Attended by over 100,000 spectators, Damon Hill, John Surtees, Sebastien Bourdais, Brian Redman and Carl Haas were among many famous faces joining legendary Lola founder Eric Broadley and current owner Martin Birrane in marking the golden anniversary of the world’s most prolific and successful racing car constructor.

The changing weather soaked Sunday's races in steady rain, which enabled the drivers to appreciate the different changes made to the circuit in the interests of safety. Placings in the V de V endurance and sprint challenges have closed up at the top end of the classifications confirming a very hotly disputed start of season.

In spite of competition from cars just as fast, if not faster than their Porsche 997 Cup, and in the hands of drivers much more used to the Challenge, Anne-Sophie and Michel Nourry were able to make the most of Michel's tremendous experience in endurance racing to score a win under the most difficult conditions.

The start of race on a damp track quickly gave over to a gradually drier track after the first hour, obliging drivers to hone their strategies. In spite of a further win by a car from the IRS stable, the third this season and the second by the Ibanez/Cavailhes team, the Ligier JS49 from Pegasus Racing once again made it onto the podium, four times in four races, and increased its lead at the head of the Challenge.

The first practice session set the scene for the weekend with a gap of only five thousandths of a second between the two drivers in the lead in the Challenge. Zollinger took pole ahead of Toulemonde, both driving Norma M20 Fs.

Michaël Rossi (TDS) was back on form, as he claimed his third win of the season. He has given himself some breathing space at the top of the overall standings ahead of Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing), who finished third today behind Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing).

Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) avoided all the pitfalls to take victory in a third consecutive race. This brings him to within a point of Michaël Rossi (TDS) in the overall standings of the Eurocup Megane Trophy. In last place at the end of the first lap, Rossi climbed to second position, the podium being completed by Sébastien Dhouailly (Team Lompech Sport).

After those at Spa-Francorchamps, Michaël Rossi (TDS) takes another two pole positions Eurocup Mégane Trophy. Dominant from the start of collective testing, the Frenchman left little hope for the competition as he put himself in the lead right from the word go. In the gentleman-drivers category, Jean-Philippe Madonia copied his team-mate, also taking the two pole positions.

Some of motor sport’s most respected names from both sides of the Atlantic - including Damon Hill, John Surtees, Carl Haas, Brian Redman, Paul Tracy and current F1 driver Sebastien Bourdais - will support Lola’s 50th Anniversary celebrations at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (11-13 July). Also in attendance will be the founder of Lola cars, Eric Broadley MBE, who will be joining Martin Birrane, Lola’s current owner and Executive Chairman, to mark this milestone occasion.

One of the most interesting characteristics of the 2008 season of the International GT Open is the sharp drop of the average age of drivers, a trend that appeared already last year but which is even more evident in 2008, and repeals all the established clichés about GT racing. The category is not only one for old stars, gentlemen and semi-professional drivers. On the contrary, it is becoming a very attracting option for young, talented and ambitious drivers.

The Dijon event is the mid-season point for the FFSA Series races. Before the summer truce, drivers will be giving it all on one of their favourite tracks where safety has been improved over the winter. The Summer will give everyone time to prepare for the first edition of the historic and modern « EuroSpeedway 6 Hours » run on the German Lausitz track on 22, 23 and 24 August.

The fourth race of the season will be run in the classic 3-hour format before the GT and Tourisme events are run, for the first time, on the EuroSpeedway circuit at Lausitz in Germany for a kick-off event run over 6 hours.

The Challenge Endurance Proto is undoubtedly the hottest disputed competition in European auto sport. Around ten constructors will be running run against one another to have the privilege of wrenching back the title that English constructor Juno snatched in 2007 from French constructor Norma, the reigning champion for the last three seasons.

