Motor Sport: Ireland's Adam Carroll finished third in the sprint race on the final day of the A1 Grand Prix at Brands Hatch as Switzerland clinched the title.

Team Great Britiain's Robbie Kerr won the sprint from pole position after winning the qualifying. He finished 1.126seconds ahead of Jonathan Summerton from the United States and Carroll in third.

Neel Jani sealed the championship for the Swiss by claiming fourth, comfortably exceeding the seventh-place finish required to take the crown.

New Zealand needed to come second to have any chance of overhauling Switzerland but they could manage no better than eighth.
