Coulthard confirms DTM contract
Former Red Bull Racing F1 Team driver, David Coulthard, announced this morning that he has signed a contract to race in DTM. The Scotsman will continue his work as BBC F1 commentator as there is no clash between the DTM and F1 calendar.
David Coulthard said to 'BBC Sport': "I didn't actively look to race anything through 2009 but at the season finale DTM race I really got the buzz and the tingle again for the competition.
"That led to a test with Mercedes, which led to me making the decision that I'd like to dovetail my BBC work with racing in the DTM.
"There's a reasonable level of technology involved in the cars, it's a professionally run championship and in Mercedes there's a company I worked with for seven year in my time at McLaren."
