Tracy Gets His Own Back
Adrian Fernandez started off pole but was swamped immediately at the start as Tracy was plainly in no mood to wait. Scott Dixon in his first race for Chip Ganassi went with Tracy and Nakano moved to third. Michael Andretti was quickly scything through the field after qualifying poorly. Andretti reached sixth by the fifth lap and settled in behind Fernandez who had dropped behind Tony Kanaan.
Tracy started edging clear of Dixon until he caught Townsend Bell on lap 19 at the tail of the field. The small nature of the Milwaukee Oval compresses everything, including overtaking opportunities. Tracy found it difficult to find a way passed Bell, as first Dixon then Nakano closed down the race lead.
Alex Tagliani slowed and pulled into the pits, the Forsythe crew immediately stripping off the engine covers and eventually diagnosing electrical problems. Lap 34 and Tracy finally lapped Bell but now had Dixon, Nakano and Kanaan queued up behind. Tracy meanwhile moved up behind Mario Dominguez. Dominguez was eventually shown the black flag for not letting Tracy through. Dominguez then spun on the marbles after eventually bringing out the yellow flag. The entire field dived for the pits.
On lap 103 Tracy was again being held up by Bell, allowing Andretti to close in. As Forsythe's team back up their second electrically-plagued Reynard, Jimmy Vasser slowed on the back straight. Almost immediately the yellows were out. Takagi had rubbed the wall on the back straight. Takagi was now also out with suspension damage. The pits opened, but some teams waited. Too early would put them in need of a splash'n'dash late in the race. Andretii takes up the lead in this manner, but spins.
At the restart Bruno Junquiera led from Brack, Tracy, Fernandez and Dario Franchitti. Junqueira was quickly swamped and dropped to third. Bell retired with damage after brushing the wall. The race settled over the next fifty laps until the Ganassi team pitted Junqueira and Brack. It would cost them. A lap later and the yellows flew for their new teammate Dixon who almost struck the wall.
The results have launched Michel Jourdain Jr into the championship lead for the first time in his career, demonstrating the value of consistently racking up good results.

Johnson Dominates At Dover
Polesitter Ricky Rudd took the early lead, holding onto until he was passed just before the first caution, for debris, by Bill Elliott. Elliott led at the restart until Rudd took the lead again on lap 35. Former teammates Joe Nemechek and Todd Bodine tangled through turns three and four to bring out the next caution on lap 44. After the pitstops last week's winner Mark Martin emerged first, and led the field away at the restart, steadily building up a couple of seconds buffer.
The next caution came out on lap 126 when Steve Park and Ryan Newman made contact exiting turn two, spinning halfway down the straight. The incident would not have been significant except the cars ended up stopped right in leader Mark Martin's way, which saw Martin's car receive damage to his car's nose as he ran into the side of Park. It did enough damage to Martin's car that it eventually forced the car to retire later in the race.
The next caution came out with just over 100 laps to go when Jeff Green hit the wall in turn three when he also suffered a flat right front tyre. Some good work by the Yates crews moved Dale Jarrett and Ricky Rudd to the top two places, while Jimmie Johnson's stop dropped him to fourth. It would be touch and go whether any car could make it from this distance to go without another stop for fuel. Johnson was immediately up to third and soon on to the tail of Rudd, passing him on lap 306, just before the caution flags came out for Mark Martin's expiring car.
Who would pit? Who would stay out and try to make it? Most drivers pitted, while Ricky Rudd among the leaders stayed on the track. Jimmie Johnson knew he needed to stop, and was one of those to pit, dropping him from second to tenth. At the restart Rudd edged away from Newman, up in second after his early clash with Park as Johnson began his charge through the field. Lap 316 and Johnson passed Jarrett for eighth, lap 329 and he was past Robby Gordon for sixth, lap 331 and he was fifth past Elliott Sadler. Lap 334 saw two major moves as Bill Elliott went to second ahead of Newman as Johnson passed Jeff Burton for fourth.
