MARIE Curie Cancer Care has teamed up with Prestige Indoor Karting of Colne to stage a sponsored six hour karting endurance race.

The event takes place on Sunday, February 27, and organisers are looking for drivers to book their places on the grid.

They will take a driving seat in the very latest kart, a Honda GX200 and negotiate one of the most demanding tracks in the country.

Fund-raising assistant Ruth Livesey said: "Karting is suitable for everyone and no prior experience is needed, you don't even need to be a good driver - just come along and join the fun."

For a free information pack or to register for the event, contact Ruth on 01257 450555.
