The FIA President’s Award was presented to Motorsport South Africa (MSA) at the FIA Annual General Assembly in Baku, Azerbaijan. MSA was recognised for its outstanding work at Daniel Pienaar Technical High School, fostering diversity in motorsport by providing opportunities for students from various backgrounds, including girls and underrepresented groups, to participate in motorsport-related careers, from driving to technical and administrative roles.

The dinner was organised to celebrate both the school’s achievements and the legends who have shaped the sport in South Africa. The organisers, including Rudolf and Sylvia de Vos, Mike Barnard, Pierre Van Rensburg, and Kola du Toit, Principal of Daniel Pienaar Technical High School, were recognised for their efforts in making the event a success.

Daniel Pienaar Technical High School continues to provide students with practical motorsport experience, preparing the next generation of talent in the sport. MSA Chairman Anton Roux said: "I am proud of the work we are doing at Daniel Pienaar Technical High School to cultivate young talent in motorsport. This programme is not only about racing; it’s about fostering an inclusive work environment and giving students the tools and opportunities to succeed in all areas of the sport, regardless of their backgrounds.”
