More than £120,000 has been raised for the family of co-driver Dai Roberts who died in an accident during last weekend’s Jim Clark Rally round of the British Rally Championship. The 39-year-old lost his life in a crash at the Scottish asphalt rally last Saturday while competing alongside James Williams. Following the tragedy, competitors Damian Cole and John Stone set up a Just Giving crowdfunding effort to raise money to support Roberts’ family and has resulted in more than 1700 donations raising more than £120,000. Contributions have come from several businesses and the rally community, including stars from the World Rally Championship. The British Rally Championship has paid tribute to Roberts and intends to honor him at upcoming events, with Max McRae and co-driver Cameron Fair carrying special stickers on their car to honor Roberts and Williams at the European Rally Championship Royal Rally of Scandinavia round in Sweden. An update regarding the condition of Williams has been released today, confirming the driver has undergone successful surgery and remains in a stable condition, with a statement from the team expressing love and support for the Roberts family and sharing memories of Dai as a beloved member of the rallying community.