The third meeting of the year produced yet another change at the top of the championship standings, with Britain’s Simon Moulton easing past Julien Beltoise. Neither of these two drivers won a race at Val de Vienne. That honour went instead to Picardy-based drivers Julien Briché (Saturday) and Alexandre Rambure (Sunday), the latter notching up his first ever success in motor racing.

The battle to decide the world’s fastest motorsport star will take place at Wembley Stadium this December, when The 2008 Race Of Champions returns for its second successive year.

It’s almost as though nothing can separate the THP Spider Cup and the Coupe 207 THP any more! Following the recent WTCC weekend in Pau where both of Peugeot Sport’s single-make racing series formed part of the programme, the two championships will be sharing the bill again this weekend at the French circuit of Val de Vienne which is hosting a Super Série FFSA fixture. The two competitions are very distinct, but the THP Spider Cup and the Coupe 207 THP do have a couple of points in common: the cars that star in both championships are powered by the same 1.6 THP engine (which is the fruit of collaboration with BMW Group) and the fact that they both offer outstanding spectator value...

A roaring success with the 110 000 strong crowd, this weekend's British round of the World Series by Renault at Silverstone was also a resounding personal success for Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) who carried off wins in both Eurocup Mégane Trophy races. In the championship standings, he closed the gap on Michaël Rossi (TDS) who is currently second behind Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing).

In a race full of incident, poleman Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) came out on top for the first time this season. When Michaël Rossi (TDS) ran out of fuel in the closing stages, Bernhard Ten Brinke (Equipe Verschuur) and Sébastien Dhouailly (Team Lompech Sport) took full advantage to secure their places alongside Martin on the podium.

Penalized for failing to slow down when the yellow flags were brought out, Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing) and Michaël Rossi (TDS), have been stripped of the pole positions they were initially awarded, to the benefit of Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) and Michaël Rossi (TDS). The Belgian driver will now start from pole in both the weekend's races.

Following the successful debut this year of the “Pirelli Gran Turismo Championship” grids are set to expand as promoters Trofeo Motorsport release the eligibility list for their second class “Sportsman.” Aimed at a lower power-to-weight ratio than the existing GT cars already contesting the series, the Sportsman class will be open to European GT4 class type cars, selected ex-Performance Car category class cars and other volume manufactured sports cars with limited modifications. All sportsman cars will use Pirelli slick control tyres.

There were two all-Ferrari podiums in the third round of the GT Open 2008 Championship, making its first visit to the Belgian Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

RSV Motorsport didn’t have much good luck in the Spa-Francorchamps, where the third meeting of the International GT Open was held. Domingo Romero and Peter Sundberg finished their job in the mythical Belgian circuit with an eighth and an eleventh position, a result which don’t reflect their real pace on the track after run in fourth place on Sunday.

Mike Parisy’s assertive run during Saturday’s race looked certain to see him take the spoils but the Pau-based driver crashed off while waving to spectators three laps from home. That left the path clear for pole-winner Julien Briche who went on to pick up a handsome win ahead of Gregory Guilvert and Simon Moulton. The second race was greatly influenced by tyre choices.

Everything is set for a great event in Spa-Francorchamps which will see this week-end the debut of the International GT Open in what is considered one of the most beautiful and difficult circuits in the world. The superb track in the Belgian Ardennes is also known as ‘the circuit of the four borders", because of its proximity to Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands and because racing fans flock in from these countries, and also from Britain, at every major event. No surprise thus that the traditional end-of-May meeting, of which this year the International GT Open is the stellar feature, is called Euro Spa Race.

With the Nurburgring 24 Hours having been run and won on the weekend, we thought we would show you a video of what the drivers were up against.

After two wins in the opening weekend of the ADAC GT Masters, the German GT3 Championship, Matech GT Racing only entered one Ford GT in the second meeting of the year at the Nürburgring. The races were held during the weekend of the mythic 24 Hours of the Ring. “We didn’t find a final agreement yet for our second car for the remaining of the season”, explains Martin Bartek, team manager of the Swiss team. “One of our cars was heavily damaged in Monza last week, so we didn’t want to take any risks at all. We hope to finalize a deal before the third meeting of the series that will take place on the Norisring on June the 27, 28 and 29.”

