Heikki Kovalainen will join Sir Stirling Moss and Lewis Hamilton at the Brooklands Motoring Festival this year.

The 26-year-old is the latest recruit to the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One team and will be turning out at the event on the weekend of June 28th to 29th.

Peter O’Halloran, managing director of Mercedes-Benz World, said: "Brooklands is the home of motor-racing as we know it today and, in particular, of the British Grand Prix, first held here in 1926.

"Given that this year’s Festival falls the week before the current British Grand Prix, it seems only fitting to have such a large F1 presence," he said.

The festival is being organised by Mercedes-Benz World and Brooklands Museum and the heritage of Brooklands will play a large part.

This year is the 41st reunion of the Brooklands Society and many cars that took part in the Double Twelve races in the 1920s and 30s will be on show in 2008.
