We head to Japan where Formula E finally made its debut. Maserati MSG Racing's Maximilian Guenther overcame polesitter Oliver Rowland (Nissan) to take a the chequered flag first in the inaugural Tokyo E-Prix on Formula E's first visit to Japan - making it five different winners from the opening five races in Season 10

To Kenya and the always tough test of the WRC Safari Rally where Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen clinched their second victory at the event, repeating their 2022 triumph. This win was solidified through an outstanding display on the rally's first full day, Friday, where they dominated by being the quickest in each of the six stages, securing a lead of nearly one minute.

To America where’s there’s always a NASCAR race to keep you happy.

And back home where the Easter holiday brought out half a dozen race meetings all over the country with the highlight being the British GTs at Oulton Park where the GB4 support race saw a 17 British girl win on her single seater debut.
