Justin Wilson eBay Charity Auction Launched

1 Mins read

A charity auction that hopes to raise over $1 milllion in the memory of Justin Wilson has been launched today at http://stores.ebay.com/Celebrity-Charity-Auctions/JustinWilson-Memorial

Proceeds from the auction, which will run for the next six weeks, will go to the Wilson’s Children’s Fund, which was created after the death of Justin Wilson on August 24th.

The first lots on the auction are 19 race helmets, including those worn by the majority of the field during the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series finale at Sonoma Raceway.

A host of other lots will go live over the next few weeks, including race-worn driving suits from across IndyCar, Nascar, WEC and Formula 1.

More information on upcoming auction items can be found here.

Fans can also donate directly to the Wilson family fund at: http://justinwilson.co.uk/donate
