Gallery: Sir Chris Hoy swaps bike for racing car
Olympic gold-medal winning cyclist Sir Chris Hoy swapped two wheels for four when he took part in a motor racing event at Brands Hatch at the weekend.
The main image shows Sir Chris, inset, driving in a qualifying heat for the Radical SR1 Cup. His world-class competitive spirit was evident as he blasted away from the line cleanly each time with the wheels spinning just enough for that perfect launch.
