Fancy getting your very own initials emblazoned upon a Le Mans car? Like the idea of helping out a good cause while you're at it? Of course you do.
Well, this year you can, since Brit Martin Rich, racing the Evora GTE for the Lotus Jetalliance team, is offering the opportunity to get your mark slapped onto his racing car in return for a donation to Macmillan Cancer Support.
As if tackling the Le Mans 24 hours as a non-professional racing driver in a pretty much brand-new car isn't daunting enough, Martin has decided to try and raise a whopping £100,000 for the cancer Charity in memory of his father.
"Competing at Le Mans has been a lifelong dream for me and I can hardly believe that I will finally get a chance to see it come true. It is simply one of the world's great motor races and the only one a non-professional still has a slim chance of getting to," says Martin. "And of course, for an Englishman, to do this as part of a Lotus-backed team is just incredible. I can't stop grinning every time I think about it!"
If you like the idea of getting your name on the first Lotus to enter the world's most famous race since the 1990s, then all you have to do is find the LeMans page on the
Virgin Money Giving website
, donate as little as £1 using your PayPal account if you have one and leave your initials.
But be quick, because if you don't donate by the end of the weekend, Martin won't be able to get your initials printed and on the car in time. But you can still help him to get to that £100k target.
Best of British, Martin - we'll be with you all the way come 11-12 June.
