Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke raced at Le Mans eight times between 1979 and 1998.

I'm trying to rack my brains for various celebs I have seen racing during my times marshalling in the last few years.

Guy Berryman from Coldplay did a few races in the Caterham championships.

Singer Chris Rea has been seen racing historics a few times.

Goalkeeper Fabien Barthez raced GTs and at Le Mans a few times too.

Ex-Watford striker Luther Blissett racing Alfa Romeos.

Least said about his appearance in the Celebrity race at the 2011 Silverstone classic, the better.

(Incidentally, the Top 3 in that race were Rick Parfitt Jr, Heston Blumenthal and Brendan Cole in that order)

The late Paul Walker of "Fast and Furious" fame.
