?Buzzing? Cudlin hopes to close gap
Damian Cudlin says his aim for his first MotoGP weekend is just to keep chipping away at the gap to the regular riders. The Australian, who currently races in Germany's IDM Supersport series, was a surprise choice to sit in for the injured Loris Capirossi at Pramac Ducati for this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix. Despite being totally unfamiliar with MotoGP machinery and having never tried the Motegi track before, Cudlin got down to within 4.5 seconds of pacesetter Dani Pedrosa in practice today.

Rossi hoping for Motegi improvements
Valentino Rossi admits Ducati's past form at Motegi is a source of encouragement heading into the weekend, but says the team will split their focus between immediate improvements and long-term gains. Rossi, who only confirmed he would ride in Japan at Aragon, struggled on the new part-aluminium GP11.1 last time out in Spain, equalling his worst finish of the year in tenth. Though the result owed much to tyre wear issues, Rossi was downbeat after the race and says the team will simply have to see if it can improve at Motegi, a circuit Ducati has previously won at four times.

Ecclestone says FOTA unnecessary
Formula 1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has taken a fresh swipe at the Formula One Teams' Association - saying its members would be better off focusing on making quicker racing cars. Ecclestone has always been sceptical about FOTA since it was formed in 2008 and, ahead of looming discussions to try and frame a fresh Concorde Agreement, he has once again questioned the benefit of the teams' body.
Humpe Heads to the Top at Iowa
A new stop on the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series was just what the doctor ordered for Kenny Humpe.

Humpe took home 220 points in Saturday’s 3520 sof race on at the 7/8-mile oval. The field of 16 trucks produced six cautions and the lead was exchanged 14 times with Humpe leading 61 of the 100 circuits in the event. Finishing second was Kevin McAdams with Michael Guest, Steven ORourke and Alex Ciambrone completing the top five in the event. Second for [...]

Hamilton faces race strategy dilemma
Lewis Hamilton must brace himself for a harder tyre strategy call in the Singapore Grand Prix after a push by his McLaren team to get a replacement super soft for the one he punctured in qualifying was rejected by the FIA. The McLaren driver punctured his right rear tyre during a run right at the end of Q2 - with it being suspected that the damage was caused when he ran over debris following Kamui Kobayashi's accident at the chicane. With drivers likely to need to call on all their sets of the super softs in the Singapore Grand Prix, the loss of that set could prove costly to Hamilton's chances of overhauling Red Bull Racing duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber and his own team-mate Jenson Button, who start ahead of him on the grid

Stoner vows to keep attacking
Casey Stoner has vowed to keep attacking at Motegi, despite extending his advantage over Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo following his eighth win of the season at Aragon. Stoner's current 44-point advantage means he could win the title by finishing third in the remaining four races, even if Lorenzo won every time. Stoner said however that he would continue to attack and would be looking for the win rather than championship points - particularly given his excellent form at Motegi last year, when he won for Ducati.

Vettel's victory at Monza has left the Red Bull Racing driver 112 points clear of Fernando Alonso in the title chase - and a good result in Singapore could be enough to wrap up the championship.

Mercedes launches its new DTM car
Mercedes has launched the car that it will field in next year's DTM, the C-Class Coupe. The unveiling, which took place at the Frankfurt Motor Show, comes less than 24 hours after rival manufacturer Audi took the covers off its A5 DTM and was made by Mercedes Formula 1 drivers Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg, motorsport vice-president Norbert Haug and board chairman Dr Dieter Zetsche. As is the case with the Audi and BMW machines already revealed, the C-Coupe is built to the DTM's new 2012 technical regulations that aim to primarily reduce costs by 40 per cent and improve driver safety levels significantly.

Priaulx eyes win on illness return
Andy Priaulx says victory in the AUTOSPORT 6 Hours of Silverstone would be the perfect way to mark his comeback from illness, having missed the last few months to have a tumour removed from his thyroid. The three-time WTCC champion said the break had only re-enforced his passion, motivation and appreciation for racing, and says he returned more determined than ever this weekend. That showed in qualifying, where despite having not sat in the BMW M3 since Le Mans in June he put the #56 second in class.

Red Bull vows to keep attacking
Red Bull has vowed to keep on the attack for the rest of the season, even though Sebastian Vettel is now on the verge of clinching his second world championship title. Vettel's victory at Monza means he takes a 112-point lead in the standings to the Singapore Grand Prix, where a good result could be enough for him to win the crown. But despite now being so close to wrapping up another title, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says there will be no change in attitude from the outfit

Audi left to rue cost of incidents
Audi was left to rue the cost of two individual incidents which deprived both the #1 and #2 R18s the chance to fight for victory. Early aggression had seen Allan McNish take the lead in a thrilling sequence with Peugeot's Sebastien Bourdais, but the Scot's hopes of victory in the #2 Audi were undone when he collided with the #66 JMW Ferrari at Becketts. The damage required two pit stops, the latter a serious overhaul of the front, which put him and Tom Kristenen five laps down and out of the running.

Bianchi blames handling for grid slot
Jules Bianchi has revealed that his lowly grid position for the first GP2 race of the weekend at Monza was down to a surprising change in the handling of his car from free practice to qualifying. The Frenchman sits just one point behind Giedo van der Garde in the battle for second in the championship heading into this weekend, but he was unable to capitalise on the Dutchman's poor session and will instead line up alongside him on the 10th row of the grid.
