In 2014, the FIA introduced a new format where the champions and guests took part in a competition held at a kart circuit designed by Hermann Tilke, under the race direction of Charlie Whiting.
The 1995 ceremony was to take place in Monte Carlo, Monaco, but was cancelled due to the general strikes in nearby France.
This figure can be a driver, a team manager, an official, a volunteer, etc., affiliated to an FIA Championship or Event.
Each member of the media is required to vote for three individuals in the first stage before choosing from a final selection of ten.
Balloting for the award is undertaken by motor racing fans via the FIA's official website.
