David Coulthard will be among the big names racing as the German DTM Touring Car series arrives at Brands Hatch this weekend.

Although the likes of former F1 driver Coulthard (pictured) will draw in the crowds, the battle between series leader Bruno Spengler and nearest rival Martin Tomczyk, whom he leads by just seven points, will be fast and furious.

Also appearing on the grid will be another former F1 racer, Ralf Schumacher, brother of seven times world champion Michael.

Support comes from the VW Scirocco R Cup – with guest drives from Nicolas and Anthony Hamilton, brother and father of Lewis – Racecar Euroseries, Dunlop MSA Formula Ford Championship of Great Britain, Lotus Cup UK, Elise Trophy and the Nippon Challenge.

The DTM race is scheduled to start at 2pm on Sunday. Adult admission is £30, children 12 and under are free.
