Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Driver saved from burning wreck by rival racer in China GT race #shorts

Loek Hartog pulls over beside a burning race car, unbuckles and runs towards the wreck. Guardian Sport's September footage of his rescue of Ollie Millroy has now passed ten million views, and remains the channel's main source of viewing momentum.

The onboard camera captures the urgency without needing much explanation: smoke fills the scene as Hartog helps Millroy escape, with trackside personnel also responding. Millroy later told the Dutch driver he owed him his life.

There were no new uploads this week, but the archive offers more than the rescue itself. In "'I was optimistic I would get him out': Loek Hartog on rescuing Ollie Millroy from a burning car", the Guardian's Donald McRae visits Hartog in Amsterdam. The interview explores the friendship formed after the crash and the drivers' shared determination to improve GT racing safety. It is also attracting viewers, though on a much smaller scale than the Short.

Guardian Sport added about 1,000 subscribers over the week. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual level, despite the rescue clip's continuing reach. Among nearby broadcaster channels, The Canadian Press and Daily Record collected larger weekly view gains, while Daily Mail News had a quieter week than Guardian Sport.

Further down Guardian Sport's active archive is a very different driving assignment: Max Verstappen passing a field of amateur go-karters at Silverstone. The channel's motoring videos range from a champion enjoying himself to a driver abandoning his own race to help someone else.