“We have the control tyre, which is the Pirelli which is the spec part of it, otherwise things are pretty much open.”

Is there anything better that one can say in motorsports?

The Pro-Am Race was eventually won by the Porsche Autorlando of Gianluca Roda and Richard Lietz, after a strong performance from both drivers, ahead of the two Edil Cris Ferraris of Frezza-Monfardini and Cressoni-Bontempelli, while in GTS another perfect race from Andrea Ceccato and Marco Visconti gave Racing Box a second victory this season.

RSV Motorsport finished its participation in the second meeting of the International GT Open, held this weekend in the circuit Ricardo Tormo, in Cheste. The result is a fifth position – a result which does not reflect the brilliant performance of Domingo Romero and Peter Sundberg during the three days of competition.

After the difficult day lived yesterday, Scuderia Playteam SaraFree completely runed the situation in today’s GT Open race, placing its two cars in first and third: Andrea Montermini-Michele Maceratesi had a trouble-free race to clinch their second victory of the year, and increase their advantage in the overall standings, while Gião-Couceiro still made it to the podium despice two contacts and a drive-through.

What a race! The second round at Monza was an intense battle, where the top places hung in the balance right down to the chequered flag. The 2007 champion Dino Lunardi managed to pull away from the rest of the pack, as he had done yesterday, to claim his second win of the weekend. At the end of the first meeting of the season, Briton Simon Moulton leads the standings, in front of a promising field.

The work undertaken by Peugeot Sport throughout the winter on the Spider THP cars has paid off. The cars are not only quicker by two seconds per lap, but they are also even more fun to drive. In total, 13 cars lined up on the grid for the first race of the season at Monza. The reigning champion Dino Lunardi won the race in front of Julien Beltoise and Englishman Simon Moulton.

The blue F430s had a relatively easy race, which had started under the command of the SunRed SR21 of Pérez-Aicart, later slowed down and retired after losing the front body. Advanced Engineering took third (Pasini-Bonetti) and fourth (Casè-Rugolo), completing the success of the Ferraris, while Autorlando Porsche of Lietz-Roda was fifth.

Friday (11 April) saw the running of the first of two races in this weekend’s action packed bill with the matter of the Championship to be decided between Frenchman Jean Alesi, Germany’s Uwe Alzen and Dubai based Frenchman David Terrien.

As the last chance for the drivers to square up to each other before the battle begins in earnest, these Eurocup Megane Trophy collective testing sessions, held at the Paul Ricard HTTT, provided the teams with the ideal opportunity to check the final adjustments to their setups. In a repeat of proceedings at Barcelona, Michaël Rossi (TDS) bagged the fastest time ahead of Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing). Under such changeable conditions, it was however difficult to draw any clear conclusions about how the standings might pan out over the course of the season. Spa-Francorchamps will be the judge of that!

Uwe Alzen made amends for his exclusion from Saturday's Speedcar race in Bahrain by winning the Sunday event. The German had won the first race on the road, but was later excluded for not wearing his HANS device, which is mandated by the rules. Helped by a high rate of attrition, he was able to win the second race from the back of the grid.

Uwe Alzen took the lead of the Speedcar Series after scoring his third win of the season in a dramatic Saturday morning race in Bahrain. The German beat the strongest field of F1 drivers assembled thus far.

RSV Motorsport is going to say goodbye to the most successful season of its history in the circuit of Montmeló, where the last meeting of the International GT Open is going to be held.

CAMS has today reaffirmed its support and commitment to the development of club level motor sport, including rallying, following recent misleading public comments from a number of sources.

