Ever wondered what it is like inside a race car? Well, on Saturday October 15, you can find out first-hand. Thomas Raldorf of the Pizza Company/CEA race team is bringing a couple of the team’s race cars to Bira, and we are joining the group with the Securitas Mk1 Ford Escort Retro race car.
Thomas Raldorf dreamed up this charity event, and all moneys raised are going to purchase motorcycle helmets for poor schoolchildren. As we all know, motorcycle accidents are very common in Pattaya, and children can be injured. Broken legs and broken arms heal very quickly, but broken brains do not. However, the severity of head injuries is so much less if they are wearing helmets.

The ‘fast taxi’ drives start at B. 500, and I can guarantee you that you will get an experience you will talk about for the rest of your life. All safety precautions will be carried out, and you will be strapped in a race seat, complete with helmet. We have run these events before, and I can assure you on the safety angle, as well as the ‘thrill’ angle. You won’t regret it, and at the same time making sure a disadvantaged child is protected.
The event takes place at the Bira Circuit on Highway 36 on the Saturday morning 8 a.m. until noon, and the kind people at Bira have donated the track hire for this worthy cause.
