RE-START OF THE 24H SERIES The endurance racing series continues in Portugal on the second weekend in June. Autorama Motorsport will be at the start with two top VW Golf TCRs. Jasmin Preisig will be taking part for the first time.

RETURN TO THE SM CALENDAR For the first time since 2015, the La Roche-La Berra hill climb will be held again in exactly one year's time. It will also be the first SM race on the mountain after almost two years.

NO MOUNTAIN CHAMPIONSHIP As the first FIA championship ever, the International Automobile Federation had to cancel the 2020 European Hill Climb Championship completely. Ronnie Bratschi wanted to take part in it with the newly built Mitsubishi.

LITTLE THERE WILL definitely be no slalom and mountain championships this year. On the other hand, rally and kart drivers can hope. There is a new provisional race calendar for them, with titles being awarded.

SIMRACING BEGINNER In real life, Sébastien Buemi often sits in Red Bull Racing's high-tech F1 simulator. In the virtual Formula E Challenge, however, he is still struggling a little. There are reasons for this.
