F1 stars back in the fast lane

The DTM German touring car series returns to Brands Hatch with racing stars including ex-F1 drivers David Coulthard and Ralf Schumacher.

In a 15-year F1 career, David Coulthard drove for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.

The BBC commentator will race for Mercedes in the powerful V8 rear-wheel-drive DTM cars as they take on rivals Audi around the Brands Hatch Indy circuit in a little over 35 seconds per lap.

The past two years have seen victory from Paul Di Resta, and the Scotsman went on to win the 2010 championship, earning a race seat in Formula 1 at Force India.

Other stars include Bromley's Gary Paffett, who is the series' most successful active driver, having picked up 17 wins and the 2005 title.

DTM will be at Brands Hatch from Friday, September 2, to Sunday, September 4. Tickets from £25, children free. Call 0843 453 9000.