Ricky Rudd was on a mission to get back to the lead, restarting fourth and up to third on lap 381, second two laps later. Rudd began to close in on Johnson, but almost immediately reported handling problems, and on lap 386 began to drop back through the field, having dropped out of the top ten before pitting to fix the problem. Just as the race seemed to be finally decided, Elliott took second on lap 393 and steadily closed in on the leader Johnson. Elliott got very close, but not quite close enough, Johnson finally taking the win after his third successive dominating weekend.
After falling a lap down early which he regained when Martin was involved in the Newman and Park crash, Jeff Burton finished third, while Newman himself finished fourth. The two Gordons ran well all day, Jeff finishing sixth while Robby finished eighth. Meanwhile Ricky Rudd finished 19th after his late race misfortune, which was apparently caused by a loose right rear wheel.
Result of NASCAR Winston Cup, Round 13, Dover Downs, Delaware, United States:

Rossi Runs Rampant
Another MotoGP round, and another Rossi win. It seems to be a common theme in this year's MotoGP championship as Rossi scored his fourth win of the season from five starts at the Mugello circuit in Italy. Surprisingly, this was his first win on the circuit in the top MotoGP class, having crashed in his two previous 500cc attempts. Although the Yamahas seem to be giving the Hondas something to think about, the Rossi-Honda combination is still the one to beat.
At tun one on lap three Biaggi passed Checa, with Checa passing Biaggi back at the very next turn, as Capirossi tried to hang on to the lead group but couldn't quite do so. Biaggi repeated the move of the lap before at turn one on lap four, and made it stick, as he began to pressure leader Rossi. Meanwhile, after five laps Norick Abe had moved up to eleventh after qualifying way down in nineteenth place. At the start of lap six Ukawa made it Honda-Yamaha-Honda-Yamaha as he moved ahead of Checa.
At the start of lap eight we had a new leader as Biaggi made his way into the lead for the second time this season. Though he was now leading, he wasn't very comfortable as he had Rossi right on his rear wheel. After ten laps the top two of Biaggi and Rossi had opened a small gap over the next two riders Ukawa and Checa, as they left the rest of the field in the distance. Lap thirteen and Rossi got sick of riding in Biaggi's wheeltracks, and made his move around the back of the circuit past Biaggi. One lap later and Checa made the same move at the same place on the track to pass Rossi's teammate Ukawa.
For a lap or so Biaggi was able to keep pace with Rossi, but then began to steadily lose ground. Meanwhile, despite losing third to Checa, Ukawa remained right with Checa, hoping to make his way back on to the podium again. With two laps remaining, Ukawa slipstreamed Checa down the pit straight and passed him to move back to third, Checa sitting close behind hoping for a slip by Ukawa. Rossi went on to win easily from Biaggi, who had a comfortable margin over the dicing Ukawa and Checa who finished the race in that order, separated by only a few bikelengths. A sour note came over proceedings when fans invaded the track, with hundreds if not thousands of fans spilling onto the track around the early sections of the lap as riders continued to come around to finish their race. As Rossi rode around to return to the pits, more fans continued to spill onto the track, forcing him onto the grass to avoid them.
After a slow start, Alex Barros beat home his teammate Loris Capirossi, filling fifth and sixth places ahead of a storming ride by Norick Abe who finished the race in seventh, twelve places better than where he started it. 2001 250cc champion Daijiro Katoh had his second successive fall, unusual considering his near 100 percent finishing record throughout his 250cc career.
Result of World Motorcycle Championship, Round 5, Mugello, Italy:
Standings: Valentino Rossi 120, Tohru Ukawa 77, Loris Capirossi 55, Norick Abe 52, Max Biaggi 43, Carlos Checa and Alex Barros 40, Daijiro Katoh 39 etc.
Dominance Interrupted
After a slow start to the season, James Courtney is on a roll. His season is starting to gather the same momentum in the lead Carlin seat that saw Takuma Sato dominate Formula 3 like no-one has before or since. The only thing that stopped two wins for Courtney at Silverstone was an overtaking move gone wrong, that put Courtney out of Round 11. The other half of that incident, Robbie Kerr, was able to race on to win the race, but was disqualified for his part in the clash with Courtney. The incident also cost Courtney a 15,000 pound bonus for three consecutive pole position and race one victory doubles.
