At PSR, we are about more than just racing.
The history of PS Racing’s charity work started in 2012 with the team’s first annual contribution to HandsOn Hong Kong's yearly Black & White Ball, in which PS Racing helped HandsOn Hong Kong raise over hkd $1mil in each of their annual charity events. HandsOn Hong Kong is a leading charitable HK organization which assists charities with financial and volunteer assistance in the local community, bringing important services to those in need.
In 2013, PS Racing expanded its charity work internationally with ChildFund International and Racing for Children.
By the end of 2013, thanks to PS Racing owner Pekka Saarinen, all PSR cars became emblazoned with the ‘ChildFund International” logo to majorly expand the reach of the Racing for Children program.
Our commitment
As of the 2014 season, PS Racing is donating directly to the Cao Phong Community Development project outside of Hanoi, on behalf of each team driver.
By sponsoring one child through ChildFund for each driver that signs for a season with the team - your commitment is our commitment - PS Racing is making a difference not only on the track but off the track as well.
