Help Get Marco Back On Track

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Motorsport Enthusiasts,

We are reaching out today with heavy hearts to ask for your support in helping a talented and dedicated Formula Vee driver, Marco Lima-Marques, get back on track after a devastating accident at Round 4 of the State Championship at The Bend Motorsport Park.

What Happened?
During race 1, Marco was involved in a high-speed incident that resulted in a horrific crash. His car rolled several times, leading to significant damage, and unfortunately, it has now been deemed a total loss. As any motorsport fan knows, accidents like these are part of the sport, but they come at a substantial cost, not only to the driver but also to the team behind them.

Why We Need Your Help
The cost of motorsport is a reality few truly understand, and for a privateer driver like Marco, every race represents both incredible opportunity and incredible financial risk. The damage to his car is catastrophic, and with the necessary repairs or replacement being out of reach without external help, Marco’s future in Formula Vee racing is uncertain.

We’re launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise the critical funds needed to cover the costs of getting Marco back on track—both literally and figuratively. This includes replacing the car, ensuring safety gear is up to standard, and providing the necessary tools and support to return to competition.

How Your Contribution Will Help
Your generous donation will go directly toward the following:

  • Replacement or repair of the Formula Vee car
  • Cost of parts and labor to ensure the car is ready to race again
  • Safety equipment to ensure Marco's protection at future events

No contribution is too small, and every bit of support brings Marco closer to realizing his goal of returning to the track. Marco is a passionate, determined, and incredibly skilled driver, and with your help, he can continue pursuing his dream of competing at the highest level in motorsport.

The Impact of Your Support
Not only will your contribution help Marco get back into the driver’s seat, but it will also serve as a reminder that motorsport is not just about the cars and the races—it’s about the community. It’s about people coming together to support each other, especially in times of crisis.

Whether you’re a motorsport fan, a member of the racing community, or simply someone who believes in the power of helping others, your support means everything. Marco has always been grateful for the support of his fans, family, and friends, and now, in his time of need, he humbly asks for that support once again.

How You Can Help
Donate to the GoFundMe campaign (no amount is too small).
Share this campaign with your network, friends, and family to spread the word.
Send messages of encouragement to Marco as he prepares for his comeback!
We want to thank you in advance for your generosity, and we are beyond grateful for any support you can offer. Marco is determined to come back stronger than ever and continue competing at the highest level in Formula Vee racing. Together, we can help make that happen.

Thank you for your support
