Oil spill cancels MotoGP practice

Thursday afternoon practice for the Assen MotoGP round has been cancelled due to poor track conditions in the wake of an oil spillage in an earlier Moto2 session. An engine failure on Alex Baldolini's Moto2 bike coated much of the already-damp track with oil, and it proved impossible to clear the surface sufficiently and still allow enough time to run all the world championship practice sessions.

Taskforce set up to revive French GP

French prime minister Francois Fillon has created a taskforce charged with resurrecting the French Grand Prix. The group includes Paul Ricard circuit director Gerard Neveu, which suggests that the track that hosted the race 14 times between 1971 and 1990 is the most likely venue. As an active circuit, it could allow the French Grand Prix to return to the calendar as early as 2013 if a promoter were to be able to strike a deal for a world championship race

Delivering at Charlotte

Charlotte Motor Speedway?s internal road course marks the halfway point to the inRacingNews Challenge championship. With only eight of 12 rounds counting in the standings, and most drivers looking to set their season points totals through those first eight, Week Six was more pivotal than ever for top sim racers like Marius Golombeck in Pontiac Solstice and Gabriel Tobar in Spec Racer Ford.

Golombeck took Pontiac Solstice class victories in both of his starts, while Tobar went one for two in SpecRacer Ford; meanwhile, Tobar took poles in both races, while Golombeck took one.
