Motorsport fans have another busy racing calendar to look forward to in 2016 as we watch the likes of Giniel, Valentino, and Lewis plying their trade.
With the Dakar Rally currently in full swing until January 16, it will be followed by the start of the international rallying season in Monte Carlo on January 22-24.
Fans of the major track racing formulas will have to wait another couple of months until the start of the World Superbike season at the end of February, while the Formula One and MotoGP seasons only get underway late in March.
