Lost by Choice Motorsports
Welcome to Lost By Choice Motorsports. We're not just lining up at the starting line; we're a rally team with a mission that drives us through every stage. While the dust flies, the gravel sprays, and our Ford Mustang GT roars, our purpose powers us far beyond the final control. We are a movement accelerating proactive mental health awareness and suicide prevention within the motorsports community and well beyond the rally circuit.
Fueled by our passion for the intense challenge of stage rally and a deep-seated drive to combat mental health stigma, we tackle every corner and crest with a purpose bigger than any podium finish. Suicide prevention isn't just a cause for us; it's our essential co-driver, helping us navigate the toughest parts of the journey.
We are absolutely committed to breaking the silence often found in the high-speed world and building a strong, supportive community of champions, both on the stages and in the service park. We actively create opportunities for local heroes to join our crew, teaching them the ropes of preparing a rally car and feeling the visceral thrill of pushing the limits against the clock, all while championing a cause that truly matters.
