THE 2024 AWARD will be a secondment to join Bell Sport & Classic & GTO Engineering, both synonymous for their work with classic Ferrari, for one month during the summer 2025 race season.
We are now heading into year 3 and looking to top up the Awards financial tank so that me may continue Simon’s legacy of giving the opportunity to get young people into an old car who could not afford to go racing.
We are delighted to continue the sale of our lucky black cat stickers with a donation via the ‘Just Giving’ web site which can be accessed when you scan the QR code. Stickers can be collected from the HSA.
