For those who don't read, check in Autosport or just don't know about Paul Di Resta, he is 2nd in the DTM championship, 2 points behind Timo Scheider, the championship will be concluded at the Hockenheim Ring tomorrow!
He is 2nd on the grid in front of Scheider but behind his other championship rival Ekstrom.
Paul is son of SMRC and Formula Ford stalwart Louis.

The McLaren tests are promising too!

Looks like a certain Force India seat for next year but I hope they will replace Heikki with him, Heikki is a likeable guy but it'd be better with a Scotsman and an Englishman driving for McLaren!

They were saying on the Chequered Flag thing on Radio 5 last week that Force India have resigned both Fisi and Sutil for 2009. A McLaren seat is a 100% impossibility. I guarantee it. |

Ok Mike, it was just the messages I was getting from Heikki not being happy at McLaren and Paul Di Resta being touted to drive for Force India because they may become McLaren B team.
Shame about Paul today!

aland, it was great, we were shouting at our newly received MotorsTV coverage 2 hours after it had happened, we recorded it because we were selling our wee red transporter.
I've only seen the DTM a few times, once live at Donington with a personal tour of Peter Dumbreck's Opel racing car and the pits too!
