Derek Warwick, the former grand prix driver, is to return to the British Touring Car Championship next year as both team owner and driver. Warwick, who drove for Alfa Romeo in the 1995 championship with little success, will join a new Vauxhall "Super Team" alongside the former British champion, John Cleland.

The Italian Alessandro Nannini, whose right arm was severed and then sewn back on after a helicopter crash five years ago, is to test a Benetton- Renault Formula One car at Estoril from 25-28 November.
