How Mission Motorsport Made the Nürburgring Accessible—Subaru BRZ Track Car

Mission Motorsport joined forces with Subaru United Kingdom and Ireland to turn aspiration into action at the Nürburgring. Thanks to the charity’s track-prepped Subaru BRZ equipped with hand controls, wheelchair users and people with lower-limb disabilities finally took the wheel on one of the world’s greatest circuits. The car is fully adapted for track use, giving drivers precise throttle, brake, and steering control through the hand interface without compromise.

The team’s big day arrived during the “Destination Nürburgring” event at the end of July 2025. On the 12.94-mile (20.8 kilometers) Nordschleife, drivers faced close to 1,000 feet of elevation change and more than 70 named corners—Hatzenbach, Adenauer Forst, and the iconic Karussell among them. It is a place that tests confidence and character as much as machinery, which is why those first laps meant so much to every beneficiary who climbed in.

Getting there was not easy. After a hill-climb mishap at the Shelsey Walsh event, the BRZ needed repairs under a tight deadline. Subaru United Kingdom and Ireland rallied with partners to rebuild and revalidate the car so it would arrive in Germany ready to run clean laps. Support vehicles from Subaru helped move crew and kit, while two Isuzu D-Max pickups towed race cars and trailers—quiet heroes that made the whole journey possible.

What stayed with everyone were the faces coming off track—relief, pride, and that buzz you only get after conquering something that once felt out of reach. It is the power of motorsport used for recovery, rehabilitation, and community.
