V8 Supercar: Tander tilts at V8 Supercar $2 million Grand Slam
Toll Holden Racing Team’s Garth Tander is now the only man that can claim the $2 million V8 Supercar Grand Slam following a clean sweep of the magnificent Clipsal 500 on the streets of Adelaide today.
The incredible Adelaide event attracted a huge four-day crowd of 277,800 which is the second highest attendance figure in the history of the Clipsal 500, bettered only by the tenth anniversary year.
In a race that had everything, Tander reigned supreme as the winner of the first of four legs of the Grand Slam with the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, Gold Coast SuperCarnivale and Sydney Telstra 500 to come.

2010 Sebring 12: Genoa Racing Has One Veteran And Two Young Guns For Saturday's Twelve Hours Of Sebring
Genoa Racing's driver roster for Saturday's Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring is a mixture of sports car legend and up-and-coming stars, and they're all out to break some records.
The legend is Andy Wallace of Oxford, England, a great candidate for the Sebring Hall of Fame because he has more overall podium finishes in this event than anyone else with 10. Wallace, who turned 49 last month, will make his 18th start in this race on Saturday, and he'd like to pad his record here with another podium finish. He has two overall victories and two additional class victories here, as well as five second-place finishes and three thirds overall.

The car's tub was damaged in an accident around noon on Monday when Tom Sutherland spun and hit a guardrail off Turn 7 as the Zionsville, Ind.-based team prepared for Saturday's Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida.

Sebring 12: Eighteen Years Later, the Truth Comes Out
Race car drivers will do just about anything to win the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
Just ask Andy Wallace.
As he prepares to drive Genoa Racing's bright red LMPC car, No. 36, with Tom Sutherland and J.R. Hildebrand in Saturday's 58th edition of the marquee event for both the American Le Mans Series and Sebring International Raceway, Wallace remembered the circumstances surrounding one of his two overall victories in the most popular endurance sports car race in North America.

Lap of Sebring with Adrian Fernandez
"From the start-finish straight you head towards the first left-hand corner, which is extremely tricky as it is so bumpy. You gradually slide the car to the right on the way out but the exit is blind, so you don’t see it until the last minute. The best thing is to take as tight a line as possible, as then you avoid the worst of the bumps.
