I have dug into my racing memorabilia to establish the fund, but all items are in good to new condition. For now the fund contains the following items :
one issue of 1954 Autosport weekly magazine (UK) covering the Tourist Trophy (Vol.IX, #12, Sep 17)
one issue of 1954 Motor Racing monthly magazine (UK) covering the Le Mans 24 Hours (Vol.VIII, #1, August)
a Targa Florio keychain
a b&w picture of Moss in the Jaguar at the TT (15x10cm)
a vintage sticker of Spa-Francorchamps
a poster featuring all the winnings cars at Le Mans 1923-2000 (59x44cm)
A few more items will be added to the list along the year.

Thanks to Martin Bayer, there will be a surprise prize for the winner of the 1954 Gold Star series : a free key to the Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game.
As a reminder, the title chase is way open before tonight's last race with Niklas (57 pts), Erwann (56) and Matt (55) in a very close fight for the honour. Please note that only the best five results will be retained, so both Niklas and Matt will have to drop one if they score tonight, giving Erwann quite an advantage as he only scored four times so far.
Anyways, many thanks again to Martin for his offer
