I had no idea it was happening. The team really are True Heroes.

PS: My hope for True Heroes Racing is that we can continue to grow and offer more opportunities for injured Service personnel to get involved. I would also dearly love to be able to expand other aspects of the team to enable us to offer opportunities outside of the racing where injured Service personnel can get involved in all aspects of motorsport both on and off the track and hopefully be able to teach them new skills that could assist them with new career opportunities outside of the military. We also have an ambition to take True Heroes Racing to the top flight of motorcycle racing in the UK by fielding a team in the 48 Issue 08 Superbike class at the British Superbike Championships, but to achieve this True Heroes Racing would need to take the next step towards becoming a full time professional organisation with all the costs associated with this. The whole concept of what True Heroes Racing is about and what it is achieving has really got the public’s attention and support. Why not show your support, follow True Heroes Racing on Facebook and Twitter.