By getting the better of Renaud Kuppens (Boutsen Energy Racing) in the closing stages, Mike Verschuur (Equipe Verschuur) takes his first Eurocup Mégane Trophy win. Despite finishing in third, Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance) failed in his attempt to make it back onto the final Championship podium in place of Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing). For once, Tech 1 just wasn't at the races when it came to the fuel stops.

With not much success to his name so far this season, Ludovic Badey (TDS) has made a return to form by clocking the best time in today's collective testing at the Barcelona circuit. The TDS driver was followed by Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing) and Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance).

Ahead of the final meeting, Tech 1 Racing is sure to win the three championships: the Driver and Junior titles will be won by either Pedro Petiz or Dimitri Enjalbert, whilst the Team title will also go the French outfit, regardless of this weekend's results. As proved again by Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) in Estoril, the black and white armada is not however invincible. The likes of Walfisch, Meichtry, Verschuur, Rossi and Badey will be looking to finish the season on a high with a win

Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing), who started from pole, finished third, while Bernhard Ten Brinke (Equipe Verschuur) took second place, his best result in Eurocup Mégane Trophy.

After making sure of the 2007 title yesterday, Dino Lunardi celebrated his crown today by putting in a stylish grand-slam performance (victory, pole and fastest race lap) in the second race of the weekend’s meeting at Magny-Cours, France.

The weekend’s first 207 Spider Cup race at Nevers Magny-Cours provided answers to some of the questions raised prior to the visit to the French circuit. Indeed, it won’t be necessary to wait for the outcome of the second race to find out the name of the winner of the inaugural series since Frenchman Dino Lunardi has already succeeded in sewing up the series, as well as the prize drive in the 908 HDi FAP on December 6.

After the demise of the Trans Am series in 2005, there could be a revival for the series in the not too distant future.

With a day of testing in the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP as one of the chief prizes in the inaugural 207 Spider Cup, it’s hardly a surprise that the series has been so fiercely contested since the beginning of the season. With one round remaining, four drivers can still hope to take the crown, although the final showdown will not form part of the programme of a Le Mans Series round. The outcome will be decided instead at the Super Série FFSA meeting at Magny-Cours, France.

RSV Motorsport left the circuit of Monza - where the sixth meeting of the International GT Open was held - with better sensations than their results, which were mostly affected by bad luck and the chicanes of the circuit.

Max Busnelli and Mauro Massironi won with authority the Pro-Am race in Monza, clinching their third success of the season and the sixth for the Playream SaraFree squad. The pair also took the lead in the overall standings of the series, while Lietz-Camathias (Autorlando Porsche), only seventh today, slid to third in the championship, 5 points behind. Stefano Livio and Damien Pasini (Advanced Engineering Ferrari) obtained again a brilliant second place ahead of Alessandro Bonetti-Matteo Bobbi (GPC Ferrari) in a race which saw the 430s dominating in the fast Italian track.

Domingo Romero and Peter Sundberg leave the circuit of Cheste - where the penultimate meeting of the Spanish GT Championship has been held - with an advantage of 16 scores ahead their opponents in the provisional classification of the championship. The leader couple of RSV Motorsport had a great victory in Valencia - the fifth victory of the year -, a pole and a fourth position, and looks forward the meeting in Jerez in a positively way.

The International GT Open heads back to the legendary Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, the place where everything started 18 months ago. It was in the fast and magnificent Italian track that the first GT Open event was held, in the Spring of 2006. Since then many things have happened and the series has grown steadily, in terms of geographical expansion, number and quality of entrants, and interest by fans and media.

Pedro Petiz (Tech 1 Racing) put in a flawless performance to claim his third race win of the season here today. The Portuguese driver could be crowned champion at Estoril with a meeting to spare! Ahead of Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance), Mike Verschuur (Equipe Verschuur) made it onto the podium for the first time. In total, 90,000 fans attended this, the fifth round of the World Series by Renault.

