GT4 European Cup - Round 4 - Spa - 26 Highlights

As Mallock said before the podium, you wait 18 months for a win, and 2 come at once. For the second race at Spa, on a sunny Saturday morning, the GT4s went out on to the track, 45 seconds after the Dutch GT4 cars got started. The race was less eventful than yesterday's, with a much lower attrition rate; Michael Mallock in the nr32 RS Williams Aston Martin GT4 took the victory.  After yesterday's puncture that took away their chances for a podium, Buncombe and Ordoñez in the nr14 RJN Motorsport Nissan 350Z claimed second place.  Pierre-Brice Mena in the nr18 BMW M3 took 3rd   ahead of Henry Fletcher and Hunter Abbott in the nr6 Ginetta G50 who were tailing him until the end. Pole setter Maxime Martin in the nr55 Ice Pole Racing Team Porsche 997 GT3 retired in the 4th lap due to mechanical issues.
Denis Donkervoort won the Supersports category for the second time this weekend in his nr103 Donkervoort D8GT. Augustin Eder came second in the nr108 KTM Xbow with Athanasios Ladas taking 3rd in the nr109 KTM Xbow.

TT 2009 Review

"Best ever TT coverage" Motorcycle News

"It doesn't matter how many times you watch racing from the Island, it never becomes any less compelling" Simon Arron, Daily Telegraph

"Simply put - if you were there, you need this. If you weren't, you need it even more" Streetfighters

The 2009 Isle of Man TT Official Review delivers comprehensive coverage of a record-breaking event, with edge-of-the-seat drama from every race, special features and informed commentary from Steve Parrish and James Whitham.

Produced for the first time by North One Television, there’s more on-board cameras with top riders than ever before and the slow-motion sequences recorded with the Hi-Motion camera are a spellbinding innovation. The skill it takes to control 240bhp superbikes at over 190mph has never been so spectacularly captured.

Experience every vital moment, including John McGuinness scoring his 15th TT win and setting a new outright lap record - an average speed of 131.578mph around the 37.73-mile course. There’s the unforgettable PokerStars Senior TT triumph by Steve Plater, the fearsome battles between Ian Hutchinson and Guy Martin, the heartbreak of Bruce Anstey and Cameron Donald, the emotional return of the Dunlop name to the winner’s step and much more.

Plus, Sidecar legend Dave Molyneux’s 14th TT win and the inaugural TTXGP - a race for clean emission motorcycles which once again put the TT at the forefront of motorcycle technology.

Dramatic action, incredible on-board footage, interviews and behind-the-scenes features make this the essential record of another historic year for the Isle of Man TT.


"This year's footage, courtesy of North One Television, has been some of the best we've been treated to" Motorcycle News

"It doesn't matter how many times you watch racing from the Island, it never becomes any less compelling. Recommended: watching a sidecar outfit hurtle down Bray Hill. Not Recommended: sitting on that sidecar outfit" Simon Arron, Daily Telegraph

"A  bonanza of race footage from helicopters, on-board and tracksie cameras, pit and paddock coverage and more. The action flows right through practice week and race week with commentary from Steve Parrish and James Whitham, and includes all of the usual racing classes from Senior to Supersport and everything in between - check out Cameron Donald's unofficial lap record set during practice and then his monumentally unlucky crash afterwards. Also featured are the sidecars in frenetic three-wheeled action and complete coverage of the TTXGP in all its aphonic glory, plus the iconic parade lap by Agostini and Rossi. Simply put - if you were there, you need this. If you weren't, you need it even more"Streetfighters

2009 Powerboat P1 - Round 3 - San Benedetto Del Tronto

The crew of SNAV OSG crowned a weekend to remember as they completed a memorable double in treacherous conditions in San Benedetto del Tronto.

Giancarlo Cangiano and Giovanni Carpitella dominated the 76.99 nautical mile race from start to finish to keep their Evolution-class title hopes alive.

"I am very happy that this victory cancelled the double no-score of Istanbul," said a delighted Carpitella. "With the winning of the Italian Grand Prix of the Sea we have moved closer to the leader in the Evolution standings and ready to attack them in Gothenburg.

"We worked very hard between the races of Istanbul and San Benedetto and are very happy to find a good balance of the boat."

Only three boats managed to complete the gruelling Endurance race following the withdrawals of #77 Lucas Oil Outerlimits and #66 Cranefields Wine on the opening lap, #10 Cigarette Smash Poker on lap three and #53 Metamarine Pignolo 53 three laps from the end of the 13 lap race.

Having been unable to compete in yesterday's race due to engine difficulties, the Belgian #33 Furnibo outfit overhauled local favourites Metamarine Pignolo on the third lap. The 54-second gap SNAV OSG had established over its nearest rivals allowed Cangiano and Carpitella to back off slightly in order to preserve its Mercury engine.

The retirement of Marco Pennesi and Luca Nicolini in the Metamarine boat enabled the British #47 Silverline boat to take the third and final podium spot and maintain a healthy 119 point lead at the top of the Powerboat P1 World Championship standings.
