Tomorrow, I am heading to this place, Sugo, for the first time, and I can't wait to see Japan's vertiginous equivalent to Cadwell Park when GTWC Asia's Japan Cup entries head out for qualifying

I rather like tracks with a 70 metre difference between their highest and lowest points, especially when they are nestled into a stunning wooded landscape

Here we go, the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours is about to blast off, with 23 cars in the top Hypercar class surely set to provide one of the great races here, with a winner wonderfully hard to pick. My first commentary shift for Radio Le Mans starts two hours into the race. Let's go

This is from where Radio Le Mans operates, the nerve centre, where we try to channel all that happens through the Le Mans 24 Hours

Please make it stop raining so that we can bring this safety car period to end and go racing again at Le Mans. Maximum respect to the drivers for keeping their cars pointing forward and staying focused

Well, after watching from the sidelines from the 16:30 start of the centenary 24H Spa, I shall finally step into the booth at 23:00 to commentate through until 08:00 with Martin Haven, starting just as the rain storm is due to strike...

Tonight, I am feeling just a little weary after my nine-hour night commentary stint at the Crowdstrike 24H Spa, but I feel a whole lot better than poor Alessandro Pier Guide must be feeling after he found the pit entry blocked. Bravo, though, to Aston Martin

Race two of the Fanatec GT World Challenge Europe will start at 14:45 at Magny-Cours and I feel confident that it will produce great scrapping and quite possibly some fireworks if last night's first race is anything to go by. Bring it on

We are in a golden year of motorsport, with F1's one-team dominance spiked, the World Endurance Championship also becoming a wonderful lottery and GT racing as competitive as ever. This weekend, though, I just can't wait to travel back in time for the Goodwood Revival

Set up is done and when the sun comes up again over Circuit de Jerez we will start the four-day extravaganza of the Lamborghini World Finals. Bring it on

Yesterday's broadcast from the GT World Challenge finale in Jeddah was made doubly historic as it was John Watson's final commentary for SRO after 15 years. He has been a joy to listen to, to work with and to hear his fabulous stories about racing and life. Viva Wattie

This is the end of life as we know it. I bought my first copy of Autosport in 1974, joined the staff at the end of 1983, began easing the shackles into freelance life in 1996 and now it is to cease being a weekly publication. I understand why, but it's a wrench

Those who have worked on Autosport across have put their heart and soul into it. Changes have been made across the years, and I didn't approve of the magazine's increasing F1 focus at the expense of the more interesting racing categories, but you could never doubt the passion

It's warm, it's dry, it's sunny and qualifying for Creventic's Six Hours of Abu Dhabi starts later this afternoon, with 52 cars on the entry list. This is the view down to Turn 1

Sun, snow and The ICE. St Moritz offers the perfect backdrop to automotive greatness, elegance and racing heritage. The cars take to the ice tomorrow, Saturday 22 February

I am a firm believer that circuits need gradient change to be great. Having a backdrop like Mugello, even on a cloudy day, adds to its majesty. Getting set for this weekend's Creventic 12H Mugello
