Its been on (Sat 4th Dec) though I have no idea if it was broadcast or not. Must have been somewhere.

Some obscure rally driver one was the last I heard.

It was on live on the night of the Donington trackday - I got in and watched most of it but the coverage was a bit dull to be honest.

They seem to be repeating it quite a bit on Eurosport and I suspect MotorsTV will have it too.

If you miss it I wouldn't worry too much, it wasn't as good as the hype and entry list would suggest.

Sorry I forgot to mention the results....

The 'Champion of Champions' prize went to Heikki Kovalainen, the Nations Cup was won by Sébastien Loeb and Jean Alesi for France. Kovalainen must be pretty chuffed, 23 years old and awarded a price for being the best driver in the world.... that nobody has heard of ;)

Still cant find a decent copy of it anywhere! - The best I have managed so far is a 90 min WMV in french!.

Should anybody have a copy I would be interested!.

I *finally* sourced a copy of this event fron the speedchannel on AVI and watched it this morning - entertaining although very biased towards the rally drivers!

Heikki Kovalainen is certainly looking like a strong talent! Shame the final was such a farce!.

Neil.

PS. Should anyone else want a copy I can point them in the right direction :)
