Isuzu UK is proud to support Mission Motorsport, the Forces Motorsport Charity, in their latest trip to the iconic Nürburgring circuit in Germany, which took place at the end of July. The charity, which helps wounded, injured, and sick service personnel and veterans to rebuild their lives through motorsport, relies on dependable vehicles to transport their adapted race cars, and the Isuzu D-Max was the perfect partner for the job.
The trip, one of the highlights of the charity’s calendar, offered beneficiaries the chance to reconnect with their passion for motorsport, experience the thrill of the track, and enjoy camaraderie with fellow veterans. As part of the event, Mission Motorsport was using the Subaru BRZ Rebuild Project, a crash-damaged coupe that has been carefully rebuilt, adapted to be fully operational by hand controls only, and made race-ready thanks to support from Subaru UK.
With the requirement for reliable towing vehicles to get the BRZ sports cars and equipment to the Nürburgring and back, Mission Motorsport turned to Isuzu UK for support. Answering the call, Isuzu UK provided two of its award-winning pick-ups, the Isuzu D-Max DL40 and V-Cross, both equipped with a robust 3.5-tonne towing capacity and advanced Trailer Sway Control to ensure the precious cargo arrived safely and securely.
George Wallis, Head of Marketing at Isuzu UK, commented: “We’re honoured to play a role in supporting Mission Motorsport and their incredible work in helping veterans to recover and retrain. The Nürburgring trip is a truly inspiring event, and it’s great to see our dependable D-Max pick-ups contributing to such a worthy cause. We wish the team all the best on and off the track.”
Mission Motorsport operates under the motto “Race, Retrain, Recover”, helping service leavers, veterans and their families transition into civilian life and employment through motorsport-related activities. In partnership with the Royal Foundation, the Ministry of Defence, and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, the charity’s Mission Automotive initiative has already helped thousands of veterans into new careers in the UK automotive industry.
James Cameron, CEO of Mission Motorsport, added: “The Nürburgring trip is one of the standout moments of the year for our beneficiaries. It’s not just about the racing, but also about rebuilding confidence, forging friendships, and celebrating what’s possible. We’re immensely grateful to Isuzu UK for providing the D-Max pick-ups to tow our vehicles and equipment, ensuring that our team and cars could get to the Ring safely and in style.”