Swiss-Austrian duo Joel Camathias (26) and Richard Lietz (23), driving #11 Autorlando-Sport Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, finished both races in sixth place. Considering the handicaps they had, 45`` for Race 1 and 30`` for Race 2, the result of the English weekend has to be considered positive. The duo is still leading the International GT Open Championship with four remaining races.

The weather was unusually nice and warm for the season in the UK, as the Italian drivers took their third win of the season in the Pro-Am race, after a solid race with their Playteam SaraFree Ferrari 430. A busy positive day for Team Scuderia Playteam SaraFree with two successful qualifying sessions for race 1 and race 2 and a win in the first of the two races of the week-end.

On a drenched track, Ludovic Badey (TDS) claimed his first race win of the season here at Magny-Cours today, despite having to serve a drive-through penalty. In his first race for Oregon Team, Jean-Philippe Dayraut made it onto the podium, along with Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing).

Fresh from securing pole position for both races at Donington Park, Fabrice Walfisch (Team Lompech Sport) has repeated the feat at Magny-Cours. The Frenchman will share the front row with Carlo van Dam (Racing for Belgium) in race 1 and Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing) in race 2.

Former Indonesian Formula 3 champion Moreno Soeprapto is the latest racer to confirm his participation in the first-ever Speedcar Series.

Scuderia Playteam SaraFree is ready for the fifth round of the season, an exciting experience at Brands Hatch this weekend. Brands Hatch is one of the world¹s classic racetracks, having been in operation since 1928. It hosted the Formula 1 British Grand Prix 12 times between 1964 and 1986, and to this day it holds rounds of the British and World Touring Car Championship, the DTM, A1 Grand Prix, British F3 and British GT ¬ in addition to this weekend¹s GT Open rounds. The Saturday race will last for 60 minutes, with Sunday’s shorter race lasting for 35 minutes.

RSV Motorsport arrives in United Kingdom to attend the fifth test of the International GT Open in the traditional circuit of Brands Hatch. The Spanish team is going to face the British test with a lot of excitement after the great results from last international meetings. Because of the second position obtained in Oschersleben RSV's drivers must have a handicap of 15 seconds during the first race.

The brand new Speedcar Series will feature an eight-date, 16 race calendar on tracks across Asia and the Middle East for the championship's debut season, beginning on November 3.

With two races remaining in the inaugural 207 Spider Cup, Dino Lunardi (RBA) has played a potentially decisive hand by winning the weekend’s two races at Silverstone. He consequently tops the provisional points table and stands out as favourite to claim the top prize: a test day at the wheel of the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. Nothing is by any means over yet, however, since three other drivers are still seriously in contention, namely Grégory Guilvert (Lompech Sport), Julien Briché (JSB Compétition) and Julien Schell (Pegasus Racing).

With three rounds remaining before the end of the season, Dino Lunardi (RBA) has followed in the footsteps of Maxime Dubrulle (JSB Compétition), Grégory Guilvert (Lompech Sport) and Julien Schell (Pegassus Racing) by taking the lead in the 207 Spider Cup standings thanks to his win in the first race at Silverstone.

Scottish racing driver Gregor Fisken described the Silverstone Britcar 24 Hours as ‘a fabulous 24 hours of motor racing’ after securing a memorable class-win at the weekend.

It wasn’t planned that a 24-hour race should be the Jaguar XKR GT3’s first racing appearance of 2007, but that is indeed what happened this past weekend and the car proved itself to be a consistent and worthwhile competitor. It completed 2,226 kilometres of running, and was a regular feature in the top 20 during the first half of the race before a precautionary gearbox change dropped it a little further back in the final classification. It eventually finished 34th overall and 6th in the GT3 class.

As the penultimate showdown of the inaugural 207 Spider Cup, Silverstone promises to mark a decisive phase of the final run-in to the fight for the 2007 crown, with nine drivers still mathematically in with a shout. Four of them, however, appear to have a handy edge at the top of the points table, namely Frenchmen Grégory Guilvert, Julien Briché, Dino Lunardi and Julien Schell.

