Nick Cassidy
The Kiwi Formula 3 driver claimed a maiden series win in the second of three races held at Circuit Park Zandvoort near Amsterdam over the weekend. The former Toyota Racing Series star has had and up and down season so far in Europe but his race win and two second place finishes in the Netherlands has catapulted him up to fourth in the championship. He opened the season with an impressive showing in France but has been dogged by bad luck since. His climb up the ladder is timely though with just four rounds and 12 races left in the season.
Marc Marquez
The MotoGP championship leader extended the gap between himself and the chasing pack with victory at the Germany Grand Prix over the weekend. The Honda rider has completely dominated the German round of the world championship - greeting the chequered flag there on seven consecutive years across different categories. His mid-race tyre gamble paid off as the Spaniard opened up a 48 point gap atop the standings.
Will Power
The Australian IndyCar driver got a massive break of luck when he ducked into the pits just prior to a safety car being deployed late in Monday's race in Toronto. While many of his rivals, who were in front of the Team Penske driver at the time, were forced to wait behind the safety car, Power was able to complete his stop and join on the back of the field all while under yellow. As the rest of the field was forced to take a final stop Power moved to the front of the standings and was able to hold on for an unlikely victory.
