Following his recent experience in a Volkswagen Polo R WRC car alongside Jari-Matti Latvala, Arsenal footballer Lukas Podolski has launched an auction giving you the chance to do the same thing.

All proceeds go to the German national team player’s own charity, the Lukas Podolski Foundation, which backs projects aimed at integrating and supporting socially disadvantaged children and young adults in Germany and Poland. As well as the taxi ride in the 235 kW (315 hp) machine the winning bidder will also receive a Peltor G78 performance intercom helmet signed by Poldi.

“I love speed, so I was not afraid at all. You are shaken about so much, it’s like being in a washing machine – left, right, up, down. It really is high-performance sport, and I have the utmost respect,” recalls Lukas.
