BT Motorsport are pleased to announce an alignment with the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust. Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust is a charitable trust which runs an invaluable air ambulance, and search & rescue service for the people of the Taranaki region. BT Motorsport are making this commitment to give back to a province that has provided us with a playground to enjoy the sport we are so passionate about. We are a strong supporter of the Trust for providing this service where minutes could be the difference between life or death across our wide geographically challenged region, that is not easily accesible by other emergency transport modes.
“Taranaki is a dynamic and diverse area with the region’s new brand defining Taranaki as ‘like no other’ reflecting this unique quality. This blend of natural beauty, attractions and activities offers something for everyone, all year round. But when accident or medical emergencies happen, the attractions of the province can become major hurdles for emergency services. The availability of a helicopter allows large areas of the Taranaki district (and beyond if necessary) to be reached without delay, facilitating rescue operations and ensuring the sick or injured get the right medical attention at the right time.”

We are kickstarting this association with a fundraising drive, with the help and support of our major component supplier Roger Clark Motorsport. RCM have kindly donated a scale model of their Time Attack winning car the ‘Gobstopper’ signed by proprietor and driver Olly Clark. Olly stormed to 3 consectuitve ‘Ten of the best’ wins between 2007 and 2009, plus two Time Attack Championships in 2008 and 2009 driving the ‘Gobstopper’, possibly the most extreme and exciting modified car ever built in the UK. Aptly named as it silenced all critics with its performance. With a limited edition of 1,000 units being produced this model will become timeless like the ‘Gobstopper’ itself.
The highest bidder on the signed model will also get the opportunity to join BT Motorsport in a hot laps session at Hampton Downs raceway on the 6th of April 2012 at the penultimate round of the NZ Time Attack series.
All proceeds from this fundraising initiative will go to the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust.
On an ongoing basis a percentage of any sponsorship funds received by BT Motorsport will be donated to the Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust, as well as ongoing donations for future campaigns and activities.
