Adam Christodoulou Invited to Participate in Celebrity Karting Challenge at Autosport International Show
After a championship winning 2009 season, British open-wheel star Adam
Christodoulou will kick off his 2010 race season as a participant in
the Celebrity Karting Challenge at the Autosport International Show at
NEC Birmingham on Friday, January 15th, joining Formula One World
Driving Champion Jenson Button, along with David Brabham, Allan
McNish, and Andy Priaulx in the charity race for Malaria No More.
“I am thrilled to be invited back to the Autosport International show
and for the chance to participate amongst some of the best drivers in
the world to raise money and awareness for the Malaria No More
organization,” Christodoulou commented. “The Autosport International
show is the world’s largest motorsports expo and is a great place to
meet the public, sponsors, drivers and allt he other petrol heads in
the racing world and I’m looking forward to making plenty of noise in
the live action arena.”
The Celebrity Karting Challenge is a unique event where members of the
public have the opportunity to race with and against some of the best
drivers from karting, Formula One, rallying and Le Mans. Twenty
teams, each comprised of four celebrity drivers and two drivers from
the public, battle it out for ninety minutes in front of 5000 fans
with the race broadcast on Radio Le Mans.
“I was fortunate enough to be on the team that won the karting event
in 2008 and was disappointed at missing the event in 2009 while I was
preparing for my season of racing in North America so I am looking
forward to this year’s event and racing for the top spot,”
Christodoulou revealed. “With drivers coming in from all over the
world to participate this year’s race is sure to be a thriller as
well.”

The event is organized by the Racing 4 Charity organization, which was
founded by sportscar legend and ex-F1 driver David Brabham and Bill
Williams, who leads Racing 4 Charity outside his job as a police
officer. The organization runs unique events within the motorsport
industry to raise money for a variety of UK charities, raising over
£300,000 for numerous worthy causes over the past 15 years.
