David Winstanley to be remembered by R.A.C Rally Championship

Motor sport TV filmer and producer David Winstanley will be remembered by an annual award within the West Wales Rally Spares R.A.C. Rally Championship.At the end of the championship season, a special trophy will be awarded to the driver judged to have delivered the championship’s best TV moment of the season, whether in or out of the car. Competitors, marshals and fans will be invited to cast their votes in the process of deciding the winner of the award.David, who died from natural causes in the middle of February, will be remembered by the David Winstanley Award and the winner will receive the trophy at the championship’s awards’ night at the Casa Hotel in Chesterfield on Saturday 25 October.“We wanted an award to remember David and all he did for rallying,” said championship manager. “This seems an appropriate way of deciding the winner and it means that any driver, in any car, could win the award. We hope David would have approved of this.”Later in the season, more details about the voting process will be confirmed. However, in view of the widespread popularity of David and his TV programmes, the R.A.C. Championship organising team felt it would be a good idea to invite votes from right across the sport so that the fans can have an important say in deciding the winner.
