Long time Manx Grand Prix Official, Dr. David Stevens MBE has recently been awarded two unique honours within Motor Sport - being invited to become an Officiel d’Honneur of the Motor Sports Association and being presented with a Recognition Certificate, from the world governing body, the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), celebrating his contribution to motor sport safety in the medical field.
The Officiel d’Honneur honour is only awarded to a select number of Senior Officials in the sport – there are currently only around 20 such holders across Britain and all its islands, encompassing all aspects of the sport.
