1.15, 2.10, 2.45 Motor Racing from Kyalami: The South African Grand Prix
From the blistering heat of Rio to the rarefied atmosphere of Johannesburg and live coverage of round two of the Formula One World Championship. Alain Prost was first on the board in Brazil but signs were that Britain's Derek Warwick in the Renault, although a non-finisher, will be a constant threat to Piquet's crown this season. Can Martin Brundle, another point scorer in Brazil in the Tyrrell, do it again? Murray Walker and James Hunt will have the answers.

Britain's only Olympic shooting gold medal was won by Bob Braithwaite in Mexico, 1968. but hopes are high for similar success this year in Los Angeles. This competition, which has attracted all the top European shooters, will give Britain's selectors a form-guide for the four-member Olympic team.
