• Scania will pull out of truck racing at the end of this year's season when its contract with RH Racing Team ends. "The engineering benefits we can reap from participating in truck racing are not justified by the considerable costs involved," the company says.
• Scania may establish a new plant in the UK, Holland, Spain or Italy, following the introduction of its three-year 295 million programme to increase truck output capacity by 50% worldwide.
• Truck racer Rolf Bjork, the first Swede to get involved in racing, is pulling out to concentrate on haulage and his career as a film stuntman.
Rod Chapman (Volvo N10) leads the Lydden Truckspeed Leaderboard by five points, having taken second place in round five last Sunday. Les Allen, who was a comfortable winner in round five, is now second place on the leaderboard with his Ford Louisville. Chris Tucker (Ford Louisville) is third and Mike Johnson (Ford Louisville) fourth.
The final races will be help on 18-19 November at Lydden Race Circuit near Dover.