A combination of his own faultless performance and the risky strategy employed by Maxime Martin and Fabrice Walfisch enabled Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance) to notch up his second race win of the season at Donington today. Dimitri Enjalbert (Tech 1 Racing) also found his way back onto the podium, while, with his eighth top-three finish in as many races, Pedro Petiz (Tech 1 Racing) continued his march towards the title.

Having spent most of the race way out in front, Fabrice Walfisch was forced to abandon his hopes of victory when he ran out of fuel on the last lap. Maxime Martin and Ludovic Badey, both hindered by the same problem, were unable to take advantage, and so it was Matthieu Lahaye who came out on top, with teammate Pedro Petiz completing a double for Tech 1 Racing, and Michaël Rossi (Racing for Belgium) the third man on the podium.

By his own admission, Fabrice Walfisch (Team Lompech Sport) has had difficulty driving on new tyres all season. With this in mind, the Frenchman decided to put in as many laps as he could in today's qualifying sessions. He was rewarded with his first two pole positions in the Eurocup Mégane Trophy. Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) will join him on the front row in both races.

Since the start of the season, Tech 1 Racing and Equipe Verschuur have dominated the Eurocup Mégane Trophy, and the other teams have clearly had enough Today they hit back with a bang, as Fabrice Walfisch (Team Lompech Sport), Ludovic Badey (TDS) and Maxime Martin (Boutsen Energy Racing) took the top three times in two sessions of collective testing at Donington Park.

This coming weekend ProSpeed Competition will take part in their third 24-Hour race of the 2007 season. After podium finishes in the Dubai (3rd overall and 2nd in class) and Spa 24 Hours (2nd in class), the Liège-based team is now looking at adding a third consecutive podium finish in day-and-night-races to their tally.

"The National Appeal Court of the Fédération Française du Sport Automobile (FFSA) examined on 28 August 2007 the appeal lodged by the entrant Autorlando Sport (car #11) against the decision nr. 13 of the Sports Stewards College following the second race of the International GT Open held in Magny-Cours on 15 July 2007.

An ever-present on the podium since the start of the season, Pedro Petiz (Tech 1 Racing) has it all speed, consistency and a cool head. Already clear at the top of the overall standings, he should be able to hold off his team-mate Dimitri Enjalbert. For the other teams, the Donington round will offer one of the last chances to put some pressure on the leaders.

New-comers Smurra-Stancheris (Latorre Viper) Win in GTS Richard Lietz and Joël Camathias took a brilliant second seasonal win in the Oschersleben GT Open race. The Austrian-Swiss pair, driving their Porsche 997 RSR of Autorlando Sport, bent the opposition since the start, in a race packed with action and drama, which was red-flagged in lap 24 out of 28, as liquids on the track caused two accidents.

Mauro Massironi and Max Busnelli took the fourth place in the second Oschersleben GT Open race. Andrea Montermini and Michele Maceratesi finished in 9th place. A red flag was deployed five laps before the end of the 29-lap race, meaning that according to article 40, case c) the race positions at end of lap 22 were used for the end classification.

Joel Camathias had an exciting International GT Open German weekend! Swiss-Austrian duo Joel Camathias (26) and Richard Lietz (23), driving #11 Autorlando-Sport Porsche 997 GT3 RSR, won Sunday (26/8) Race 2.

Andrea Montermini and Michele Maceratesi took their second win of the season in the Pro-Am race in Oschersleben, after a solid light-to-flag performance with their Playteam SaraFree Ferrari 430.

A busy and positive day for Scuderia PlayTeam Sarafree with two successive qualifying sessions for race 1 and race 2 and a win in the first of the two races of the weekend.

Joel Camathias is ready for the next International GT Open appointment. Swiss GT ace Joel Camathias (26), alongside his team-mate, the young Austrian Porsche factory driver Richard Lietz (23), sharing the wheels of # 11 Autorlando- Sport Porsche 997 GT3, is looking forward to race at the International GT Open German weekend.

