This organisation dates back to 1963 and the underlisted drivers have been recognised.
Unfortunately the website doesn't seem to say for what actions they were commended, though I have guessed at some.
Can anyone fill in the gaps ( I've listed them in order of what I believe to be the most prestigious award) ?

Diploma - Act of Fair Play

1976 Andre Bastin

During the Polish round of the 1984 European Rally Championship, Krupa and Mystkowski stopped to help Benny Carlsson, who car had crashed heavily into a ditch. The Poles lost 24 minutes and dropped from 3rd place to 13th place.

Trophy - Act of Fair Play1979 Phillipe Roux


Are there any details about what he did to earn this award? I assume it's the same guy who just missed out on the medals in the Innsbruck Olympic downhill?

The late David Purley might also deserve a mention?
