The Professor Honored

The Donington Grand Prix Collection was the venue for a glittering โ€œTribute to Ayrton Sennaโ€ Dinner Party, at which FIA Medical Delegate, professor Sid Watkins OBE, received the Tom Wheatcroft Trophy from current holder Murray Walker OBE.

The trophy, inspired and commissioned by Tomโ€™s son, Kevin as a tribute to his fatherโ€™s commitment to motorsport, is presented each year to an individual who has made a similar commitment to the sport. Professor Watkins has, for more than 20 years, acted as senior medical officer at all Grands Prix and has made a significant contribution to motorsport safety.
