Racer David Coulthard Proposes to Karen Minier

June 2006 --F1 racer David Coulthard has stood upon the winner's podium numerous times during his illustrious career, but on June 2, 2006 the Scottish racing champ won the most precious prize of all when TV reporter Karen Minier accepted his proposal of marriage. His "need for speed" as much a driving force off the race track as on, Britain's highest-scoring driver asked Ms. Minier to be his bride following a short, six-month romance.

The couple has not announced a wedding date.

Fun fact: F1 fans can gain insight into the glamorous world of race car driving at the David Coulthard Museum, located in the driver's hometown of Twynholm, Scotland. Open seven days a week, the museum houses a wealth of memorabilia chronicling the speed demon's years on the track. The venue is also available for private functions.
