Juffali, who spent her formative seasons racing in British junior single-seaters, has established Theeba Motorsport for an assault on this year’s GT Open International series with a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo shared with Adam Christodoulou. Theeba, which is racing under Saudi licence, will make its debut this weekend at Paul Ricard at the second GT Open

RAM Racing pair Ian Loggie and Jules Gounon won the race on the road after a red flag during the pitstop cycle meant the race was restarted in the pre-pitstop order. But they were classified fifth when British GT officials elected to add their seven-second pitstop success penalty – having finished second in race one

Pole position, fastest lap and victory by leading every lap was about as unequivocal as you could get in race two of the Magny-Cours weekend. And perhaps the most concerning aspect for ASP’s rivals was that the result barely looked in doubt throughout the one-hour encounter. “The car was amazing all weekend, and when it’s

It was an action-packed 12 hours for the quartet, particularly during a wild stint from Habul early in the race that included two drive-through penalties for restart infringements and a spin at the final corner. However the car stayed on the lead lap all day, before flawless stints from Stolz and Gounon in the last

As predicted, it was a difficult start to the round-the-clock race with more than an hour of full pre-dawn running in foggy conditions. However race control has mostly let the race run despite the obvious visibility challenges, the safety car only used to retrieve a crashed MARC car from the top of the Mountain. That

The cooler autumn temperatures and ban on tyre warmers under the event’s temporary Pro-Am rules meant drivers were able to constantly improve on a single tyre set during the two 15-minute qualifying sessions. The organisers had originally planned to stage a top 10 shootout, before concerns over the operating window for the Pirelli tyres prompted a meeting

You’d be forgiven for thinking that British Touring Car Championship star Josh Cook would name Thruxton – scene of seven of his 13 race wins in the series – as his favourite circuit. But while the West Countryman indeed has a soft spot for the Hampshire speedbowl, his local BTCC venue, it’s a track he

The event, billed the BMW M Race of Legends, will commemorate the 50th running of the round-the-clock enduro on the Nurburgring Nordschleife that was first held in 1972 and the half century of BMW’s M division. The international field of drivers will drive 365 horsepower BMW M2 CS Racing models, each sporting an iconic BMW

The 2020 running of the race was one of the last international events held in Australia before the pandemic took hold and the borders were closed. The border closures ultimately put paid to the 2021 running of the event, which was cancelled and effectively replaced by the opening round of the Supercars season, the Mount

Series boss Stephane Ratel has outlined a firm intent for 2023 to hold five rounds of the IGTC, which links the big GT3 enduros around the world, after a four-race series without Suzuka was announced for this year. He explained that he wants to restore the Suzuka 10 Hours fixture, which was part of the

British GT was stuck between a rock and a hard place at Silverstone last weekend. With the National Court hearing into RAM Racing’s appeal of Oulton Park race two unable to be held before the weekend, and the classification of that race still to be finalised, it did the only thing it could and opted

The Lamborghini Huracan EVO2 follows the 2019 evolution of a car that started racing back in 2016 and will come on stream one year after the sister Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II introduced this season. The EVO2 developed by Lamborghini Squadra Corse at company headquarters in Sant’Agata Bolognese incorporates a new aerodynamic concept, which

Howard, who won the 2013 and 2015 titles with his own Prodrive-operated Beechdean AMR Aston Martin team, has switched to the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup this year and taken a planned one-year British GT sabbatical. However Howard will step back into the series in the unfamiliar surroundings of the McLaren 720S GT3 –

The seven-time MotoGP world champion made the acknowledgement ahead of last weekend’s GTWCE Sprint Cup round at Brands Hatch, in which he was setting competitive times at the end of race two, as he scored his first championship points in eighth place together with Frederic Vervisch in their WRT Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II.

