David CoulthardDavid Coulthard will enjoy a tour of the McLaren Technology Centre today after winning the top prize in a recent Formula One charity auction.

The Scot, who spent nine seasons at McLaren between 1996 and 2004, has invited Red Bull colleagues team principal Christian Horner and executive director of engineering Adrian Newey, and his manager, F1 commentator and former McLaren driver Martin Brundle along to join him.

The quartet will be given a full guided tour of the facility by McLaren Group chief operating officer Martin Whitmarsh, followed by a lunch in one of McLaren's private dining rooms.

"David has always been a popular driver at McLaren and we've known him for a long time," said Whitmarsh. "He's driven more grands prix for McLaren than any other driver in Formula One history.

"It's fantastic that he's put his hand in his own pocket to support this charity auction and it's great to see him back at Woking. This afternoon showed that we still remain friends with many of our former drivers."
