BTCC open to Snetterton layout switch

Snetterton's British Touring Car Championship round may switch from its new '300' circuit in the future, according to series director Alan Gow. The circuit plays host to the next round of the series on what will be the BTCC's first visit since the Norfolk venue underwent a complete revamp, with a new infield loop being constructed to form the '300' layout

Brazil’s F1 fever may have overstepped the mark after a local prosecutor threatened Felipe Massa with a six-year jail term if he “defrauds” the sporting public by letting Ferrari team-mate Fernando Alonso past at Sunday’s grand prix.
