He landed a racing deal with Nissan and won the Sebring 12 Hours for the Japanese manufacturer in 1991, together with brother Geoff.

Since he moved up from karting in 1986, David has been happy to race anything he can get his hands on and has won championships and races all over the globe. But his biggest success outside of grand prix racing was in the BTCC, where he took wins between 1963 and 1980.
