Introduction by Sir Jackie Stewart OBE
On behalf of The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust

Jim Bamber is well known in the motorsport community for the wit and wisdom of his cartoons. Few of us have escaped his attention over the years.
'The Pit Crew' is a new venture for Jim. It is his first rang of collectable figures and I am delighted that he has chosen to support our charity with it.
An F1 pit lane team has one of the most demanding jobs in motorsport snd The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust is dedicated to all of them past and present.

ABOUT THE TRUST….'The Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust' is a registered charity that exists to support F1 team mechanics, past and present, in times of personal need.
The unsung heroes of F1, pit-lane mechanics have one of the most demanding jobs in the sport and the trust provides practical help to them when things go wrong.
The trust was established by Sir Jackie Stewart OBE and is governed by a board of 12 Trustees, and each having immense experience of F1. For further information, please visit the trust's website at www.gpmechanicstrust.com

ABOUT THE SPORT….Formula One needs little introduction. It is probably the most global of all sports and has a worldwide tv audience of 10's of millions. Only the Olympics bring higher global TV sports ratings. Of the ten teams competing today, six are run by some of the worlds top car manufactures, Ferrari, Honda, Toyota, Mercedes, BMW and Renault.

ABOUT THE ARTIST….Jim Bamber is perhaps best known for his 'Bamber's view' cartoon in the weekly Autosport magazine which he has produced for over 20 years. Over the years Jim has developed a wide following in the motorsport community. Once described as 'a legend in his own lunchtime' by Eddie Jordan, Jim realised that he had made a lasting impression when Stirling Moss once asked for his autograph.
