(May 7, 2016). Today, Prince Harry showed his support for the 11 competing nations taking part in the #invictusgames #orlando 2016 #jaguarlandrover Driving Challenge. Prince Harry, founder of the #invictusgames and patron of the #invictusgames Foundation, awarded the first gold medal to France for their communication, team-work and strategic planning skills in the two time-trials using the #jaguar #xe and #landrover #discoverysport.

Two team members from each of the 11 competing nations took part in the #jaguarlandrover Driving Challenge, fulfilling the roles of driver and navigator. Rober Philippe and M. Rebujent Haller secured gold for France, with Estonia and Denmark securing silver and bronze medals respectively.

Before presenting the winners medals, Prince Harry took to the last round of the challenge by joining Estonia on the #landrover course and Denmark on the #jaguar course to show his support to the teams in the first competitive medal #event of the Games.

Jaguar #landrover is Presenting Partner of the #invictusgames #orlando 2016, and proud sponsors of the US and UK Teams. Building on its sponsorship and support of the inaugural #invictusgames in London 2014, #jaguarlandrover has increased their commitment to the Armed Forces and Veteran community as details of the new #jaguarlandrover CALIBRE Partnership were announced last week. This collaboration will fund the training and hiring of 180 US Service Members this year across North American retailers, and follows the recruitment of over 200 Transitioning Service Members, Veterans, and currently serving members of the National Guard and Reserve in the UK since 2013.

Jaguar #landrover CEO, Dr Ralf Speth, said: Today, the #invictusgames were opened by the #jaguarlandrover Driving Challenge. We were delighted to host 11 nations in their first medal opportunity. The #competition was very tough.

I was honoured to meet with the passionate competitors to hear more about their own individual journey to #invictusgames. There is a close alignment of the values and the mind-set of #jaguarlandrover and the vision of the Games. So, we are extremely proud to be the presenting partner. We are all grateful to HRH Prince Harry for founding and championing this visionary idea of the Games. We congratulate him and the organising committee on establishing yet another inspiring  #invictusgames."
