Some news from the world of motorsport.

EDC Round 6 Pozan Poland,

Round 6, the final round for the 2008 championship took place in Poznan, Poland this weekend.

Drivers from the UK, Holland & Poland added a real Euro feel to this the final round.

There could be only one 08 champion, everything was to play for as the mist cleared at the ultra winding track!

The 6th and final round of the Japaneseusedcars.com European Drift Championship made its way to Poznan Circuit in Poland. This is the home track for championship regular, Maciej Polody and everyone would be expecting a good result from him this round.

The track at Poznan takes a fast left hand corner into a fast right. The track has a straight after the second corner into a tighter right but for this round, a chicane was set up on he straight to make the track more challenging. This chicane turned out to be quite the trap with the only way to negotiate it properly was to stay on the throttle and not get too much angle or the line and momentum into the final corner would be lost.more here...

Time Attack Round 6,

2008 has been a corker of a year for Time Attack not only as a series itself but for the people along for the ride; drivers, teams, sponsors & fans, the Time Attack family just keeps on getting bigger and better.

This year we have been treated to what has to be the best track action the UK has ever seen meaning that those in for 2009 (there is a long list of hopefuls already) will have to step up their game and their machines if they want to take or get near to the records set so far!

Some of the drivers made it to Snetterton on Saturday before the big day for some last minute testing or to grab some seat time having not been here before, there were a few casualties and unfortunately some of the Club Challenge cars had problems which eliminated them from running at Modified Live / Time Attack Round 6 on Sunday.

The most frustrating message received was of one for drivers stuck in New York with his flight delayed by 24 hours knocking him out through no mechanical or personal fault. more here...

WRC Wales,

The Frenchman went ahead of Ford's overnight leader Jari-Matti Latvala on the final Port Talbot stage in South Wales to beat the Finn by 12.7 seconds for his first victory in the classic British event.

"This one was incredible," said Loeb, who had already clinched his fifth successive title in Japan last month, after chalking up his 48th career win.

"The ice made conditions really tricky. With no gravel crews I didn't like it and I've not been happy all weekend. But today we had a good, good fight and it was exciting to fight with Jari-Matti," he told the official World Rally Championship website.

Loeb roared through the penultimate Rheola stage and would have seized the lead there had he not collected a 10-second penalty for starting too early, leaving him still 2.2 seconds adrift of the Finn with 20km remaining.

Throwing caution to the wind, Loeb was 4.9 seconds quicker than Latvala on the final run to end Ford's hopes of a third manufacturers' title in a row.

Organisers later rescinded Loeb's 10-second penalty after onboard camera footage showed he had started the stage at the correct time.

"Finally we won and it's a very good feeling," said the Frenchman, who ended the year with 122 points from a maximum 150 available.

Ford's Mikko Hirvonen, winner in Britain last year, finished overall runner-up with 103 points after crossing the line eighth.

Loeb's Spanish team mate Dani Sordo was third in Wales, one minute and seven seconds behind Latvala who was gracious in defeat.

"The better man won today," said the Ford driver. "I tried to go as fast as I could. I couldn't do any better."

Norway's former world champion Petter Solberg was fourth for Subaru with Suzuki's Swede Per-Gunnar Andersson matching his team's best result in fifth place.

Italy's MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi made it to the finish in 12th place in a Ford Focus, more than 13 minutes slower than Loeb.

Citroen ended the season with 191 points to Ford's 173 with Subaru third on 98. more here...
