?Monster? Tajima Smashes Unsmashable 10-Minute Barrier in 2011 Pikes Peak Hillclimb

The Suzuki SX4 is a fine little compact, but it isn?t often we?d use its name in the same sentence as the word ?monster.? Today we can use it with that word twice, because one monster of an SX4 just broke a barrier considered to be unbreakable?and it did so with a man known simply [...]

Bortolotti takes emphatic Spa pole

Mirko Bortolotti claimed his second Formula 2 pole position of the season with an emphatic display in a wet first qualifying at Spa-Francorchamps. The Italian, whose previous pole was followed up by a race win at Silverstone, was the only driver to dip into the 2m33s bracket, leaving him more than 1.3 seconds clear of the rest of the field. Torrential rain in the morning ensured the track remained wet throughout qualifying, but it gradually improved during the session and Bortolotti took full advantage, waiting until the final 10 minutes to make his charge
