So....final race of the Nascar Cup season tonight. The last four going for the championship are Kyle Busch, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick or Martin Truex Jr. Wouldn't mind Truex doing it after being punted out of the win at the finish line by Logano at Martinsville the other week. It'll be a long wait until Daytona in february...

Shock win in the first race of the new season in Formula E for Antonio Felix da Costa who has been around the series for donkeys without a win. btw he won in the inaugural season.

Rowland had a decent race, probably would have got higher but was a victim of the Vandoorne bottleneck around the half way point. I think he'll mount a challenge to JEV as he gains experience in the car.

The tacheeta's look like the class of the field though

It's a new season, and the first major race, the Daytona 24hr is less the a month away.  The living embodiment of never giving up, Alex Zanardi, is racing  in the Rahal BMW GT entry.  The car has been  developed so he uses hand controls with a special steering wheel for accelerating and a large handbrake-like lever for braking.  However one of the big challenges is the driver change....well during the "Roar Before the 24" they practiced, and nailed down the driver change.

Bump.

Finally today - some 3.5yrs after the Jim Clark accident (longer for the Snowman accident) - the investigation has been completed and report published:

Mega-bump.

Taken another 1.5yrs but it was confirmed recently that a scaled-down version of the Jim Clark Rally will return this year on Friday 8th & Saturday 9th November... ending its half-decade hiatus... before it hopefully returns at full scale for 2020 presumably in its old late spring slot.

Latterly rally HQ had been in Kelso and it sometimes started as far away as Edinburgh or Leith but it looks likely to be Berwickshire-based this year.

As it happens a new Jim Clark motor museum also opens in Duns in a few months so the great man's legacy will be back with a bang.
