Motors TV Weekend Highlights August 8,9

Looking to get your fix of action from two wheels and more this weekend? You know exactly where to find it - right here with us at The High Speed Television Channel!

First things first, the United SportsCar Championship will be live and kicking with us at the fast-paced Road America circuit for the season's 10th instalment. With only four rounds to go, and the sharp end of the points tables looking too close for comfort in all four championship categories, the competition is set to be closer than ever. From our experience, that is the perfect recipe for an absolute belter of a race, so you'd be pretty silly to miss it!

Next up is our highlights of the latest FIA World Rally Championship outing, which took place in Finland last weekend. Reigning world champion Sebastien Ogier arrived in a very strong position on the back of two consecutive wins and a healthy cushion at the top of the standings, but team-mate Jari-Matti Latvala was a man on a mission after failing to get on the podium during the previous two rounds. The pressure was on but the drivers delivered with record-breaking speeds. How fast, you say? Flick on the box to find out!

We now head a long old way east for the inaugural Kuala Lumpur City Grand Prix, which represents the Malaysian capital's first ever street race. Featuring top-flight GT cars, nippy single-seaters and thundering V8 Supercars, this high-octane event promises dazzling speeds and nose-to-tail tussling as drivers from each category battle it out to be crowned the first champion of the city. Our delayed-as-live coverage of the event will bring all the sights and sounds right to your sofa, so no need to travel! Very considerate, aren't we?

The hills are alive with the sound of… horsepower. That's right, the mountains around Spielberg are going to get a lot noisier this weekend as the Audi Sport TT Cup heads to the Red Bull Ring for round three of the season. This championship pits 18 drivers against each other using TT Cup cars, suped-up versions of the iconic Audi TT.

If you like your V8 Supercars a bit more agricultural then go feast your eyes upon our V8 Utes highlights from Townsville. Essentially glorified pick-up trucks with a lot of attitude, these machines are somewhat bonkers alternatives to the already unruly V8 Supercars that you know and love.

Last, but certainly not least, we have some two-wheeled antics from Chachagui's FIM Supermoto World Championship round. This series delivers off-road hooning at its very finest, so we recommend tuning into our highlights and partaking in the madness!

Hungry for even more? Don't worry - we also have coverage of the Lithuania 1000km and Ferrari Challenge Europa to satisfy those racing cravings.

That's our agenda for the weekend, and given all that excitement you'd do well to make it yours too!
