López wins first pole for Citroën - 13th Apr 14
The opening round of qualifying for the 2014 WTCC season is complete and it was a Citroën driver taking pole position, but not the one everyone expected. José María López won the first qualifying shootout in WTCC history and this was the icing on the cake for Citroën on their maiden appearance in the series. The C-Elisée cars dominated the field, filling the three top spots in each session of this season’s opener at Marrakech. Eventually Yvan Muller and Sébastien Loeb qualified in second and third, but any of them could have been on pole as well. . Read more >>

Iconic Motorsport Adventures April - 9th Apr 14
Hi there,
Well the motorsport season is well and truly underway!!!!! There has been plenty of action from whichever form of motorsport you follow.
We've been to a couple of events lately...........
Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix. I've always enjoyed going to Melbourne for the first Grand Prix of the year. This year we were robbed of the glorious sound that a normally aspirated V8 engine revving to 18,000 rpm makes. The powers that be at the FIA in Paris have decided to turn F1 into an economy run, and introduced turbo charged V6 engines with various energy recovery systems. The cars were still pretty quick and on TV with the commentary it wont make a lot of difference, but as far as the live action goes, it is a totally new experience.. Read more >>
