MISSION Motorsport, The Force's Motorsport Charity, teamed up with Subaru UK & Ireland to make lifelong ambitions come to life for charity beneficiaries.

Made possible thanks to the charity's accessible Subaru BRZ and the Destination Nurburgring experience, the trip allowed Mission Motorsport beneficiaries to tackle one of the world's greatest circuits.

The Subaru BRZ has been fully converted for track use and adapted with special modifications, allowing wheelchair users and those with lower limb disabilities to drive the vehicle using hand controls.

Mission Motorsport, the Force's Motorsport Charity, aids the recovery and rehabilitation of those affected by military operations by providing opportunities through motorsport and the automotive industry.

The "Destination Nürburgring" experience, an annual celebration for selected beneficiaries, was held at the end of July 2025 at the legendary Nordschleife.

The 12.94-mile undulating track situated in Germany's Eifel Mountains is widely considered the world's most challenging circuit. Each lap, a driver experiences elevation changes of nearly 1,000 feet and encounters more than 70 named corners such as the renowned Hatzenbach, Adenauer Forst and the iconic Karussell, each placing differing demands on the car and driver.

"It's been a personal and professional privilege to work with Mission Motorsport on this project." saidBrian Wheeler, spokesman at Subaru UK & Ireland"When I was first made aware of Mission Motorsport's Subaru BRZ project, it quickly became apparent what a difference this car could make to many of the charity's aims and beneficiaries. I'm pleased to say, the car ran perfectly on the most demanding track in the world, and to see the faces and reactions of those who drove it was so meaningful."

Steve Binns, a Mission Motorsport beneficiary, said, "I was fortunate enough to be a part of Destination Nürburgring two years ago, but as a wheelchair user, I was unable to drive and could only participate in passenger rides. Mission Motorsport, over the last two years, has constructed this amazing Subaru BRZ, with help from many contributors, which has been modified into a race car and fully adapted for users like me, enabling us to drive the car on hand controls."

He continued, "Now I'm back at the Nurburgring, with the Subaru BRZ and able to get behind the wheel and drive some laps, which was an experience that has been so life-affirming that it will stay with me forever. I've now ticked something off my bucket list that I thought would never be possible."
