Sir Chris Hoy doesn't hang about. The flying Scotsman was, of course, quick enough on a bicycle to win six Olympic gold medals and 11 world championships. And now, after one season driving a Nissan GT-R GT3 in the British GT series, Sir Chris is climbing the ladder into a proper racing prototype.

From 2015 Hoy will partner up-and-coming racer, and fellow Scot, Charlie Robertson in a Nissan-powered Ginetta LMP3 car, set to race at Le Mans. Not quite the full 24-hour blue riband event - that step will come in 2016 - but a demanding four-hour endurance race sharing the La Sarthe tarmac with a grid full of fully paid-up pro racers.
