Late last year Will Gibney, a long term SELOC member, club Regional Liaison and former Lotus owner was diagnosed with Renal Call Carcinoma, an (as yet) incurable form of kidney cancer.

Last month Will posted up a Driving Bucket List thread of activities he’d like to try out, and encouraged others to post their thoughts and ideas. Unbeknownst to him the SELOC community took this list and decided to see what they could do to help, drawing on contacts and the generosity of the clubs members to see what they could do to help him achieve his goals.

This week, SELOC sent Will and his Dad to Barcelona to spend an afternoon with the Lotus F1 Team as they took part in pre-season testing ahead of the 2012 F1 season. Will has kindly allowed us to reproduce his write-up on the day.
