They could bring more attractions and facilities to the town
A disabled British racing driver who was once told he might not ever walk again is now fundraising to compete in a 24-hour racing event at a Formula 1 track in Mexico after some successful races this year.
Half of the money would be for Mexico, with the rest for competing in events next year, including entry fee, renting a race car, and other associated costs, and he will raise the rest from his own pocket.When Jonathan was just four-years-old he tried to get into Go Karting and when he was six he enjoyed playing with his pedal and wheels on the Xbox. He hoped to go professional as a child, but couldn’t afford all the costs associated with it.
Doctors at Lincoln County Hospital at the time were unable to work out what was wrong with Jonathan, but he was told there was a chance he might not walking again. Jonathan said the hospital staff were all good, but he felt frustrated at not having answers. Jonathan knew he needed to get back into shape from being in a wheelchair and over the last year he is now walking again and lost 11.5 stone .
“I am still in immense pain, even today, and have been all my life. I have to do a lot of physio and exercises to manage it each day.”Jonathan has been competing in virtual sim racing at a good level, including against some professionals.
