Nigel Mansell pbutted his Advanced Driving Test last August, 19 years after scoring his first Formula One victory at Brands Hatch. As IAM President, he brings a lifetime of driving experience to the IAM.
"I believe driving expertise isn't just for the race track," said Nigel. "My grandfather always told me that it is no good lying on a hospital bed saying ÒÉbut I had the right of wayÓ. That is why ordinary drivers can gain so much from preparing for their IAM test.
"I am honoured to take the Presidency of such a well regarded organisation and I hope that in this, its 50th Anniversary Year, we can inform and educate more drivers and riders than ever before," he said.
Welcoming the appointment, IAM Chairman John Maxwell said: "I am delighted that Nigel has accepted the invitation to be our new President. He is a well respected public figure with immense driving experience. As well as his legendary track record, Nigel has consistently campaigned for safety on the road and I know that drivers of all ages will regard him as a leading proponent of safety, both on and off the track."
With 31 Grand Prix wins, Nigel Mansell already has his place in the Formula One Hall of Fame. He has joined racing drivers John Surtees, Graham Hill, Sir Stirling Moss and Geoff Duke who have all pbutted their IAM test."
