Dr Bob Pawson

We are very sadly sharing the news that Dr Bob Pawson passed away suddenly last week.

Bob was known to many in motorsport. His main focus was motorsport medicine as a CMO or an in-stage medic, and he was a member of what used to be the British Association of Rally Doctors. Besides being a great doctor, Bob was a compassionate human being and he was dedicated to others’ well-being in everything he did. He will be missed by us all.

His funeral is at 1.45pm on Wednesday 11th October at St John’s Episcopal Church,
Princes Street, Perth, followed by cremation at Perth Crematorium at 3pm.
