September sees the Formula One season hit full throttle as the 10 Formula One teams take on three Grands Prix in four weeks, making stops in Belgium, Italy and Japan.
The month also marks the climax of the hard court season as the members of the ATP and WTA Tours head to Flushing Meadows to contest the US Open tennis tournament. Later in the month the top teams in women’s tennis compete in the finals of the Fed Cup.
Finally, flat racing hosts the last of the Classics before heading into hibernation, as the finest performers in thoroughbred racing head to Doncaster Racecourse for the 1 mile 6 furlong St. Leger Stakes.
