SPECIAL EVENT (LONDON) - 2008 MOTORSPORT SAFETY FUND "WATKINS LECTURE" AT AUTOSPORT SHOW

Malcolm Wilson, founder of M-Sport and therefore the architect of BP-Ford's victory in last year's FIA World Rally Championship, will deliver the 2008 Motorsport Safety Fund "Watkins Lecture" on Friday 11 January at the Autosport International Show, NEC Birmingham. This popular annual event is named after Professor Sid Watkins - F1's safety pioneer - who made the very first presentation.

A growing highlight of the Autosport International Show, the lecture is these days attended by some 500 delegates. The previous presenters have been: Professor Sid Watkins (twice), Sir Jackie Stewart, Max Mosley, Niki Lauda, David Richards, Dr Terry Trammell, Martin Brundle, Ross Brawn and Bernie Ecclestone - a veritable who's who of motorsport.

The lecture is primarily for the benefit of those directly involved in the field of marshalling and entry is strictly by ticket only. Ticket application forms are available in the latest edition of the Motorsport Safety Fund's bi-annual newsletter, "The Marshal".
