Land Rover BAR has completed its Sport Relief challenge, a 24-hour grind-athon and 12-hour disco spin-athon hosted at the team HQ in Portsmouth.

During the challenge, the team’s Tim Carter manned a grinding pedestal solo for 24-hours, travelling 519km and burning 19,326 calories.

More than 60 team members supported Tim with a 24-hour relay across two grinders while four Royal Navy rugby players took on the 24-hour challenge in grinding shifts on a fourth grinding machine.

DJ, Rob da Bank and spin gurus, Tim Weeks and Sal Nidai encouraged 607 participants to become active in a supporters’ disco spin-athon.

So far the team has raised more than £6,000 out of their target of £18,510 based on the date the first America’s Cup took place – 1851 – with a race around the Isle of Wight.
