Welcome

The Motorsport Safety Fund is a registered charity formed in 1974 to help improve safety in the sport. It does this mainly by communication through the Watkins Lecture, publications and DVDs described on this site.

After the death of Roger Williamson at Zandvoort in 1973, a fund was set up in his name with the primary aim of educating marshals on fire fighting and rescue techniques.

In 1987, it was reconstituted as the Motor Racing Safety Fund and became a registered UK charity (number 296802) with the wider scope to generally aid improvements in safety standards at motorsport events. In 1999, the name was simplified to the Motorsport Safety Fund to reflect the fact that it tries to help all branches of the sport.

The Fund has no formal link with the Royal Automobile Club’s Motor Sports Association - the governing body for the sport in the UK - although it does work very closely with the Association.
