Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is one of the top five children's hospitals in the world and one of the most technologically advanced. GOSH is an international centre of excellence in child healthcare. Since its formation in 1852, the hospital has been dedicated to children's healthcare and to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses. Together with our research partner, the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, we host the UK's only paediatric National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Biomedical Research Centre (BRC).

The day, which will raise funds for the Great Ormond Street Charity, will encompass various fundraising activities, including passenger rides around the iconic track in one of two incredible 250 GTOs generously provided by their owners. RM Sotheby's will be offering one of the passenger rides as a spectacular lot at its upcoming Cliveden House auction. The Ferrari 250 GTO is widely regarded as one of the most desirable motor cars ever built, with the model holding the world record for the most expensive Ferrari ever sold at auction, having been sold by RM Sotheby's in November 2023 for $51.7m.

Peter Wallman, Chairman UK and EMEA says, 'It is fantastic to be able to collaborate with the BRDC on this charity lot, which I think we can all agree benefits an excellent cause. To passenger in a Ferrari 250 GTO is the ultimate dream for many car enthusiasts, but to be given the opportunity to lap the Silverstone circuit with a leading historic racing driver behind the wheel is a unique opportunity. We're confident that people will dig deep and raise as much as possible for the Great Ormond Street Charity.'
