Susie Wolff will make motorsport history later this month when she becomes the first female to compete in the Race of Champions.
The traditional end-of-season event features drivers and riders from all forms of motorsport, both four wheels and two, racing in a number of different vehicles.
Wolff, last week named as Williams test driver for the 2015 Formula One season, is to join forces with fellow Scot David Coulthard for the Nations Cup part of the competition that takes place at the Bushy Park Circuit in Barbados on December 13-14.
"Any driver would love to be invited to do the Race of Champions," said Wolff.
"It's an event I've always looked closely at and always dreamed of being part of, so I'm proud to have been chosen.
"But the biggest thing is the fact I'm just so looking forward to racing again.
"I have a full-time job at Williams which is great, but it's about getting that adrenalin of racing back, and that's what I'm looking forward to most."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
