Poland greeted the World Rally for the first time since 1973, when Adchm Warmbold won in a FIAT 124 Spider Abarth. The location had changed since the 70's base of Krakow, and now found home in the Polish lake district town of Mikolajki.

The WTCC moved to the picturesque Moravian circuit of Brno in the Czech Republic. The Intercontinental Rally Challenge moved to the world-famous Ypres Rally, a specialist asphalt event favoured by the Belgians much like the Scandinavians favour Rally Finland. The V8 Supercar Championship moved to Hidden Valley for its first outing since the departure of CEO Cameron Levick.

An amazing mixture of international motorsport events took place. The notoriously tough Acropolis rally was the destination of the WRC, whereas the BTCC moved to North Yorkshire's Croft circuit. Many eyes were focused on Le Mans and the 77th running of the 24 Heures du Mans, the worlds most famous motorsport event.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of V8 Supercars Australia has resigned. Cameron Levick becomes the latest high profile member of the V8 Supercars organisation to resign in a week, following Category Technical Director (CTD) Campbell Little out of the door.

A whole host of tin-top action took part around the world this weekend. The British Touring Car Championship went to Oulton Park in Cheshire, the World Touring Car Championship was at Valencia and the V8 Supercar Championship visited Symmons Plains in Tasmania.