Middleton, who won the British GT4 championship in 2018, was set to take over from Imperiale Racing team-mate Alberto di Folco in the first of two one-hour Sprint Cup races but was clipped by the oncoming BMW M4 GT3 of Jens Klingmann which pulled into the box in front. “The BMW was sort of on

Martin Plowman summarised events fairly well after team-mate Kelvin Fletcher had clinched a remarkable maiden British GT victory for their Paddock Motorsport outfit in a madcap second race at Oulton Park from 14th on the grid. “I think like a lot of people we were a bit confused,” he told Autosport. “I didn’t know what

Allan McNish has never enjoyed much success at Suzuka. Only ever entered in three races at the 3.608-mile circuit which celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, the Scotsman was withdrawn from the 2002 Japanese Grand Prix on medical advice following a 175mph qualifying crash and managed a best finish of third in his two prior

The Barwell Motorsport Lamborghini crew’s participation had been thrown into doubt by a Motorsport UK ruling following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which barred Russian license-holders from competing in Britain. Barwell has not formally commented on the development but a British GT statement said that Machitski, who has previously held a UK license, and Danish driver

Works drivers Nicki Thiim, Marco Sorensen and Maxime Martin will share a TF-run Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in the Nurburgring-Nordschleife enduro on 28-29 May together with track record holder David Pittard, who is racing for the factory-run NorthWest AMR squad in the 2022 World Endurance Championship. The campaign in the top SP9 class, which will

It was not all smooth sailing for the #32 Audi R8, piloted by Dries Vanthoor, Kelvin van der Linde and Charles Weerts, although through pit strategy they reclaimed first place after losing it to fellow Audi runners Sainteloc Junior Team’s #25 entry. WRT’s #32 team had bagged the first pole position of the 2022 season

Two-time World Endurance Championship title winners Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen will be joined by fellow works driver and Le Mans 24 Hours GTE Pro class champion Maxime Martin in one of two Aston Martin Vantage GT3s entered by the Prodrive-run Beechdean AMR squad in the five-round series. The programme brings Aston back to the

The seven-time world champion will make his first appearance in the series since 2012 at this weekend’s three-hour Endurance round at Imola, having announced his retirement from MotoGP last August. He has joined Vosse’s WRT Audi team that clinched the GTWCE overall and Sprint Cup titles last year with Dries Vanthoor and Charles Weerts. Rossi

John Fitzpatrick is one of the unsung heroes of touring car and sportscar racing, with a British Touring Car title, European GT and IMSA crowns, and wins at Daytona, Sebring and Bathurst to his name, not to mention a successful racing team. So it’s appropriate that he picks another underrated Briton as his best team-mate:

According to paddock rumours, Glock is expected to compete for touring car legend Roberto Ravaglia’s Ceccato team in the eight-round Italian GT series, driving the new BMW M4 GT3. Glock already knows Ravaglia’s team well, having competed for its predecessor ROAL Motorsport at the Spa 24 Hours in 2015 with Spengler and Alex Zanardi. Glock’s

Nine-time world champion Rossi called time on his 26-season grand prix motorcycle racing career at the end of last year, and has joined up with the crack sportscar outfit WRT for a full-season assault on GT World Challenge Europe across the Sprint and Endurance divisions.

Caroline, who beat Oscar Piastri and Logan Sargeant to win the 2017 British F4 title, made a successful switch to sportscars in 2020 by sweeping to the GT4 crown in a TF Sport Aston Martin alongside Dan Vaughan.

The seven-time MotoGP world champion took part in the second of the two days of the official pre-season GTWCE test at Paul Ricard on Tuesday aboard the Audi R8 GT3 LMS Evo II he will race for WRT this year in the Endurance and Sprint Cup legs of the GTWCE. Rossi completed a total of

The seven-time MotoGP champion will be joined aboard an Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II by 2019 Nurburgring 24 Hours winner Vervisch in all 10 Endurance and Sprint Cup rounds of the series. Multiple DTM race winner Muller, also winner at the Nurburging enduro in 2015, will come in alongside them in the Pro class

Crews will need at least FIA bronze ranked driver in their line-up for the opening round of the 2022 Intercontinental GT Challenge, which will be held on 15 May. Supercars and SRO have made the change due to ongoing issues with both freight and borders, which have deterred some overseas competitors from making the trip down

The nine-time world champion retired from MotoGP at the end of 2021, bringing to a conclusion a glittering 26-season in grand prix motorcycle racing.
