Scotland's David Coulthard MBE is supporting plans to introduce motorsport based reminiscence activites for older people.
DC, who is currently competing in the DTM series with Mercedes, was a multiple winner of the British Grand Prix and the highest scoring British F1 driver of all time, became a supporter on hearing of the positive impact the Sporting Memories Network's innovative work is having. You can read David`s memory of his favourite F1 victory on the Replay Motorsport site
"When I think back across my own career, I have great memories of circuits, races and the drivers I competed against. The rich history of the sport and the passion fans hold for their favourite drivers and teams should make for some great stories and discussions. I'm looking forward to seeing the fans' memories being added to the Replay Motorsport website. I wish the network every success and I am proud to support the launch"
DC dominated Britain's junior Formula Ford categories in 1989 and became the first ever recipient of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award for young drivers. In 1991 he fought a titanic battle with future Formula 1 rival Rubens Barrichello for the British Formula 3 Championship, and won the prestigious Macau F3 Grand Prix.
He joined the Williams Formula 1 team as a test driver in 1993, and after competing in eight grands prix for the team in the 1994 season he became a full-time F1 driver in 1995. That year he won the Portuguese Grand Prix and finished third in the championship.
After
moving to McLaren, David took his new team's first win in three seasons
at the 1997 Australian Grand Prix. In all, he scored 12 of his 13 grand
prix wins and 51 of his 62 podium finishes with McLaren, and, after
supporting team-mate 
Mika Häkkinen to the drivers' championship in 1998
and '99, he finished runner-up to Michael Schumacher in 2001. In 2005
David moved to the newly formed Red Bull Racing team.
By the time he retired from driving, in 2008, he had notched up 535 points, making him the highest scoring British driver of all time. David stayed on as a consultant to Red Bull and also acts as an ambassador for Mercedes-Benz. David is also an integral member of BBC TV's Formula 1 commentary team.
