Children from a Douglas primary school are taking to the racetrack today (Tuesday, April 21st) to raise money for a mini bus.
Kewaigue school's pupils, parents and teachers will complete as many laps of the NSC outdoor track as possible using unusual methods of transport.
From scooters and bikes to go-karts and spacehoppers, the sponsored event launches a campaign to raise £25,000 for the vehicle.
Headteacher Adrian Shorthouse says it'll be a huge benefit for the children:
