The Aston Martin Autosport BRDC Award is an award set up in 1989, following on from the Grovewood Awards, to reward and recognise young racing drivers from the UK.[1] As its names suggest, the award is backed by Aston Martin, motorsport magazine Autosport, and the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC). As well as the prestige of winning the award, a test drive in an Aston Martin Formula One car and £100,000[2] – increased from £50,000 in 2010 – cash prize, the award winner is also presented with the Chris Bristow Trophy.[3]
McLaren ended its longstanding partnership with the accolade in January 2019, and Aston Martin replaced them. The 2019 winner received a test in a Red Bull Racing car at Silverstone, as Aston Martin was the team's sponsor. Since 2020, the winner gets a run in an Aston Martin F1 Team car, a FIA World Endurance Championship Aston Martin Vantage GTE car and an overall £200,000 prize fund.[4]
