DTM - LIVE
After starting with a bang in Hockenheim, literally as four cars exited the race on the first lap, the 2007 DTM season is shaping up to be one of the best yet. Audi appear to have clawed the advantage away from arch-rivals Mercedes so far, but never doubt Norbert Haug’s resolve to put his marque back on top. With drivers such as Mika Hakkinen, Bernd Schneider, Tom Kristensen, Bruno Spengler and Mattias Ekstrom dicing it out at the front of the field, and plenty of British interest in the shape of Gary Paffett, Paul di Resta, Adam Carroll and Susie Stoddard, this year is shaping up to be the best yet. Motors TV is LIVE at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz for Round 3 of the championship.

ALMS action
The all-conquering Audis have been left smarting so far in the 2007 American Le Mans Series after successive defeats at the hands of P2 machinery. Round 5 at Salt Lake City gives the German manufacturer a break from the twisty street circuits at which they’ve struggled so far and should see them dominate once more. However, with the P1 Porsches and Acuras developing a taste for springing shocks, who knows what will happen? Find out on Sunday as Motors TV brings Delayed as Live coverage of all the action from the US’s premier sportscar racing champtionship.
