College Football Playoff: Most appearances, championships in CFP history
Aspendale Racecourse, in Australia, was the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit, opening in January 1906. The pear-shaped track was close to a mile in length, with slightly banked curves and a gravel surface of crushed cement. High Limit Racing makes its international debut this weekend at Perth Motorplex. Christopher Bell officially has 410 Sprint Car races on his rekindled dirt-track schedule. If motorbike racing games are more your style, there’s an extensive collection of bike games for you to browse.
No. 17 Clemson wins ACC title on walk-off field goal over No. 8 SMU
While seeding remains to be determined, the Sun Devils will likely be on the road for the opening round. After winning three games last season, Arizona State storms into the postseason as winners of six in a row, three against ranked competition, and eight of nine overall. Far from perfect but good enough to beat Texas for the second time, Georgia doesn’t resemble the juggernaut of the program’s recent past.
The European Touring Car Cup is a one-day event open to Super 2000 specification touring cars from Europe’s many national championships. While Super GT traces its lineage to the now-defunct JGTC, the cars are much more similar to GT3 race cars than proper touring cars, and also have much more aggressive aerodynamics. The Targa Florio was an open road endurance automobile race held in the mountains of Sicily, Italy near the island’s capital of Palermo. Founded in 1906, it was the oldest sports car racing event, part of the World Sportscar Championship between 1955 and 1973. The modern kart was invented by Art Ingels, a fabricator at the Indianapolis-car manufacturer Kurtis-Kraft, in Southern California in 1956.
It appeared as though Clemson was going to run away with the title, but SMU found its groove in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 unanswered points to tie the game with just 16 seconds to play. Probability would say this game was destined for OT, but Clemson’s Adam Randall returned the Mustang’s kickoff 41 yards, putting the Tigers just a pass away from the edge of field goal range. But the CFP stage isn’t anything new to programs like No. 2 Georgia, No. 8 Ohio State and No. 9 Clemson. Those teams not only boast several playoff appearances, but they have also been crowned champions.
Single-seater racing is not limited merely to professional teams and drivers. In the UK, the major club series are the Monoposto Racing Club, BRSCC F3 (formerly ClubF3, formerly ARP F3), Formula Vee and Club Formula Ford. Each series caters to a section of the market, with some primarily providing low-cost racing, while others aim for an authentic experience using the same regulations as the professional series (BRSCC F3). The SCCA is also responsible for sanctioning single-seater racing in much of North America. Across three seasons, the Frenchman and future 500-winner would finish no worse than 5th in the season-long points standings and deliver four wins before jumping to Team Penske in 2015.
The teams that finish the season in 3rd to 6th place enter a playoff tournament, with the winner also gaining promotion to the Premier League. The three lowest-finishing teams in the Championship are relegated to League One. Princeton claims 28 national championships, though only 15 are recognized by the NCAA.
The former West Virginia, Michigan and Arizona coach guided the Gamecocks’ seamless promotion from the Championship Subdivision, culminating in Friday’s rout of Western Kentucky to take the Conference USA crown in his third season. JSU ran for 386 yards on 56 carries, averaged 11.7 yards per pass attempt, dominated the clock and were plus-two in turnovers — a pretty clear roadmap for a blowout win. This came one week after the Gamecocks lost to the Hilltoppers; in hindsight, it’s clear Rodriguez and the offense purposely played things close to the vest.
- While individual series have different rules, and the flags have changed from the first years (e.g., red used to start a race), these are generally accepted.
- Tyres called R-Compounds are commonly used in motorsports for high amounts of traction.
- Nearly all series award points according to the finishing position of the competitors in each race.
- They are closed-wheel and often closed-cockpit purpose-built race cars intended mainly for endurance racing.
- Three drivers have been disqualified from the 2025 Tulsa Shootout due to illegal tire doping.
Various forms of competition can be referred to by the term championship. Where drivers have won more than one World Drivers’ Championship, only their first win is noted here. Ben Johnson’s time of 9.83 seconds at the 1987 World Championships men’s 100 m final was initially considered to be a world record, but this was rescinded in 1989 after Johnson admitted to steroid use between 1981 and 1988. In ,333 athletes from 153 countries participated.8 By the 2003 competition, in Paris, it had grown to 1,679 athletes from 198 countries with coverage being transmitted to 179 countries. The idea of having an Athletics World Championships was around well before the competition’s first event in 1983. In 1913, the IAAF decided that the Olympic Games would serve as the World Championships for athletics.
Friday Thrills & Spills From The Tulsa Shootout
Ohio State officially formed a football team in 1890, but the Buckeyes wouldn’t win a national championship until 1942. That year, after losing dozens of players who left to fight in World War II, Ohio State went 9-1, its only loss coming against No. 6 Wisconsin. The U.S. made history at the 2024 Short uscaterham.com Course World Aquatics Swimming Championships last month by breaking the most world records at a major international competition since the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, according to USA Swimming. They also set 28 American records, 28 championship records, two world junior records and earned 39 medals, including 18 golds, 13 silvers and eight bronzes.
14 teams have been both promoted out of and relegated from the Championship. Sunderland won their second Championship title in the 2006–07 season, after being relegated from the top division the previous season. The winning club of this division each season receives the EFL Championship trophy, which was the previous trophy awarded to the winners of the English top-flight prior to the launch of the Premier League. As with other divisions of professional English football, Welsh clubs can be part of this division, thus making it a cross-border league.
