Kris Meeke was the revelation of the weekend. The Albatec Peugeot 208 hasn’t had much success this year, but he was flying it in.



Unfortunately a puncture in heat 2 and a disqualification for heat 3 – due a rather, er, “enthusiastic” overtaking move – put him out of contention for the final.



When you find rallycross just isn’t challenging enough, then you need to start racing whilst on fire…























Loeb was very quick and made it through to the semi-finals, but he wasn’t quite fast enough to make it to the final.



Irishman Derek Tohill took the win in the Touring Car final, extending his Championship lead. He won again last weekend in Austria and has now been crowned 2013 Touring Car champion.



Frenchman Fabien Pailler was very rapid all weekend and it was only an unlucky moment at the start of his semi-final that put him out of contention. He finished the race, but not all his bodywork was in place…



Reigning Champion and current Championship leader Timur Timerzyanov has yet to win a race this year, but he finished in the top 4 again and extended his lead.



The Supercar final saw an all Norwegian front row of Petter Solberg and Andreas Bakkerud. Solberg was fastest off the line, but his rear tyres were shot and, after swapping positions with Bakkerud twice, Bakkerud eventually passed Solberg and pulled away.



It was one of the best rallycross finals I’ve seen in person, with positions (and paint) changing all over the place. Foust was fighting for third, but ended up parking his car trackside…



I wanted to see Solberg win, but Bakkerud was the quicker driver and Solberg clearly agreed, as he was the first person to congratulate him.



Great to see such a good show of sportsmanship and a fantastic note to end a superb weekend of racing on. Roll on next years Championship!
