Missing the beach? Well, we’ve got live coverage from Le Touquet Quaduro and Enduropale to fill that hole. It’s beach racing on quad bikes and Motocross racers, it’s mad, and you’d be just as bonkers not to tune in. On two wheels, Adrien van Beveren will wear the #1 plate again in 2016, but can he place it on top of the podium once more? Why not get on your seasonally inappropriate sun lounger and find out?
Plenty of the world’s junior talent are sunning themselves on the other side of the world right now (yes, we wish we were too) for the Toyota Racing Series New Zealand. If you like your racing frantic, then this is the series for you. Alumni include GT Academy star Jann Mardenborough, Porsche hotshot Brendan Hartley and 2015 LMP1 Le Mans winner Earl Bamber. We’ve got an hour’s worth of racing from round one at Ruapuna just for you… and the rest of our audience, but mainly just for you.
Of course, as your resident travel agents this week we’re here to find the perfect destination for you. So, if you’re not the beach type, and don’t fancy New Zealand, what about Thailand? The Asian Le Mans Series made its first ever trip to Buriram a couple of weeks ago, and we’ve got highlights from the action packed event. With Race Performance winning at round two in Malaysia, they could’ve wrapped up the season honours, and secured an entry to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, in the Asian kingdom. Did they do it? Watch our highlights and find out!
So we have crazy French on two wheels in Le Touquet Enduropale and crazy French on four, too, as we’ve also got delayed-as-live Andros Trophy coverage on Sunday afternoon. The field features ex-F1 drivers Franck Lagorce and Olivier Panis, as well as DTM star Adrien Tambay, to name but a few. Slightly nuts silhouette racers, spiked tyres and pretty much no grip – what could possibly go wrong?
If watching bonkers dirt bike racing on the beach for extended periods of time isn’t for you, would insane motorcyclists charging through a forest be more to your taste? Catch highlights of Alestrem, the endurance Motocross race, with all the best action. Can Jonny Walker blend speed and consistency to whisk away another trophy? Don’t worry; missing one Saturday morning gym session isn’t the end of the world. Make sure you tune in.Just in case you missed it, there are also highlights from last weekend’s dramatic FIA World Rally Championship season-opener in Monte-Carlo.And we just realised what that ICYMI thing that everyone’s been doing on social media actually stands for. Well, there’s a revelation! Happy weekend all.
