Taking place at the state-of-the-art Dubai Autodrome, the 2006 Toyo Tyres 24 Hours of Dubai saw more than 60 GT and Touring cars from no less than 11 countries take the start of this monumental event. Some great names from motorsport were present, including Dutchman Cor Euser, driving the Motors TV BMW Compact GTR. High temperatures and a long night guaranteed plenty of action and Motors TV brings you all the exclusive highlights.

Ultimate Bike Racing
The Le Touquet Enduropale motorbike race is legendary. More than a thousand riders take part, on a course that comprises a flat-out blast along the beach for several kilometres, followed by a charge over sand dunes between the beach and the town on the way back. Motors TV brings you highlights of the 2005 race, widely expected to be the last run in its present format, due to pressure from environmental groups. Join more than 450,000 spectators, for the best view of the race on Motors TV. The Le Touquet Enduropale is followed on Motors by the UK’s equivalent, the Weston Beach Race, from Weston Super-Mare in Somerset. More than 600 riders from Europe and America took part in the 2005 race, over the three mile course, with classes for sidecars and quads also on the sand.

Ice Racing Final
The final of the 2005/2006 Andros Trophy ice racing series takes the competitors to the Superbesse circuit at Clermont-Ferrand, in the French Massif range of mountains. As expected, nine-time champion Yvan Muller has dominated the series so far but both Jean-Phillippe Dayraut and Alain Prost, his main title rivals in 2005, will be trying hard to prevent him from claiming his tenth crown. Motors TV brings the highlights of the final round of the championship.
