Irvine stars in Becks advert

JAGUAR RACING driver Eddie Irvine has turned his attentions to acting after starring in a commercial for Becks at Silverstone on Monday.

Milton Keynes-based Jaguar are sponsored by the German beer manufacturer Becks and British driver Irvine was involved in the commercial, both driving his car and with a lady on either arm.

Irvine tested Jaguar's R1B chassis at the Northamptonshire circuit but former Grand Prix driver Christian Danner, who now works as a commentator in Germany, crashed on his first lap when given a drive in last year's Jaguar.
