    • Felix Rosenqvist was elated with three podiums and a win at Silverstone to propel him back into the title hunt, after a disastrous opening round at Monza. The Swedish Mucke Motorsport driver discusses his season so far in an exclusive feature for The Checkered Flag.

    • Penske Racing hadn't won a NASCAR Sprint Cup Championship. That was until Brad Keselowski took on Jimmie Johnson in The Chase and beat the five time champion.

    • Furniture Row Racing has announced that Kurt Busch will replace Regan Smith in the team’s #78 Chevrolet from Charlotte onwards. Busch, who was offered a lifeline by James Finch and Phoenix Racing after his public sacking by Roger Penske last year, will do the full 2013 season with the Colorado-based outfit, which has a technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing.

    • Brad Keslowski made the best possible start to his Chase campaign by beating Jimmie Johnson to victory at Chicago with an aggressive pass exiting the pits.

    • In the end, it did not matter so much that Clint Bowyer was able to save enough fuel to win at Richmond, as second place proved just enough for Jeff Gordon to beat Kyle Busch to the final Wildcard spot in the Chase by three points.

    • Considering how close Alice Powell came to missing the 2012 season altogether, the way in which she has knuckled down in her debut season in the competitive GP3 Series has been quietly impressive.

    • Denny Hamlin confirmed his place in the Chase with his second successive victory in Atlanta, but was fortunate not to be wrecked by Jeff Gordon. The four-time champion would have been well within his rights to dump Hamlin on the final lap, needing a win to leapfrog Kyle Busch into the second Wildcard spot with one race of the regular season remaining

    • Formula 3 has, historically, been a vital step on the way up to F1, but with the introduction of GP3 to the feeder series ladder that position has been under threat. Now with a revitalised structure for its European series F3 is fighting to retake its traditional place.

    • Denny Hamlin was the victor in a chaotic night race at Bristol with a pass on Carl Edwards 39 laps from home, having earlier survived contact with Landon Cassill on pit road.

    • Greg Biffle held off Brad Keselowski to score his second victory of 2012 at Michigan International Speedway, although he had Jimmie Johnson’s engine to thank for letting go just five laps from home.

    • This time last year, Marcos Ambrose was still waiting for his first win in the NASCAR Sprint Cup when the NACAR circus ventured to Watkins Glen in upper New York. Two battles with Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch later and Ambrose finds himself a two-time winner. How things can change.

    • It takes commitment to reach Formula 1, with endless hours of training, learning languages, chasing sponsors and travelling around the world fundamental to budding young drivers aspiring to reach the top. For American F1 hopefuls, add to that list living on another continent on the other side of the world, far away from home.

    • Jeff Gordon was declared the winner at Pocono as rain stopped play after 98 of the scheduled 160 laps. Four-time champion Gordon was due a hefty slice of luck; his...

    • Although he started down in 42nd after a penalty, Tony Stewart was able to navigate the mayhem of Daytona and win for the third time this year, cementing his position in the Chase.

    • Now in his third year in the Formula 3 Euroseries, the pressure is on for Daniel Juncadella to deliver the title. The consummate Spaniard has the right mix of experience and speed, the right backing and has the best possible equipment run by Prema Powerteam with which to get the job done and currently leads the standings.

    • Carlin have become a Formula 3 giant in Britain, but without much success in the F3 Euroseries. Ulsterman Will Buller is part of the team that, in 2012, is trying to put that right.
