Good morning, race fans!

Just a quick reassurance message from us after a number of sad and worrying reports of a local Lightning being involved in an accident.

It was not our McQueen involved, and he is very happily and safely on the road this morning, so please do not worry if you are expecting us soon!

More importantly however, we hope that no one was hurt in the incident, and that everyone involved (including Lightning) make a full and easy recovery. And we do invite them to please reach out if they need any help at all in the meantime, to have him race ready again!

Stay safe out there ❤️⚡️
