Formula One veteran David Coulthard is poised to join grand prix newcomer, and fellow Scot Paul Di Resta, in the DTM after delivering an impressive performance during testing in Valencia.

As if Paul di Resta didn’t have enough to cope with ahead of his first official drive for Force India on Friday ahead of the Australian Grand Prix, the 23-year-old from Bathgate came face-to-face with a seven-foot shark.

Fifer Gordon Shedden proved his new Honda will be a force to be reckoned with in this year’s British Touring Car Championship when he finished second-fastest in the official pre-season test at Brands Hatch.

After dominating the opening eight-and-half hours of the Sebring 12-Hours race in Florida, Bathgate’s Marino Franchitti saw a maiden win in the highly competitive LMP2 class go up in ‘barbecue smoke’.

Aberdeen’s Dave Weston jnr completed his build-up to this weekend’s opening round of the British Rally Championship by cruising to a 27-second victory in the Jedburgh-based Border Counties Rally, the second round of the Hankook Scottish Championship.

Bathgate’s Marino Franchitti kicked off Patrón Highcroft Racing’s defence of the American Le Mans Series in the best possible fashion by scoring pole position in qualifying for the opening race, the 58th running of the Sebring 12-Hours.

Defending champion David Bogie makes his first appearance in this year’s Hankook Scottish Rally Championship when he tackles tomorrow’s second round, the Jedburgh-based Border Counties Rally.

Fifer Gordon Shedden will return to the British Touring Car Championship this year in a works-backed Honda Civic. The Dalgety Bay driver will partner double BTCC champ Matt Neal in the new Honda Racing team.
