Drag racing: Budweiser World finals - Santa Pod

Sweden's Monica Oberg leads the European Top Fuel Dragsters category, but only just ahead of Risto Poutiainen, from Finland, as they enter the final round at Santa Pod. It has been a close-run season. Oberg won in May at Santa Pod, but the final of the penultimate round at Hockenheim was rained off and will be run tomorrow. Poutiainen will contest that final against the surprise German newcomer, Rico Anthes. To be outright series winner, Poutiainen must beat Anthes in the delayed Hockenheim final, win the final round and hope Oberg fails to reach the semi-finals. Whatever happens, the racing will be thrilling.
