Former F1 star Herbert is scheduled to appear before fans alongside Matt Neal and Jason Plato at midday on Sunday and is sure to be a real draw for the crowds.

He is the 18th driver to have contested 2009's BTCC season to confirm his appearance on the Dunlop stand. Herbert raced in the final three rounds of last year's BTCC in a Team Dynamics Honda Civic, memorably bashing panels with Fabrizio Giovanardi's Vauxhall Vectra on his way to a best result of seventh place.

Reigning champion Colin Turkington and former title-winners Matt Neal and Jason Plato are also on the star-studded list of BTCC drivers appearing during the four-day event.
