Autosport International
Catch ASI on Motors TV
If by some chance of desperate misfortune, you missed out on a visit to last week's fantastic Autosport International Racing Car Show at Birmingham's NEC, don't panic because all is not lost. You can still catch all the highlights of the show on the Motors TV satellite channel this weekend
The first showing of the 52-minute programme, hosted by BTCC commentator Ben Edwards and Diana Binks, will be broadcast on Saturday January 22, at 6pm which will then be repeated at 11pm. The channel is also planning to run eight five-minute bulletins featuring exclusive interviews all next week.
The programme covers all aspects of the show. There are exclusive features with high profile Formula 1 names such as Red Bull Racing's David Coulthard, Minardi team boss Paul Stoddart and Ferrari's technical director Ross Brawn who was the speaker at this year's Sid Watkins lecture.
As well as all that, the programme covers all the major international motorsport series prominent at ASI, including the announcement that Brands Hatch will play host to the new A1 GP series in 2005, Gary Paffett's views on the new DTM season and SRO boss Stephane Ratel on the future of the British GT Championship, British Formula 3 and the FIA GT series.
That plus the TVR Sagaris GT racecar launch, a British Touring Car Championship preview including interviews with Luke Hynes, Jason Plato and Matt Neal, as well as a look at the spectacular Live Action Arena, should make the Racing Car Show unmissable viewing. Again.

How to Stay Out of Crashes
The one-time Schumacher rival rebooting his career Down Under
Joey Mawson made waves in the middle of the last decade, beating future Haas Formula 1 driver Mick Schumacher - among other highly-rated talents - to the 2016 German F4 title. A run in F1's feeder GP3 category only caused his career to stall, but now back in Australia Mawson's S5000 title success has set that to rights
The lesson football’s would-be wreckers could learn from racing
OPINION: The greed-driven push for a European Super League that threatened to tear football apart is collapsing at the seams. Motor racing's equivalent, the football-themed Superleague Formula series of 2008-11, was everything that the proposed ESL never could be
The F1 and Indy 'nearly man' that found contentment in Japan
Having had the door to F1 slammed in his face and come within three laps of winning the Indianapolis 500, the collapse of a Peugeot LMP1 shot meant Japan was Bertrand Baguette's last chance of a career. But it's one which he has grasped with both hands
The female all-rounder who arrived "too early"
From Formula 3 to truck racing, Dakar and EuroNASCAR via a winning stint in the DTM, there's not much Ellen Lohr hasn't seen in a stellar racing career that highlights the merit in being a generalist. But she believes her career came too early...
How Radical's latest machines fare on track

The real-life racing rogues stranger than fiction
The forthcoming Netflix film linking the world of underworld crime and motorsport plays on a theme that isn't exactly new. Over the years, several shady figures have attempted to make it in racing before their dubious dealings caught up with them
How a GP is thriving in a COVID-free territory
The New Zealand Grand Prix's mix of rising talent and big-name stars thrilled the crowds (yes, remember crowds?) assembled for the Toyota Racing Series meeting at Hampton Downs last weekend and left distant observers craving a repeat
How a much-changed Macau GP kept the party going
OPINION: The 67th edition of the Macau Grand Prix might have been a largely muted affair to the outside world without its international influx and star line-ups, another victim to the COVID-19 pandemic, but organisers deserve huge credit for keeping the party going
