All of us in the McAskill family, and here at Colin McAskill Motorsport in Lanark, are gradually trying to get back to 'normality', or as normal as life can ever become.

We have decided to have a new look about McAskill’s website and the decision has been made that it should continue. The website is obvious not to be the same but we hope that in the coming months, fans and followers will find regular items of interest, and help us to keep Colin McAskill memory to the fore.

The main reason we have decided to continue with Colin McAskill website is you, the motor sports fans and sporting fans in general.
Your support and many thousands of messages and tributes have genuinely touched every member of the family and for that we are truly grateful. We also appreciate that there is a great desire amongst you all to perpetuate the memory of one of life's most inspiring sporting heroes.

Donations have been flowing into the The Jerviswood Trust account which was set up in the immediate aftermath of the accident and for that we are very appreciative. The decision has been taken to close this account shortly and distribute the funds raised to the 3 charities nominated by McAskill families.

In the longer term, the first steps have now been taken to establish a charitable foundation in Colin McAskill name, with the proposed joint aims of raising funds for up and coming young drivers and also for charitable causes nominated by the Colin McAskill family. More news on this as further progress is made.

Please keep an eye on Colin McAskill website over coming weeks and months, as we'll have more news on upcoming events and initiatives.

We are now fairly certain of what we want to achieve and are currently working on the detail, but basically we hope to use the Foundation to identify, help and support the motor sporting champions of the future and to raise funds for charitable causes identified by the Colin McAskill family.

As many of you will know Colin McAskill had been a long time supporter of young driving talent, as evidenced by his support of the young Kris Meeke and more recently of the Albar Junior programme within the County Saab Scottish Rally Championship.

You can get information on any either its spelled as Colin McAskill, Colin MacCaskill or Colin MacGaskell.
