Just Hands Racing: A worthy cause

Hopefully kosher to post this here, completely unsolicited, just figured this is worth passing around to the kind of folks here who are passionate about this hobby.

At LRP yesterday, I happened to set up in the paddock next to Torsten Gross (who kindly shared his tent with me on a dreary, rainy day), sporting a sweet Lime Rock Edition E92 M3. Dude's a quick driver (comfortably sub-1:00), and an awesome guy. But notably he's quick without the use of his legs, due to suffering a spinal injury decades ago. His E92 is outfit with hand controls, and Torsten recently started a foundation, Just Hands Racing, to help other people experience on-track driving with hand controls when needed.

If you've got some extra cash, this seems like a great place at which to throw it....

It's so goddamn inspiring seeing people not let things get in the way of doing what they love… and doing it well nonetheless. Gets me off my excuse making lazy ass.
