The event, which took place last month, saw teams of Bellway staff, subcontractors, and suppliers race around the tracks of Daytona Milton Keynes to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
Since 2017, the housebuilder has raised over a million pounds for the charity nationally, and has been working hard to increase awareness about the charity across its regional divisions.
