We would like to point to a major charity auction in aid of the recently badly injured speedway driver Leigh Adams, who is father of two children. The auction runs currently on Ebay UK.
The auction was created by William's technical director Sam Michael and Norbert Ockenga, editor of Motorsport magazine Pitwalk and is supported by many participant of the international motorsport, for example the F1 Red Bull driver Mark Webber and our team principal Timo Rumpfkeil.
Leigh Adams is an Australian speedway rider, a 10 times champion in his country. He was junior world champion and long-time World Cup participant. And he's a good friend of Mark Webber, Sam Michael - the technical director of WilliamsF1 and pit walk columnists - and Norbert Ockenga, who is the editor of the Pitwalk Magazine and our partner.
In June Leigh Adams was seriously injured in Australia. It happens while a training run for a marathon motorcycle rally through the Outback. Because of that accident he had surgery in Adelaide for six hours on the spine. Although the procedure is fortunately succeeded, and Adams had already moved from the intensive care unit to a rehab clinic, it looks like the father of two children will remain paralyzed.
The auction for the benefit of Adams is now taking place on the English Ebay platform and offers unique and absolutely exclusive events and Merchandise from various racing series, as well as ride sharing in a racing car like the Team Motopark donated passenger ride on the racetrack Motopark Oschersleben in a Team Motopark Porsche 911 RSR race car and last but not least a self ride on the wheel of a Team Motopark Formula ADAC race car as the ultimate self-awareness under the guidance of our race engineers - also donated by Team Moto Park.
The complete proceeds of all auctions will be donated to the benefit of Leigh Adams.
Here you will find your way to the auctions:

Solid but not quite Good Enough
At the opening round of the Porsche Supercup in Turkey, both Team Verva drivers proved they belong to the leading group.
It took a big delay before the Porsche Supercup 2011 got underway. After the Bahrain Grand Prix had to be called off due to the uprising on the Gulf island, the world’s quickest one-make series had to wait until the European Formula One season started – in Arabia and Asia, in the Otodrom outside of Istanbul.
