Following the passing of Dan Wheldon at the 2011 IZOD IndyCar World Championship, the Autosport International Celebrity Kart Race took place in his honour in 2013 with the aim of raising funds for the Alzheimer's Society. Philpot and his BRKC team won the event, finishing 1 lap ahead of their nearest rivals, including names such as Oliver Turvey, Rob Huff, and Ben Collins (racing driver), formerly 'The Stig' on the BBC television show Top Gear.
