King Charles III Coronation Medal


We know Operation Motorsport co-founder Tiffany Turner Lodder as a tireless advocate for veterans & those who love them – but we’re not the only ones who know she’s amazing. We are beyond proud to share that Tiffany received the King Charles III Coronation Medal today.


The King Charles III Coronation Medal “recognizes individuals of all ages & from all walks of life who have made a significant contribution to Canada or to their community, province, or territory or who have attained an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.”


We certainly agree she’s done all of that & more. Congratulations Tiffany!

We have thanks to give!


The fundraiser event at the Coaldale Inn in Alberta, Ca. raised $3,630 (CAD).

Operation eMotorsport partners with Trophi.ai


You might need luck to beat this guy, but practice & self-evaluation can’t hurt!



trophi.ai Tip: Drive the car smoothly, even if it comes with aggressive steering. Most pros correct all the time!

This season, we’ve partnered with virtual sim coaching company trophi.ai, which is offering its services to our veteran beneficiaries racing in Season 10 of the Operation eMotorsport iRacing League. The tips have been invaluable.


Tune in at 8 p.m. ET Tuesday for qualifying & this week’s race

Advice from a former OpMo Beneficiary


Former Operation Motorsport beneficiary Hunter Reeve is at the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season-opener as systems engineer for the No. 77 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevy!


Reeve was medically retired from the U.S. Army in 2017 & found his way to #OpMo in 2019 – sending his life on an upward trajectory with small steps & hard work on pit lane & behind the wheel.


If he could tell his freshly retired self one thing, what would it be?


“You have some very difficult days ahead that will seem almost impossible, but everything you have ever wanted to do & be a part of is on the other side & you’ll be better for having experienced it,” Reeve said.
