Race Against Dementia is a global charity that uses pioneering research and a F1 attitude to find a cure for dementia. The charity was founded by Stewart, who will sign the top 10 memories and officially open the display before taking to the main stage at the show to talk about his personal involvement with Race Against Dementia and share memories from his motorsport career.
Tickets for the show, which will take place at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on 12-15 January 2023, are available at autosportinternational.com.
