- Michelin Pilot Challenge - Second on the grid, Alexandre Prémat's RS1 Porsche ran out of fuel during the final lap of the fourth round of the Michelin Pilot Challenge. The No. 28 718 GT4 RS CS - also driven by Stevan McAleer - was well on its way to a top-three finish, but had to let the win to the No. 56 Murillo Racing Mercedes-AMG GT4 driven by Koch-Foss.
- IMSA - In case you missed it, the car that won the Mid-Ohio GP in the GTD class was disqualified. After post-race scrutineering, we learned that the No. 70 Inception Racing McLaren 720S GT3 was disqualified due to weight below the minimum requirement. This gave the victory to the No. BMW. The No. 12 VasserSullivan Lexus RC F GT3 of Montecalvo-Telitz finally finished on the podium.
- IMSA (Bis) - With yesterday's win in the #10 Wayne Taylor Racing car driven by Filipe Albuquerque-Ricky Taylor, the Acura ARX-05 remains undefeated at Mid-Ohio, with five wins in as many appearances.
- 24H Series - Last weekend was the third round of the 2022 24H Series season: the 12H Hockenheimring. The Phoenix Racing Audi #18 with Michael Doppelmayr-Pierre Kaffer-Elia Erhart-Swen Herberger won the event, thus consolidating its lead in the overall standings. The No. 18 won its duel with another R8 LMS GT3 EVO II, the No. 34 Car Collection Motorsport of Johannes Dr. Kirchhoff-Max Edelhoff-Elmar Grimm, the GT3-Am winner.
- Formula 1 - Of course, this category does not concern us... but here we are dealing with a regular of the Endurance paddocks. Toyota Gazoo Racing reserve driver Nyck de Vries will take part in his first Grand Prix weekend in Barcelona this week. The Dutchman will replace Nicholas Latifi at Williams Racing on Friday for FP1.
- Maserati - If we all dream of a return to competition of Maserati, we will have to be satisfied with the name of its future convertible: MC20 Cielo. MC stands for Maserati Corse, 20 refers to 2020 - the year that marked the beginning of the brand's new era - and Cielo ("sky") underlines the fact that this is a model dedicated to the pleasure of driving outdoors.
