Allan McNish thrilled massive crowds at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last weekend.

The Dumfries-born ace reaquainted himself with the Audi R8 "Crocodile" sportscar in which he won the 2000 American Le Mans Series title as well as driving a 2007 Audi A4DTM and the diesel-engined Audi R15 TDI in which he won and finished third in the Sebring 12 Hour and Le Mans 24 Hours races respectively this year.

Audi, which formally began life as a car manufacturer on July 16 1909, wheeled out its "stars and cars" as part of its Centenary celebrations.

The German manufacturer has supported the annual motorsport extravaganza for the past 13 years and fittingly was the "featured marque" at this year's "True Grit - Epic Feats of Endurance" themed event attended by 150,000 spectators over all three days.
