• Remembering BTCC great and 24 Heures du Mans racer David Leslie, born on this day in 1953.

    Hailing from Annan, between Gretna Green and Dumfries, David is probably best known for his 219 BTCC races between 1987 and 2003 for Ecurie Ecosse Vauxhall, Honda Team MSD, Vodafone Nissan Racing and PETRONAS Syntium Proton.

    In that time David took took 9 wins. 35 podiums, 16 pole positions and 17 fastest laps, many of which were in a terrific 1999 season when he finished as runner up to Laurent Aiello.
    He also competed in the British F1 Championship in 1979, two races in the Swedish Scandinavian Touring Car Championship in 2000 and 7 British GT Championship events that year.

    The Scot drove in 3 runnings of the 24 Hours of Spa with a best result of 7th in 1998, and competed in 24 Hours of Le Mans on 10 occasions between 1984 and 1995 with Ecurie Ecosse, Mazda, Aston Martin, Jaguar & Marcos alongside the likes of Mike Wilds, Martin Brundle & David Sears.

    In 1993 he raced the Jaguar XJ220 alongside Win Percy & Armin Hahne, retiring with engine failure while in contention for the lead of the GT class.

    A hard racer but a really lovely, affable guy, David was tragically lost in an aircraft accident in 2008.

    He is greatly missed.

    Rest In Peace, David
