Previous inductees include heroes such as Jim Clark and Tazio Nuvolari, as well as Stirling Moss, Niki Lauda and Alain Prost among others. The ceremony is now an established fixture in the motor racing calendar, with stars Tom Kristensen, Derek Bell, Jackie Stewart, David Brabham and Eric Bana in attendance in previous years.

On the June 4, 2018 our exclusive annual event will welcome the class of 2018 inductees into the Motor Sport Hall of Fame. The star-studded awards ceremony will take place at the stunning surroundings of the Royal Automobile Club at Woodcote Park, in Epsom, Surrey.