While most Europeans are still enjoying their holidays, the summer break is over for the teams and drivers of the International GT Open, as activity in the track resumes on the week-end of 25-26 August in Oschersleben. The Motorsport Arena, one of the most recent and modern motorsport complex in Europe, located near Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt, will host the fourth event of this year, which marks the start of the second half of the season.

Six weeks after the last event in Magny-Cours, Scuderia Playteam SaraFree will race its two Ferrari 430s at the fourth round of the International GT Open 2007 season which marks the start of the second half of the season. It will mark the team’s first run at the very modern Oschersleben circuit near Magdeburg in Saxony-Anhalt.

The first 207 Spider Cup Race at Spa came down to a three-lap sprint after a variety of incidents brought out the safety car for four laps. It was Dino Lunardi who eventually came out on top, ahead of Grégory Guilvert and Frédéric Gabillon.

August’s visit to Spa-Francorchamps will be the fifth fixture of the seven-round inaugural 207 Spider Cup which has seen some extremely fierce racing since the start of the season. And minds are becoming increasingly focused as the prospect for the championship winner to test drive the 908 HDi FAP at the end of the year gets ever closer. The points table is currently topped by Julien Schell, but all eyes at Spa will be on Belgium’s Maxime Soulet who will of course be competing on home ground.

Having announced its intentions to field customer cars for the IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge in 2008, Rahal Letterman Racing will give potential clients a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s Porsche program in an open house at the Autobahn Country Club in Joliet, Illinois.

A few weeks ago, FeedMeSportsCars traveled to the Queensland round of the Intermarque Championship and the Thundersports Championship.

IRVINE, Calif. – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced the availability of a new performance package for the MX-5 Miata – the world’s most road-raced car.

A faultless performance and a good race strategy from Equipe Verschuur helped Grégory Franchi to win the second Eurocup Mégane Trophy race at the Hungaroring. The Belgian ace was joined on the podium by Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance) and Pedro Petiz (Tech 1 Racing).

French driver Michaël Rossi (Racing for Belgium) converted his pole position into a race win, the first of his racing career! Second-placed Fabrice Walfisch (Team Lompech Sport) finished on the podium for the first time in Eurocup Mégane Trophy. With his fifth podium finish in as many races, Pedro Petiz (Tech 1 Racing) tightened his grip on the championship.

Never mind Valentino Rossi, here comes Michaël! After taking pole position for both Eurocup Mégane Trophy races at the Hungaroring, Michaël Rossi has laid down the gauntlet to his rivals! Racing for Belgium's took a clean sweep, as Carlo van Dam will join Rossi on the front row in this afternoon's first race. Ludovic Badey (TDS) proved he is indeed back in business by recording the third best time, less than a tenth off pole position!

So far this season, first at Zolder and then at the Nürburgring, Pedro Petiz and Dimitri Enjalbert have picked up race wins or podium finishes at every opportunity. Going into the third meeting of the season, the two Tech 1 Racing Juniors already have twice as many points as their nearest challenger, Ralph Meichtry (Race Performance). The battle is far from over, but, on a Hungaroring circuit that is new to everyone, the outsiders will need an immediate change in their fortunes if they are to claw their way back into the title race

Frenchman Dino Lunardi, who started the year as one of the championship’s favourites, has finally claimed his first win after a shootout that saw his waiting tactics pay dividends with the leading pack in fiery form.

Stuttgart. A total of 31 Porsche race cars roll to the start of the 35th running of the 24 hour race on the Nuerburgring on 9th June.

This year’s 207 Spider Cup promises to be a particularly exciting championship judging by the action seen so far.

competition moves on to their home soil in Valencia… It is all the more so
possible since the leader Maxime Dubrulle will be away.

This endurance' race, cut a few minutes short after Grégory Franchi crashed off, was full of suspense.
