Susie Wolff will become the first female to take part in the Race of Champions
Susie Wolff will make motor sport history 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 motor sport, both four wheels and two, racing in a number of different vehicles.
Oban-born 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 and 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.”
