A fantastic result for Endless equipped cars in this weekends Rally NZ. It has been the 40th aniversary running of the Rally and as per usual all the top drivers enjoyed the fast flowing roads of the rally.

Fords number two driver Jari-matti Latrvala pulled off a last stage win to take the Rally win from Sebastien Ogier. The last days competition was heart in the mouth stuff with the title going down to the wire, any one of four drivers having a shot at the win going into the final stage of the event.

In the PWRC class local boy Hayden Paddon and John Kennard took the top honours from Emma Gilmour and Glenn Mcneal. Both of these teams using Endless brake pads in their Mitsubishi and Subaru cars respectively.

From the outset Hayden set a blistering pace to take a comfortable lead of over a minute going into day two, some of the competition fell by the wayside in the early stages trying to match his pace. From the start of day two Hayden just needed to consolidate this lead, which he did so. The only hiccup being a clutch problem giving him a few jitters during the final few stages.

Another superb drive by Hayden and Emma, We at prosport are proud to be associated with both of these top teams.

Jenson Button and his Brawn GP team were crowned Formula One champions with a race to spare in an action packed Brazilian Grand prix on Sunday.

Button finished fifth to become Britians 10th world champion, with closest rival and team mate Rubens Barrichello suffering a late puncture and crossing the line eighth after starting his home race on pole position.

Button, who belted out an off-tune "We Are The Champions, My Friends" over the team radio on his slowing down lap, was ecstatic after a rain-hit qualifying session had left him starting 14th.

"Oh what a race. I am world champion, I am world champion. Its been such an interesting season," he said, embracing his mechanics before a congratulatory from Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone.

"It is really amazing. Today was such an awesome race and I am world champion. I never expected to be world champion in Formula One.
