On Sunday, Greg Minnaar became only the third rider to win a men’s downhill World Championship title on home soil.

Local runner Mapaseka Makhanya raced to victory in the Pretoria leg of the SPAR Women’s 10km Challenge on Saturday, virtually assuring her of winning the SPAR Grand Prix series and with it the Nissan Micra.

Meanwhile, world Moto GP champion Jorge Lorenzo kept his championships alive by winning the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

In the United States, the city’s health code fell on deaf ears when the noise levels created by the IndyCars at the Baltimore Grand Prix went well beyond those deemed acceptable.
