Le Mans: RML AD Group Encouraged by Pace & Performance
The RML AD Group Lola B08/80 HPD fulfilled much of its promise during the two-day official Le Mans Series test at the Paul Ricard HTTT in southern France on Sunday and Monday this week.

With a brisk Alpine wind cutting across the track, conditions were hardly ideal, but the team’s new HPD ARX-01c in the hands of Danny Watts, Nick Leventis and Jonny Kane set fastest time in three out of the five sessions, including Sunday evening’s run through to midnight.

Aston Martin Racing And Fernandez Choose Michelin
Aston Martin Racing knows the difference, as does Adrian Fernandez. So, when Fernandez, the 2009 Twelve Hours of Sebring LMP2 class winner and American Le Mans Series Champion, decided to team with Aston Martin Racing, one decision was easy. "We both wanted to choose Michelin," said Fernandez. Both Aston Martin Racing and Fernandez have separately enjoyed considerable success with Michelin.

Zytek leads the way in Official Test: Quifel-ASM finishes fastest during final session
2009 LMP2 Champion Quifel-ASM topped the final session of the two-day Le Mans Series test at Paul Ricard HTTT. The Portuguese team recorded a time of 1.46.584, over six tenths quicker than its closest challenger.
Frenchman Olivier Pla set the quickest time in the dying moments of the session, having been in the top three for the majority of the test. Quifel-ASM proved to be the benchmark in LMP2 throughout the 2009 season and has now carried that form into 2010.

V8 Supercar: Bargwanna Seeks Jump Into Top 10 In Adelaide
It might be a new season and he may be in a Holden instead of a Ford but Jamie Whincup is still dominating and is a short priced favourite with V8bet.com.au to continue his hot form at the Clipsal 500.
Whincup is $2.50 to win race one at the Clipsal and V8bet’s Bill Richmond said he had certainly been the punter’s pick both in the opening rounds overseas and for the first domestic round this weekend.
