THE GRAND PRIX MECHANICS CHARITABLE TRUST

...where lives are put back on track

The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust is dedicated to providing help to former and current Formula 1 mechanics and their families, putting F1 mechanics throughout the world in touch with each other and raising funds to help in times of need. 

Founded in 1987 by triple world champion Sir Jackie Stewart, the 25th anniversary of the Trust was celebrated on 5th September 2012 at a gathering of over 100 current and former f1 mechanics at the William F1 team conference centre.

A number of former drivers, including Derek Warwick and John Watson, were in attendance to celebrate the occasion and catch up with old colleagues.

Check out the full story here.   

The work of Trust is illustrated throughout this website.  If you would like to join, donate, or need some help, please do get in touch.
