Over the last five years, the event at the Harbury Lane centre has raised £10,000 for the charity.

Alan Lettis from Mr Karting said: “Everyone that takes part in this event has a great time and we’re thrilled to have raised this amount of money over the last five years.”

The air ambulance’s regional fundraising manager Sarah Wakeman said: “We are totally reliant on this kind of support and are very grateful. The money will really help save lives.”
