A German racing car driver has announced he has spent 250,000 euros on a motorhome.

Sebastian Vettel, who currently races for Scuderia ToroRosso Formula One team, has announced he has spent the large sum on a vehicle in which to attend his European races this year, reports Yahoo.

The Concorde Line 990 is the height of luxury, with leather interiors, a dishwasher, a huge TV and a king-size bed.

Mr Vettel's new vehicle also measures in at ten metres long and weighs 7.5 tonnes.

Another sports star who has recently announced his love of the motorhome and caravan industry is Casey Stoner, the reigning world champion of MotoGP.

The star says he uses his motorhome to relax and "chill out" before a race, often watching a DVD and catching up on sleep.

Lewis Hamilton also has a private quarter in the McLaren motorhome, which includes a Playstation, according to the Guardian.
