We don't want to miss not a single race of the Corvette Racing Team in the 2008 Le Mans Series that's why I came up with the right schedule for us to follow. As an all-time fan of Corvette Racing, we hope that they'll get great results just like the good all days. If you don't have the chance to see them in action live, it'll be televised in either ABC, Speed Channel™ or  NBC sports just in case you were asked to babysit on game day.

For the first time in their racing career, the Speed brothers were able to put their skills into real time as both Alex and Scott brought out their best skills at the Florida Kart Competition. They will be doing a campaign for the 2008 Florida Winter Tour in Birel DD2 beginning at Homestead Raceway on January 12-13. The Speed brothers were looking forward to have the best racing competition and a great opportunity to show their best assets on the race track.
 
Scott Speed said, "Obviously my goals are to win. I don't remember going into a race with a different objective but it will certainly be a pleasure for me to just compete again in a sport that I have loved for so long. I hope that I will have enough time to properly commit to the races and to test a bit before, but my schedule changes so much that its hard to plan. I keep my fingers crossed."

The brother will not be using a Mercedes 190e radiator as a part of their car parts but both will be using the teams' auto parts in order to pull out great skills to compete with each other.

"Scott and I are very competitive in everything we do together. So of course, I look forward to kicking his butt! To be honest, I am just looking forward to the competition from everyone. The DD2 class will be tough and I will always push hard to be on the top step of the podium for the Birel team," said Alex.

Champ Car driver Will Power (No. 5 Aussie Vineyards Team Australia DP01) has recently earned the coveted Sir Jack Brabham Award at the CAMS Australian Motorsport Awards in Melbourne. This award is considered as one of the most prestigious awards for Australians that are involved in motor sports racing. The Sir Jack Brabham Award, named after the first Australian to win the Formula 1 World Championship is awarded to an Australian driver that achieves titles in international competition.

Power commented: "It is such an honour to receive this award with Sir Jack Brabham's name on it. I have to thank the CAMS Board for their nomination as well as my team, Team Australia, because without them earning this award would not be possible. As an Australian driver you are always aware of the absolutely amazing things Sir Jack accomplished in his career. He is a true legend of Australian sport and world motorsport. I really have to thank Craig Gore and Derrick Walker for the opportunity to race for such a great team in this fantastic open-wheel championship, the Champ Car World Series."

Craig Gore, Team Australia Co-Owner also commented: "Will has come a long way as a driver this year, worked very hard and deserves a lot of credit for what he has achieved. He is very honoured to receive this award that carries the name of the legendary Sir Jack Brabham, because there is no bigger name in Australian motorsport than Sir Jack. He thoroughly deserves this award for all his hard work."

Power received the award with his several achievements including two victories in Champ Car races.

For the first time ever, Team Germany has won the Race of Champions (RoC) Nations Cup. The team of Michael Schumacher and Sebastian Vettel won the final round of the race with Vettel beating fellow Formula 1 driver Heikki Kovalainen.

Check out what the two German drivers said after the race:

Michael Schumacher:
“In the first heat of the final I just stalled the car and that was it! Then I was waiting for Heikki to come back round so at least we could have some fun. I knew I could rely on Sebastian! Actually it turned out really good; the two young ones could fight whilst the two retired drivers could relax! There weren’t any balls or any goals so it was a little bit easy for us to win at Wembley today.”

Sebastian Vettel:
“I didn’t expect that. I had a strong team-mate in the beginning when I needed help. After that it was quite good. We had the draw against England, which was spectacular. The crowd was alive! I raced against Marcus in his own car; so almost like in his living room! I was already putting together all my excuses; I didn’t expect to win at all!
Meanwhile, the complete list of participants at RoC includes:

    * Seven-time Formula One World Champion Michael Schumacher
    * Formula One star Jenson Button
    * Reigning World Touring Car Champion, Andy Priaulx
    * Red Bull Racing’s David Coulthard
    * Triple Champ Car Champion Sébastien Bourdais
    * Seven-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen
    * Former DTM Champion Mattias Ekström
    * Reigning NASCAR Champion Jimmie Johnson
    * Eight-time X-Games Champion Travis Pastrana
    * Double World Rally Champion, Marcus Grönholm
    * Renault F1’s Heikki Kovalainen
    * Scuderia Toro Rosso’s Sebastian Vettel
    * 1995 British Rally Champion Alister McRae
    * World Touring Car Championship star Yvan Muller
    * 2003 World Rally Champion, Petter Solberg
    * Five-time Norwegian Rally Champion, Henning Solberg

Two-time DTM champion Matias Ekstrom has recently defended his "Champion of Champions" title during the final battle at the Race of Champions (RoC). The Swedish driver faced seven-time Formula 1 champ Michael Schumacher (Team Germany) during the exciting final racing event.

Ekstrom commented after the race: "I didn't start off very good but it's turned out to be a nice event. At the end of the day everybody wants to win The ROC. To come here in front of all the spectators to this nice event, for me I really enjoy it every time. I wouldn't say it's that easy, whether it's seven-time Formula 1 Champion or four-time Touring Car Champion, all of the drivers are very good. If you get your rhythm going, any one of them could win. The track layout was a bit more technical this time after France last year. The first turn on the outside was really demanding."

Meanwhile, Team Germany won the ROC Nations Cup finals, thanks to F1 newcomer Sebastian Vettel who made a sweet victory over the Finnish driver Heikki Kovalainen.
