Several NASCAR fans were arrested after ugly scenes at Talladega. A group of Dale Earnhardt Jnr fans showered the track with beer cans after the hated Jeff Gordon won the race, surpassing the late Earnhardt Snr’s victory tally. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Gordon had earlier implored the fans to behave - and even he [...]

The Chip Ganassi team’s form is ominous for their rivals ahead of next month’s Indianapolis 500.

Over the weekend I had the chance to work in the Seat BTCC team garage with Jason Plato’s mechanics at Rockingham. I’m happy to say I didn’t break anything (Darren Turner’s car failure while on pole for race one was nothing to do with me). The Seat guys gave me an unprecedented chance to witness the [...]

Three-time Champ Car champion Sebastien Bourdais was in imperious form at Long Beach, as if his nightmare race at Las Vegas had never even happened.

Third place in the Shanghai was good enough to make Team Germany the second ever A1 Grand Prix champions. Jonny Reid of New Zealand won the race after passing British driver Robbie Kerr for the lead.
