THE 2025 AWARD will be a secondment to join IN Racing, for one month during the summer 2026 race season.

We are now heading into year 4 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 for £5 each 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.
