Borders racer heading to world famous Daytona circuit in the USA

A racing driver from Peebles is clocking up championship titles in his Mini.

His latest victory, winning the Sunoco 240 Challenge, means Robbie Dagleish has been given the chance of a lifetime, to be part of a four-hour endurance race in a GT4 sports car at the legendary Daytona International Speedway in Florida.

At just 24, this is something he's been dreaming of his whole life.

Robbie's Dad Robert is also his mechanic, and has seen the dedication his son has put into the sport over the years.

He's been racing since the age of seven, like many racers Robbie started out in karts and progressed onto cars.

He's raced Minis in Scotland for several years and after winning the Celtic Speed Cup, Robbie had decided to join the Mini Challenge.

But going further means more costs. The sport can cost the team tens of thousands of pounds each year. So, the family team have sought help from local sponsors from the area to get them over the start line.

Robbie drives out of the JRD Motors Garage in Peebles, and is sponsored by local company Evolution Bottling and Packaging Solutions.

Robbie will be heading over to race in the USA in January.
