Wheldon to BTCC

Dan Wheldon may be heading for the British Touring Car Championship after this season. The Florida-based Brit's Canadian wife Susie wants to live in Europe. A move back home could lead to Wheldon competing in Britain's premier series.

With a 1 year old son now on the family pit crew Dan says "I love IndyCars and very much enjoy driving them. But there will come a point in my life I might be too old to do it.

"My wife wants to live in Europe and I have always loved watching all the touring car championships on TV. They are really good and exciting.

"So that's something I'd love to do. But it's further down the line."

Wheldon is no stranger to other categories of racing. When he is not driving IndyCars he takes part in US kart events at the highest level. And he is thinking about starting his own kart team.

"It'd be great to get it up and running so Sebastian can jump into a good kart as soon as he turns four!"
