Massa not pinning hopes on rule shift
Felipe Massa says Ferrari is not pinning its title hope beliefs solely on the fact that changes to the way teams can use blown diffusers from the British Grand Prix could mix up the order at the front of the field. Although Red Bull Racing's rivals are all hopeful that the ban on the off-throttle use of blown diffusers will allow them to close the gap on the world championship leaders, Massa says that Ferrari will need to keep pushing hard elsewhere if it is to win the championship.

FIA to experiment with double DRS zones
The FIA plans to keep experimenting with double DRS zones for the rest of the season - even though it believes the concept did not work at the Canadian Grand Prix. Race director Charlie Whiting said on Friday that both he and drivers did not believe that the second DRS zone in Canada, which was situated on the start/finish straight, was a success - because it handed too much of an advantage to a driver who had already overtaken his rival in the first zone. However, Whiting said that it was not straightforward to create a system that would automatically prevent a driver using a second DRS zone if he had already got past his rival.

Ganassi driver Franchitti led much of the race, with Helio Castroneves (Penske) and Tony Kanaan his main rivals, in the latter's strongest run since joining KV Racing Technology for 2011. All three drivers had stints in the lead amid some classic racing on the much-loved short oval, but both the Brazilians would hit trouble in the closing stages, with Kanaan spinning into the wall with 29 laps to go, and Castroneves having to pit with a deflating tyre, leaving him ninth at the flag

Toyota testing new LMP1 car
Toyota has been testing an all-new LMP1 car since last year, and could return to the Le Mans 24 Hours as early as 2012, according to this week's AUTOSPORT magazine. The Japanese manufacturer commissioned the machine, which is known to incorporate hybrid technology and comply with the 2011 prototype technical regulations, from racing car constructor Dome. When asked about the possibility of Toyota returning to top-line prototype racing, Vincent Beaumesnil, sporting manager of Le Mans organiser the Automobile Club de l'Ouest, said: "We are in contact with many manufacturers who are interested in LMP1, not just Toyota." Toyota last competed at Le Mans as a full manufacturer in 1999, but supplied engines to the Rebellion LMP1 squad on a customer basis this year.

Busch docked points for infraction
Kyle Busch and his team have been penalised with the loss of six championship points after his car failed post-race inspection at Pocono. After finishing third in Sunday's Sprint Cup series race, the #18 Toyota driven by Busch was found to be too low on the left-front, going beyond the tolerances mandated by the NASCAR rulebook. The six points docked to Busch as a result don't impact on his championship position, as he remains fifth in the standings now only four points ahead of his brother, Penske's Kurt Busch

With a heritage dating back to the days of the Pebble Beach road races, Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca is a touchstone of� American road racing.� The competitors of the inRacingNews Challenge were lucky enough to pay a visit to the mecca during 2011 Week Five for a week’s worth of online racing.

Golombeck didn?t disappoint, scoring 166 points, most of any driver on the weekend. But despite Tobar?s usual win from the pole after leading every lap, he only finished seventh in Ford points on the week, as a number of championship rivals including Jon Moore, Henri Salminen, and Chris Hughson outscored [...]
