Loeb: Crash was concentration lapse

Sebastien Loeb put his Rally Australia crash down to a simple lapse in concentration, explaining that he had been distracted by reading a split time on his Citroen's dashboard. The reigning champion rolled several times on SS4 this morning, just after he had taken the lead from his team-mate Sebastien Ogier.

Muller tops opening GP3 practice

Nico Muller upstaged the GP3 championship contenders to top the first free practice session of the weekend at Monza. Five drivers have a mathematical shot at the title this weekend, although realistically the showdown is between ART team-mates Valtteri Bottas and James Calado. But nobody could do anything about Muller (Jenzer) once the Swiss driver moved to the top with six minutes remaining in practice, and went quicker still with his next flying lap.

Chrysler?s Eight-Speed Transmission to be Standard on Most V-6 300 and Charger Models

Later this month, six-cylinder Dodge Chargers and Chrysler 300s will begin arriving at dealers with eight-speed automatic transmissions. Until now, the Charger and 300 used an older Mercedes-Benz-designed five-speed autobox?and it performed well enough in our evaluations?but like all automakers, Chrysler has to pursue better fuel economy, as well as better acceleration and more bragging [...]

Flying Muller secures Valencia pole

As expected, Yvan Muller kept on hammering his opposition in qualifying at Valencia on Saturday, setting his fourth pole position of the year by almost half a second. After heading both free practice sessions earlier today, Muller produced a 1m42.649s to take pole position in his RML-run Chevrolet Cruze. Points leader, Huff will start second, but his 1m43.105s was the best part of a half a second slower.
