|April 19, 2025
SCOTS driving legend Dario Franchitti has donated his race kit and helmet to be auctioned off in aid of Sir Jackie Stewart's dementia charity.
The four-time IndyCar champion was mentored by Stewart when he started out at racing karts at a track in Lanarkshire town Larkhall as a youngster.
He has remained close to the family and said he wanted to do something to help Formula 1 great Stewart's campaign to find a cure for dementia.
Honoured
Stewart, 85, set up charity Race Against Dementia (RAD) after his wife Helen was diagnosed with the illness in 2014.
Franchitti's racing kit includes a Sparco race suit, balaclava and bespoke Nomex protective layers, as well as a pair of Puma boots, Alpinestars gloves and a matching visor.
His signed racing helmet has the Saltire draped across it and retains its radio and drinks tube.
Both lots are being sold by Broad Arrow Auctions with 100% of the proceeds to be donated to Race Against Dementia.