In race two Courtney made no such mistake and bolted away from Mark Taylor to win
comfortably. Second again was Carbone who also was able to jump past Taylor at the start. Taylor settled into his own race and neither closed on Carbone or was caught by Antinucci. Jouanny was next with Robbie Kerr recoverring from a slow start to sixth.
Courtney has maintained his huge gap in the points standings ahead of Taylor. An off performance by Carlin's second driver Michael Keohane has dropped him down the order. The British Formula 3 circus next gathers itself at Castle Combe in three weeks.
Result of British Formula 3 Championship, Rounds 11 and 12, Silverstone, Great Britain:
Aiello's Revenge
Aiello had the event under control from the start, taking pole position by two tenths from fellow former BTCC champ Alain Menu. In the qualifying race Aiello concentrated on his own race, gradually opening a gap on the pursuing Opel of Menu. Further back though it got a little bit more exciting with Patrick Huisman (Mercedes CLK-DTM) stalled on the grid and Karl Wendlinger (Audi TT-R) off onto the grass at the first corner after a collision with the fast starting Mattias Ekstrom (Audi TT-R). Aiello though streeted away to win from Menu and Schneider. Fourth was settled with three laps to go when Martin Tomczyk (Audi TT-R) slipped past the much improved Opels of Joachim Winkelhock, Yves Olivier and Timo Scheider.
In the main race, Aiello won the start from Menu and Schneider while Tomczyk stalled. Huisman was again in the wars off the track while Olivier and Christian Abt swapped paint in the starting melee. Last start winner Jean Alesi (Mercedes CLK-DTM) was screaming up the field, keen to press his championship chances despite poor form to that part of the weekend. Thomas Jager (Mercedes) had a spin coming out of the last corner.
From here the race order settled with Aiello resuming his authority. The only mover was Marcel Fassler, who constantly pressured Jo Winkelhock race long before getting past with two laps to go. Fassler then reeled in the struggling Menu but ran out of laps to pass another Opel.
Result of Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, Round 4, Sachsenring, Germany:
Alfa Split
The opposition was in trouble early as lead Volvo driver Rickard Rydell was sent to the rear of the field having made an engine change, but still it was a BMW who led with Jorg Muller jumping through the Alfas from the second row. Dirk Muller took up position behind the two Alfas with Paolo Ruberti pressing. Luis Villamil was an early retirement with gearbox gremlins, while Romana Bernadoni went off after a clash with Salvatore Tavano's Honda.
On lap four Giovanardi dived for the lead at Nuvolari Corner and took three corners to complete the move. For Muller the game was up. Two laps later and Larini was through to second at the same spot. The Mullers consolidated third and fourth, gapping Ruberti with Tom Coronel in sixth. Peter Kox was next with Fredrik Ekblom taking Jordi Gene at the death and Rickard Rydell came through to win a fierce battle for tenth.
Giovanardi now has 20 points on his teammate, who in turn has 20 points on Dirk Muller. Next stop is Anderstorp in Sweden in four weeks.
Result of European Touring Car Championship, Round 4, Jarama, Spain:
Standings: Fabrizio Giovanardi 72, Nicola Larini 52, Dirk Muller 32, Jorg Muller 20, Rickard Rydell 14, James Hanson, Fredrik Ekblom and Paolo Ruberti 5 etc.
Vauxhall Under Threat
In drying conditions polesitter Matt Neal made the best of the start leading Hughes away from the field at the start of the first race. Hughes held formation behind the Eggsport Vauxhall until Priory on the fourth lap, taking the lead then building up an impregnable gap.
The improving Paul O'Neill took second in the Eggsport Vauxhall. Third looked like going to young Honda drvier Andy Priaulx until he was caught in traffic on the last lap and was jumped by veteran David Leslie in the Proton. Neal faded to sixth on tyres feeling the effects of the 'lead trophies' his Astra was carrying. Thompson and Menu gambled on fitting slicks and were caught out finishing eighth and tenth respectively.
