This year's Sir Jackie Stewart Classic will celebrate the icon's career, but isn’t really all about him. In reality, it’s for Lady Helen - all proceeds from the event will go to the charity that he has set up to find a cure for dementia
“It’s the biggest thing in my life,” he says. “Bigger than anything else I’ve had to deal with.”The two-day classic car show will be preceded on 17 June by a competition of clay pigeon shooting – the sport that was Stewart’s first love. Had he made the British team for the 1960 Olympic Games , the F1 legend might never have sat in a racing car.
A cast list of special guests is guaranteed, and given who we’re talking about, he might even manage to order decent weather. But you sense his frustration that when it comes to the most important person in his life, for once he has found himself powerless – hence the charity and its high ambition.
