Allan McNish will bid for a third career Le Mans 24 Hour race victory in June when the Flying Scotsman races an Audi in search of the German manufacturer’s ninth triumph in the annual French sportscar endurance race. Dumfries-born McNish will drive the latest diesel-engined Audi R15 TDI sports-prototype in the twice-around-the-clock encounter on 12-13 June. McNish, aged 40, became the first Briton to win the legendary Le Mans race in a diesel-powered sportscar in 2008.

2010 Jim Russell Championship Series title winner gets fully-funded F2 "seat" Future Driver Search winners Carlton and Ellis confirmed for 16-race series Team USA Scholarship winner Smrz returning to compete for European series attraction The Jim Russell Racing Drivers School organization welcomes the new decade in terrific style by opening entries and confirming details for its 2010 Championship Series that sees the champion earn himself a fully funded drive in next year's FIA Formula Two Championship.
When I sat in front of 38 drivers that were eagerly anticipating the start of the Jim Russell Future Driver Search programme, it was a funny feeling actually, quite a frightening feeling in a way because I could see myself aged 16 in so many of these drivers faces, all waiting in anticipation for what might come their way and it was also the fact that there was a lot of emotion and talent present in the impressive Audi Forum building at the Infineon Raceway as we were going to have to try and select 38 down to ultimately only two. I knew that job was going to be very, very difficult from a pure technical point of view and also on an emotional one because ultimately you could be effectively changing the course of someone's career. Invariably they are the ones that change it themselves, but you are influencing it or have a factor to play in it. So therefore it was very important from the whole Jim Russell Racing Drivers School ethos point of view as well as personally from myself that we made the right decisions and to try and take into account so many different factors, whether it be their experience, their age, whether it be just generally what they have been able to do in their lives up to that point in and out of racing.