Yvan Muller was tenth again, this time with electrical dramas. Kelvin Burt claimed a pair of wins in the Production car class while Aaron Slight and Tim Harvey shared the privateer class wins.
Thompson takes a four point lead over Neal into the next round, as the BTCC crosses the channel and ventures to Northern Ireland's Mondello Park for the first time.
Result of British Touring Car Championship, Rounds 7 and 8, Silverstone, Great Britain:
Standings: James Thompson 80, Matt Neal 76, Yvan Muller 62, Anthony Reid 49, Warren Hughes and Paul O'Neill 44, Andy Priaulx 40, Tim Harvey 31, David Leslie 29, Dan Eaves 27 etc.
Scuderia Italia Wins GT
Former Formula One team BMS Scuderia Italia claimed their first ever FIA GT win after a dominant performance in the series last race before some teams commit to Le Mans. Andrea Piccini cleared away from pole position in the team's Ferrari 550 and the collection of Vipers were unable to catch him or Jean-Denis Deletraz once he took over the Ferrari.
Third would be claimed by the ever consistent Labre Competition squad of Christophe Bouchut and David Terrien. Bouchut spent the first half of the race racing with the Carsport team car of Fabrizio Gollin until the Dutch Viper suffered electrical failure and retired. Vosse and Rosenblad secured fourth for Labre too. With the Listers wilting in the heat Bouchut and Terrien close within six points of the series lead of Jamie Campbell-Walter and Nicolaus Springer.
N-GT was won by the Freisinger car of Stephane Ortelli and Sascha Maassen. With the team car in fourth it was an excellent day, all but erasing JMB's lead in both championships. The JMB Ferrari was second in class ahead of the RWS Motorsport Porsche.
Result of FIA GT Championship, Round 4, Jarama, Spain:
Standings: Jamie Campbell-Walter and Nicolaus Springer 24, Christophe Bouchut and David Terrien 18, Fabio Babini, Marc Duez, Mike Hezemans and Vincent Vosse 12, Andrea Piccini and Jean-Denis Deletraz 11 etc
CART
This time there was no last lap crash, no pesky fuel-starved Penskes, no yellows, just the wide open, well not very big but still clear track of the Milwaukee Mile and Paul Tracy stuck it up them for the previous week at Indianapolis. Every time the race settled Tracy emerged at the front of the queue and ran away from the field. There was never really a lot of doubt the likely result.
Tracy led the field back out of the pits while Nakano retired with broken suspension. At the restart Tracy screamed away from Patrick Carpentier, Kanaan, Andretti, Tora Takagi and Dixon. Dominguez became the race's second retirement with fuel system problems. Andretti continued to make his way up the rankings, passing Kanaan, who was soon black flagged with a smoking car. Kanaan pitted and the team dived into the engine bay. Within moments the Forsythe crew were back looking under the covers as well as Carpentier struck problems, leaving Andretti second.
As the field restarted Franchitti struck the wall bringing the yellows out again. Tracy led the restart on lap 201. With 49 laps to go it would be a straight sprint, everyone had fuel to finish. Fernandez was second ahead of the steadily improving Max Papis, Christian Fittipaldi and Dixon. Dixon quickly lost a spot to Michel Jourdain Jr after he had a big lose, almost into the wall. The order stayed that way to the chequer.

NASCAR
Jimmie Johnson managed to achieve what he had threatened to do the previous week as at Dover Downs he went on to take the second win of his rookie season. Some fast late race laps ensured that he took the win after a slower pit stop almost cost him the chance of the win. The win and his owner Jeff Gordon's sixth place moved them up into second and third respectively in the series points standings.
Jeff Gordon led the field at the restart, but by his rookie teammate Jimmie Johnson went past on lap 144 to take over the lead, and edge out a small gap. The next caution came out on lap 216 when Matt Kenseth suffered a flat right front tyre and hit the turn three and four wall, costing a few drivers who had just made green flag stops. Jimmie Johnson retained the lead and ran off into the distance once again.
