Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Auto Trader RAC Touring Car Championship continued to thrill right to the end of the season at Brands Hatch yesterday with a multi-car accident in the first race of the day and narrow victories for Alain Menu and Frank Biela in the twin races.

With the drivers' title already settled in Biela's favour and Audi having scooped the manufacturers' and teams' prizes, interest centred on the runners-up positions. Menu took the honour for the third year running, and BMW beat Volvo to finish second in the car-maker's contest.

The main drama came at the start of the penultimate round of the championship as a pile-up sidelined eight cars but none of the drivers were injured.
