Hi ,

After a week off I am back with the latest updates from News Racers Can Use. You will also find links to the articles from the archives that I mentioned on social media while I was on vacation for your convenience. Due to the size of this week's newsletter, The Last Lap will return next week.

On another note, as I will be at the 6 Hours of the Glen next weekend and will be traveling on the following Monday, next week's Business of Motorsport will be published on June 25th along with the latest Driver Development Roundup.
