Young child smashes lap time record at renowned Goodwood Motor Racing Track

In a thrilling display of determination and speed, eight-year-old Alyssa from London set a new pedal car lap record at the prestigious Goodwood Motor Circuit. The annual Revival Settrington Cup pedal-car race saw Alyssa pedal her way to glory, leaving the previous record in the dust.

Alyssa's record-breaking run was an impressive 10 minutes faster than the previous pedal car lap record, with a time of 31 minutes and 51 seconds around the 3.8km track. The young racer started her lap with a fast pace, receiving cheers from the crowd, and pedaled as fast as she could, knowing each corner brought her closer to the finish.

Alyssa's pedal car was expertly prepared by Austin Pedal Cars. Despite the midday sun, Alyssa seemed undeterred, focusing intently on the track ahead. As she raced through the chicane, her lap was met with loud applause, marking her as a true champion.

This remarkable achievement was not just a testament to Alyssa's athletic abilities, but also her charitable spirit. Alyssa's run was to raise funds for Mission Motorsport, a charity that helps military veterans recover through motorsport. So far, she has managed to raise over NZ$17,000 for the cause.

The fundraising will continue through to the Goodwood Revival event in September, giving Alyssa more opportunities to make a difference. Alyssa described her lap as the hardest and most fun thing she has ever done, a sentiment shared by all who witnessed her incredible feat.

The foundation sponsored by Alyssa was not explicitly named in the search results, and no specific event date related to such a foundation is provided. However, Alyssa's record-breaking lap at Goodwood Motor Circuit was 3.5km longer than the famous pedal car race, making it a truly remarkable accomplishment.
