Slaughter offering co-drivers seat for charity

- CALENDAR BTRDA Rally Series

James Slaughter will offer one lucky person the chance to co-drive on the Brands Hatch Stages in the Motorsport News Circuit Rally Championsh­ip in January with the aim of raising money for charity.

The Englishman is hoping to raise in excess of £2000 for charity, and will give his co-driver the choice of the classic Ford Escort Mk2 or his British Rally Championsh­ip Ford Fiesta R5.

Slaughter is raising money for the Heart of Kent Hospice.

“It’s our local charity, the Heart of Kent Hospice, which offers care for terminally ill people.” Said Slaughter. “We raised £5000 for them in the summer when we held a music festival in our garden and had some classic cars there too. So we wanted to raise more money for them again.”
