Marc VDS Ford wins qualifying race

Marc VDS Racing's Maxime Martin and Frederic Makowiecki secured their third qualifying race victory of the year with a straightforward drive in the opening part of the Ordos GT1 World Championship event. The Ford duo led from start to finish, with Makowiecki opening out a comfortable advantage over JRM Nissan's Peter Dumbreck in the first stint. Dumbreck's team-mate Richard Westbrook chipped away at Martin's lead after the pitstops, but the leader always had enough in hand

Lorenzo surprised by ease of win

Jorge Lorenzo admitted he had not expected victory in the San Marino Grand Prix to come so easily after pulling away at Misano and ending Casey Stoner's run of wins. The reigning champion reduced Stoner's points lead to 35 with today's result, as Honda rider Stoner could only finish third after winning the last three grands prix.

Muller stays in front in practice two

Yvan Muller appears to be a man on a mission at Valencia in Spain this weekend, as he again topped the second free practice session for the World Touring Car Championship. Fastest in all three sectors that make up the lap - by almost 0.3 seconds in the first alone - he led his Chevrolet Cruze team-mates Alain Menu and Rob Huff by the substantial margin of 0.9s. Despite a slide through Turn 1, where he flirted with the gravel trap, his fastest time was 1m43.050s compared to Menu's 1m43.954s and Huff's 1m43.975s.

Volkswagen NILS EV Concept Photos and Info: A Pod/Car/Thing for Statisticians

A pod/car/thing for statisticians. Volkswagen would like you to believe that the NILS concept (we?re not sure if the name stands for something or if VW just really likes capital letters) is a Formula 1 race car for the streets, what with its one-passenger, rear-engine layout and outboard wheels. But don?t go thinking that these [...]

Whitmarsh: DRS a success at Spa

McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh has rejected suggestions that the DRS made overtaking at Spa too easy, and believes it created just the right level of entertainment in the Belgian Grand Prix. The Kemmel Straight after Eau Rouge was chosen as the DRS zone for the race, and saw plenty of passing throughout the field - with drivers ahead finding it hard to successfully defend against their pursuers. Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali suggested that because drivers were already close behind rivals through Eau Rouge, the DRS effect was multiplied and made overtaking a foregone conclusion
