World Championship crowns to be claimed - not to be missed on TV  Title battles will be coming to a head in the FIA World Endurance Championship this weekend in the second of the two-round visit to the Far East. The outcome of the 6 Hours of Shanghai in China will likely see World Endurance Champions crowned, and title battles in other classes brought to a head.  The increasing interest in motorsport, and endurance racing in particular, has been helped enormously by the patronage of global movie and entertainment star Jackie Chan who will be in attendance this weekend.
