Overview

  • Rebecca Francis collected the McLaren Artura Spider and took a supervised promotional drive with Hollywood stunt driver Tessa Whittock.
  • She says selling the supercar will let her support her children, spoil her grandchildren, and consider retiring with greater security.
  • The hybrid Artura Spider is quoted at 0–62mph in about three seconds with a top speed near 205mph and features a retractable hardtop.
  • Francis entered the house draw for the first time with a £10 Early Bird entry after assuming any win would be minor.
  • Omaze reports raising over £100 million for UK charities since 2020, and its latest promotions include a Cornwall house draw set to benefit FareShare with a guaranteed minimum donation of £1 million.
