Scott Dixon started on pole position, and he won the race, but there was plenty of action in between. His Target Ganassi team mate Dan Wheldon made the early running but dropped back with handling problems and ended the race in a lowly twelfth.

Chevrolet romped to victory in the second WTCC race at Valencia with Alain Menu converting pole position into victory ahead of race one winner Rob Huff.

Tom Onslow-Cole has given himself the perfect present for the birthday he celebrated on Friday by winning the first two BTCC races of the day at Thruxton.

Regular readers will know of my displeasure with Sky’s practice of missing live Indy Car racing to bring NASCAR instead.

Giorgio Pantano took his sixth career win in GP2 with an emphatic victory from pole position in the feature race at Istanbul.

The German Touring Car Championship (DTM) has been crying out for another manufacturer entrant ever since Opel withdrew at the end of 2005 and took all their cars with them.
