26/27 October
As the British weather begins to turn, why not tune in to Motors TV this weekend for some seriously sunny motorsport from Australia where summer is just around the corner.
In recent years V8 Supercars has grown well beyond the bounds of a regional touring car championship to become the world's most exciting tin-top series. Little wonder then that we're thrilled to be covering the category's 12th round of the campaign at Surfers Paradise Street Circuit in Queensland.
Four-time champion Jamie Whincup heads into the weekend leading the standings, with Triple Eight team-mate Craig Lowndes and Ford Performance Racing's Mark Winterbottom representing his chief challengers. But in a field this competitive there are a dozen drivers capable of fighting for victory, which should ensure an epic event Down Under.
This weekend also sees another of our season review shows air as we cast an eye back over the 2013 FIM MX World Championship. The top-tier MX1 class was again conquered by Red Bull KTM rider Antonio Cairoli, who secured his fifth successive crown at a canter. MX2 also witnessed a repeat champion, as Cairoli's stable-mate Jeffrey Herlings sealed back-to-back triumphs.
If your ideal form of motor racing mixes the sport's traditional features with something a little more agricultural then we've got just the thing for you: Eurocup Tractor Pulling. The humble tractor has cast off its working shackles and enjoyed a rebirth as the muddiest new series on the block. The latest round comes from Belgian venue Zele.
And be sure to catch episode four of The Racing Insiders, our magazine show looking at the best of the week's motorsport action in the company of Bill Wood, Peter Keane and Jim Daniels.
