Catherine Smart wins Gold Star Awards from British Women Racing Drivers Club

We were delighted to learn that Catherine Smart has been awarded the Gold Star Award by the British Women Racing Drivers Club.

BWRDC says “The BWRDC GoldStars Award is an initiative conceived by our unique motorsport club to promote talented women in motorsport. Only two of the prestigious GoldStars Awards may be presented annually at the discretion of the Club, and the GoldStars are not always awarded. GoldStars Awards are given to Club Members to recognise their progress and to help them take their motorsport career to a higher level. The Volunteers Award recognises the many members who generously donate their time to our sport, whether as marshals, officials or in another capacity. The nominees are put forward by the BWRDC committee to an independent panel of judges who decide the final winners. The judges are Helen Bashford Malkie, Louise Goodman and Lorina McLoughlin”.

As Catherine was unable to attend the awards presentation Marion Quarrington presented the trophy on behalf of BWRDC at a meeting at HKRC at Kimbolton in early February. Catherine was the 2023 winner of the BMMC South Midlands Lesley Harris Trophy for New Marshal of the Year.
