Thrilling production
Whilst the World Rally Championship seems destined for a three-way battle for the title even at this early stage of the season, the Production car World Rally Championship title race is wide open. Eight points cover eight drivers at the top of the rankings and Mark Higgins’ (Mitsubishi) superb win in Mexico has put the Briton in with a great chance of challenging for honours. Round 3 hits the gravel roads of Argentina for what is certain to be another classic event at this hugely popular rally.

DTM - LIVE
Europe’s most popular Touring Car championship, the DTM, started with a bang in Hockenheim with a huge accident on the first lap of the opening round of the 2007 season. What followed was a thrilling race won by Audi’s Mattias Ekstrom. Round 2 brought similar excitement, so there’s no reason to believe that Round 3 at the Lausitzring Eurospeedway will disappoint. With Brits Jamie Green, Adam Carroll, Paul di Resta and Susie Stoddart in the field, this action is not-to-be-missed and Motors TV brings full LIVE coverage from Germany.

Audi to bounce back
Having been beaten by P2 machinery in the last two rounds, the all-conquering Audi R10s are eager for revenge in the American Le Mans Series. As the championship leaves the twisty street courses behind, the German marque should be back on top in Salt Lake City, but the P2 Porsche and Acura squads should not be ruled out for overall victory having acquired a taste for toppling their more powerful rivals. Motors TV brings Delayed as Live coverage as the P1, P2, GT1 and GT2 classes do battle do battle in Utah.
