David CoulthardDavid Coulthard has joined the lineup for this year's Race of Champions, making his sixth appearance in the event.

The Scot, who competes in the DTM after having retired from Formula 1 in 2008, will join the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button in the all-star program.

"It's a totally unique event and it's a pleasure to take part," said Coulthard. "Every year there is very exciting racing, and for the fans there's nothing quite like being able to see the whole track.

"I've come pretty close to winning it in the past so I'll dust off my helmet again and see what happens this time. But win or lose it's always a bit of fun to end the season."

The Race of Champions takes place in Dusseldorf Dec. 3-4.
