Motors TV Weekend Highlights 15,16 August

Some say that the weekend is fast approaching, and that you should have only one thing in mind for your down time. All we know is that Motors TV is on hand to serve up some more motorised goodness!

Let's kick off with highlights of the most recent, record-breaking FIA World Rally Championship event from Rally Finland. With the second half of the season underway, home favourite Jari-Matti Latvala kicked up a gear in his pursuit of team-mate Sebastien Ogier, flying through the forests at an average speed of 125.44kph. As the fastest rally in the championship's history it was a driving master class, so you better not miss it.

We're also bringing you a full replay of last weekend's monumental Kuala Lumpur City Grand Prix. The Malaysian capital's first ever street race provided a stunning spectacle, with GT racers and single-seaters alike tearing up tarmac and filling the concrete canyons with the sound of thundering tailpipes. The chaps at V8 Supercars had such a ball that they're going back for a full championship round next year. Praise doesn't get much higher than that!

Speaking of monumental races, you can catch the best bits from the latest British GT championship round at Brands Hatch. With drama at every corner up and down the field, the race delivered two hours of nothing but glorious action. But don't just take our word for it - whack on the box and see all the thrills and spills for yourself.

From Blighty we head over to Assen, which hosted round six of the Supercar Challenge. Tune into our highlights to see a cracking variety of top flight GT cars battle against each other in some brilliantly bonkers racing.

Because we're so generous, we're also putting on all the best action from the Blancpain Endurance Series' blue-riband event: the 24 Hours of Spa. GT racing's annual day-night extravaganza threw up another intriguing contest in the Ardennes, which we've condensed into a bite-sized offering for your viewing delectation.

And if all that wasn't enough, you can also catch highlights from the European Le Mans Series and Volkswagen Racing Cup as well.

So, with all that fantastic motoring madness on the telly, looks like it's a date with the High Speed Television Channel this weekend!
