David Newsham (born 7 July 1967 in Scotland) is a British auto racing driver and businessman. He is the managing director of Norscott Vending.

Racing career

He joined the TOCA tour in 2008, competing in the final two rounds of the Renault Clio Cup UK. This led to a full season in 2009, driving for Amery Motorsport. He scored one race win at Silverstone and finished fifth on points at the end of the season. In 2010 he switched to Team Pyro and dominated the series, winning the championship title with twelve race wins.

For 2011 he is stepping up to the British Touring Car Championship. Newsham started the season driving for Geoff Steel Racing, with a Super 2000 BMW 320si^[1]. He scored a point in his first race at Brands Hatch, but a disappointing weekend at Donington Park which included two retirements prompted him to leave the team. He will now drive a NGTC SEAT León for Special Tuning Racing.
