"Dave wasn't just a great driver - he was a formidable character," Sanson explains. "He was larger than life, and knew no other way to drive or to live than in his own manner. He was well loved by everybody who knew him, and whilst I only had the chance to meet him in person on one occasion it certainly told me enough about his personality and his demeanour. He was a gentleman, a fun-lover and a playful rogue at heart. To me, he embodies what Downforce Radio was set up to promote as an ideal - "motorsport should be fun".
"I felt it was only right that we honour his memory and paid tribute to one of British motorsport's most popular individuals. Without the sport, things will be a little less fun so we hope to continue his legacy and honour his memory by keeping him in our minds permanently moving forward with this very fitting accolade."
