• Britain's Richard Walker stormed to victory in last weekend's Austrian truck grand prix in his Century Oils Cummins-powered Kenworth W900 vee-eight, with four other Britons in the first 10. Andy Levett, who won the previous weekend in Hungary, came eighth in his Scania T143H.
German Axel Hegmann, in a Daimler Benz, led into the first chicane, with Walker charging through to escape fellow countryman George Allen (Volvo White) and Swede Curt Goransson (Volvo N12).
Walker snatched the lead from Hegmann on lap one, holding out to finish 1.5 seconds ahead of Goransson, but the Swede was penalised and was dropped to fourth place. Britons Rod Chapman and Divina Galica came seventh and 10th.