Johnson flew past Newman for third on lap 345, and took second from Elliott on lap 353. It was just a matter of time before Johnson would take the lead from Rudd as he closed the gap quickly, with the inevitable occurring on lap 363. Just when things seems finished for the day, another caution came out when Kenny Schrader's rear suspension broke. How many people would pit this time? Like earlier, most drivers pitted, including Ricky Rudd, as leader Jimmie Johnson stayed out and was the only car on the lead lap to do so.

MotoGP
The four-strokes filled the top three places on the grid, with the long pit straight working to their advantage also. As in every other race this year, Valentino Rossi sat on pole. Rossi won the race into turn one ahead of the two four-stroke Yamahas, Carlos Checa finally emerging ahead of Max Biaggi, followed by the two Pons two-strokes being split by Tohru Ukawa on the other Honda four-stroke. As they completed lap one, Ukawa passed Loris Capirossi for fourth as the top three broke away from the rest of the field, although Ukawa had joined them before the end of the second lap.

Kerr won the start of the first race. Once he got motoring though Courtney tracked down the local driver and put the pressure on. On lap four Courtney had his gap and went for it, only to clash with Kerr. With Kerr disqualified Mark Taylor became the surprise victor. Taylor had watched while the front runners took each other out of the race and hit second (behind Kerr) on lap two when Richard Antinucci spun. Ths promoted Fabio Carbone to second ahead of Matt Gilmore and Bruce Jouanny.

DTM
Frenchman Laurent Aiello returned to the top of the leaderboard at the Sachsenring as the DTM series returned to its German roots after its waterlogged trip to the 'old dart'. For the third time this year Aiello and the Audi-backed Abt Sportsline team reigned supreme with the little yellow TT-R sports coupe. Chasing the Audi home was DTM veteran Bernd Schneider in the Mercedes CLK-DTM. Completing the podium, and providing some encouragement for Opel, was Alain Menu in the Astra V8.
Meanwhile, Schneider was attacking Menu, ever looking for an opening, the battle allowing Aiello to skip away over a second per lap. Feeling held up, Schneider dived for his compulsory pit stop early, hoping to get clear air and pass Menu in the pits. The majority of the front runners pitted the following lap. Aiello's stop was slow, reducing his lead to almost nothing but still resuming ahead of Schneider who succesfully leapfrogged Menu. Tomczyk too had problems with his stop, colliding with Alesi as the Audi exited the pits, ending the race for both. After collisions with Olivier and Ekstrom earlier in the race it was a day to forget for the young Audi charger. Manuel Reuter too crashed into retirement just before half distance.

ETCC
Alfa Romeo drivers Fabrizio Giovanardi and Nicola Larini further underlined their position in the rebuilt European Touring Car Championship, taking a win each in a pair of 1-2 finishes at Jarama in Spain.
Ruberti was the early leader in race two ahead of Dirk and Jorg Muller, with Ruberti actually able to build up a lead as the two Schnitzer cars came under fire from Larini and Giovanardi. Larini was through to third on the third lap. A lap later and the Schnitzer cars were forced to capitulate, Larini and Giovanardi setting off after the AGS Alfa Romeo. It took until lap seven but a 1-2 finish for the factory squad was assured, with Larini taking the honours. With a lap to go the Mullers swept by Ruberti, who is then taken by Ekblom and Kox as differential problems deprive him a podium finish. With both the Volvos retiring with fuel pressure problems, Rustad's Nissan squeezes into the top ten behind Gene and Eric Cayrolle.

BTCC
Previously no-one has come near the factory Vauxhall squad of James Thompson and Yvan Muller in the British Touring Car Championship, and while Thompson won the main race, in the preliminary race the GM team was nowhere in sight as Warren Hughes claimed MG's first win in the BTCC. MG's great day continued in the main race with Anthony Reid taking second place.
Thompson restored the series to form in the main race, taking the lead from Reid just after the compulsory pit stops when Reid had a half lose at Copse. Neal battled teammate O'Neill for third, eventually going to three times BTCC Privateers' champ Neal with Tim Harvey's Peugeot Coupe in close company.
