    An IndyCar race victory that's created special memories for Scott McLaughlin

    An IndyCar race victory that's created special memories for Scott McLaughlin


    His win at the Indy 200 in Ohio marks his second in the class - but first in front of his parents who watched on.

    McLaughlin acknowledges the nerves his Dad in particular go through in pit lane.



    McLaughlin's now seventh in the driver's standings, two points behind compatriot Scott Dixon who finished fifth today.

    Elsewhere, Carlos Sainz has won his maiden Formula One race, taking the chequered flag in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

    Zhou Guanyu has survived an opening-lap crash after his car flipped and slammed into fencing at 260 kilometres per hour in front of thousands of fans.



    Liam Lawson has finished third in the Formula Two feature race.
