Weekend Motorsports Roundup: October 13-14, 2012
Weekend Motorsports Roundup: October 13-14, 2012-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:50

Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what's going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

Looks like we've got a bit of a lighter weekend on tap this time, but there's still some good, quality racing to keep you entertained. Highlights include Formula 1 in Korea, NASCAR in Charlotte, Moto GP at Twin Ring Motegi, and a World Endurance Championship race in Japan. Asia's a good place to be this weekend if you're a motorsports fan, it seems.

And if you missed watching the Aussie V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000 online last weekend, you can catch it on SPEED Sunday night.

As always, let us know about anything we might have missed in the comments, and tell us who your favorites are to take the checkered flag.
