Motor racing

David Coulthard declared himself happy after testing his McLaren car at Estoril in Portugal yesterday. Coulthard was testing new components on last year's chassis with Alain Prost, who has been contracted as technical advisor to the McLaren team for this season.

The world champion, Colin McRae, was yesterday confirmed as part of the three-man 555 Subaru team for 1996. The Scot was named alongside Sweden's Kenneth Eriksson and Piero Liatti, of Italy, when the team ended weeks of speculation by announcing their line-up.
