Could be. It's not for any specific venue.

Both qualify. Looking at the list of recipients almost all are motor sport of some type although one winner used sails.

There are two basic requirements to receive this trophy and several of these people are well known currently.

Hmmm. If that is in reference to the sails I mentioned, no, but if ice is considered land, sea, or air it could qualify.

It is not awarded by the royal family such as an MBE although one new MBE has the honor.

The Seagrave trophy held previously by John McGuinness MBE Honda TT racer....
Quote:
The Segrave Trophy is awarded to the British national who demonstrates "Outstanding Skill, Courage and Initiative on Land, Water and in the Air". McGuinness was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2021 New Year Honours for services to motorcycle racing.

TaaaDaaaa! Thank you, thank you....
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segrave_Trophy

F1 drivers Sterling Moss, Bruce McClaren, Jackie Stewart, Martin Brundle, Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, and Lewis Hamilton have received this trophy from the RAC named in honor of Sir Henry Segrave by his wife Lady Doris. Likely some others I missed here who have F1 races under their belt but the point is made.
