Help Josh Baird to replace his rally car

Hi, I'm a friend of Josh's.

Yesterday, Josh was competing at the Down Rally—a local stage rally that means a lot to him. Sadly, midway through the event, he experienced every competitor’s worst nightmare: a fire broke out in his car’s engine bay mid-stage.

Josh pulled over immediately, but despite his quick reaction, the fire took hold fast. Within moments, the car was completely engulfed in flames and beyond saving.

Later that day, a few of us went to recover what was left of the car. It was only then that the full extent of the damage became clear—nothing could be salvaged. Josh is now left with the heartbreaking reality of starting over from scratch.

Josh truly embodies the spirit of club-level motorsport. He’s always the first to lend a van or trailer, offer his time, or help a fellow competitor, no questions asked. Now it’s our turn to give something back.

We’ve set up this fundraiser in the hope of helping Josh rebuild and get back out on the stages where he belongs. Whether you can spare a few pounds or simply share this page, every bit of support means the world.

Thank you for reading—and thank you for your support.
