Race Against Dementia, a charity supported by Formula 1®, has unveiled an incredible prize draw for fans in the UK and US to win a rare replica of Sir Jackie Stewart’s World Champions Helmet – signed by every living FIA Formula 1® Drivers’ World Champions – alongside an all-expenses paid VIP trip to the FORMULA 1 ETIHAD
AIRWAYS ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 2025.
The replica winner’s helmet recreates Sir Jackie Stewart’s legendary tartan design and will feature original signatures from both Sir Jackie and 2025 FIA Formula 1® Drivers’ World Champion, completing a historic
collection. The original helmet will continue its journey, travelling worldwide with the Formula 1® Exhibition across 2025 and 2026.
Fans can enter for £25 / $32 via win.raceagainstdementia.com from the United States Grand Prix (17th October) through to the Las Vegas Grand Prix (22nd November). The prize includes a VIP trip to Abu Dhabi where Sir Jackie Stewart himself will present the helmet at the Yas Marina Circuit over the F1 season finale weekend.
All proceeds will directly support Race Against Dementia’s mission to fund world-leading research into the
prevention, diagnosis and treatment of dementia. Founded by three-time Formula 1 World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE following his wife Helen’s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, Race Against Dementia applies
the speed, precision and relentless innovation of Formula 1 to the global fight against the condition.
By 2050 an estimated 152 million people will be living with dementia worldwide – enough to fill Yas Marina Circuit more than 2,500 times over.
Beyond being an extraordinary piece of sporting memorabilia, the World Champions Helmet draw could make a significant impact on dementia research. Funds raised have the potential to:
• £100,000 – support an Ignition Fund project, a bold, early-stage idea that could unlock new
breakthroughs.
• £500,000 – fully fund a five-year research fellowship, giving a brilliant scientist the time and resources to focus entirely on dementia.
• £750,000 – supports a full multidisciplinary research team for five years, accelerating the pace of
discovery and impact.
Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, Founder of Race Against Dementia, said: ‘Dementia is the greatest challenge of my life, far tougher than anything I faced on the track. Watching my wife Helen, my timekeeper and number one supporter, live with this illness has made me more determined than ever to fight for a cure. Dementia is a global
crisis, and with the incredible generosity of fans, this prize draw gives us the opportunity to raise vital funds and accelerate the breakthroughs we urgently need. Together, we can drive progress and bring hope to millions of families worldwide.’
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO, Formula 1, said: ‘At Formula 1, we take pride in standing with Race
Against Dementia in the extraordinary mission of fighting this devastating illness. I would like to honour Sir Jackie Stewart, who tackles the advocacy for this cause and exhibits immense passion for achieving victory in this battle – he serves as a beacon of inspiration for us all, consistently demonstrating the same passion and spirit that he displayed on the racetrack in an effort to help individuals worldwide overcome dementia.’
