Dillmann, Orudhzev, Panis and Vaxiviere have stayed out.

A stream of cars take to the pits, points leader Rowland amongst them.
DTM
Ekstrom and Mortara have both picked up a place each, they're now 10th and 15th.
MotoGP
Lorenzo couldn't quite beat Marc Marquez to pole yesterday - despite the Honda man crashing on his final qualifying lap. But Lorenzo is confident in his race pace and often refers to how the Honda is just "more explosive' - by which he means it has one-lap pace that Yamaha can't access.
One-lap pace has been a problem for Rossi for a while, and he starts back in sixth today. He can afford to lose a few points to Lorenzo, but he's not been happy with his bike this weekend. Damage limitation mission ahead?

Molina leads by 1.2 seconds at the end of the first lap following the restart.
FR3.5
Ellinas leads behind the safety car. As it stands Rowland will be champion with Vaxiviere down in seventh.

A quarter of an hour to go before the Aragon MotoGP start. The good news for Jorge Lorenzo - it's dry and sunny. He's been the pacesetter at race after race of late, only for his Sundays to fall apart in the rain.
That's left him 23 points adrift of the relentless Valentino Rossi with five races left including this one.

Looks like a change of engine for Jason Plato - he was unsure if it would be wise yesterday but after that difficult race-one effort, which was ended early by a puncture by the way, the Team BMR hand has been forced.

FR3.5
The incident between Kanamaru and Negrao at Turn 3 will be investigated after the race.
DTM
At Turn 4, Wittmann, who started 10th, turned Paffett around. Wickens is out of his car in pitlane, Scheier is hanging out with marshals down at Turn 1 and Witmann has also been through pitlane and is currently 22nd.

Replays show Kanamaru tipping Negrao into a roll. The Brazilian jumps out of the car unaided.

Safety car. There's been contact between Negrao and Kanamaru.

Here's the full recap of the Silverstone BTCC opener, with Mat Jackson dominant and a blow for Jason Plato's title hopes: 
DTM
We're away, mostly. Green stalls and drops to the rear of the field. Wickens and Scheider get together at Turn 1 - the latter is beached. Paffett has also been off at what looks like Turn 4.
Safety car.
Safety car.
FR3.5
Rowland is up to 11th already. All he needs is a single point to secure the title. His only rival left is Vaxiviere, but the Frenchman needs to win. He's down in seventh after that horrible start.
FR3.5
Nick de Vries is doing a good job off holding off Vaxiviere in seventh on this opening lap.
DTM
Molina - looking to become the 12th different winner this year - leads the field away for the formation lap.
FR3.5
Ellinas gets away well from pole. Vaxiviere drops down to seventh. Solid start for Rowland who make sup to positions into Turn 1.
FR3.5
Green flag and Ellinas leads the F3.5 field off on the formation lap.
MotoGP
There was an absolutely sensational Moto3 race - as ever - at Aragon earlier today, but the title race remains pretty static afterwards as protagonists Danny Kent and Enea Bastianini both crashed out on the last lap.
Kent's fall came while going for second moments after Bastianini had tangled with Brad Binder.
Miguel Oliveira beat Jorge Navarro (how Navarro is racing after the violence of his accidents in recent weeks is beyond us) by a tenth to win the race, with Romano Fenati third, which keeps Oliviera and Fenati's title hopes bubbling too.
But Kent is still 55 points clear of Bastianini up front, and his future's now clear too - he's off to Moto2:

Matthieu Vaxiviere starts alongside Ellinas on the front row with Tom Dillmann third. Aurelien Panis, son of former F1 star Oliver, starts fourth after his best qualifying performance of the year.
DTM
Of those drivers, Green is starting third, Spengler fifth and Wittmann 10th. They all need to finish ahead of Wehrlein to be in the hunt - i.e. within 50 points - at Hockenheim. Wehrlein will line up ninth, Ekstrom 17th and Mortara 20th.
DTM
Here's a look at the points, with three races - and a maximum of 75 points up for grabs - remaining.
1. Wehrlein 155
2. Mortara 128
3. Ekstrom 127
4. Green 107
5. Wittmann 104

The final race of the FR3.5 weekend at the Le Mans Bugatti circuit is coming up in just five minutes time. Tio Ellias starts from pole, with championship hopeful Oliver Rowland down in 14th 
BTCC
Plato ends up finishing a lap down - it was a bizarre incident. He was attacking Tordoff into Luffield and just ran wide, off track and through the gravel.
BTCC
Mat Jackson wins! Jordan hangs on to second, with Shedden close behind.
DTM
No DTM round is complete without a visit from Mr DTM.
BTCC
Plato remonstrated behind Tordoff there - looked like even a tow from the BMW wasn't enough to get the Volkswagen quick in a straight line...
Plato's off! What's happened?

Shedden's piling the pressure on Jordan for second now - and he needs to, Newsham is right behind and Turkington and Smith have joined the train. Two laps left, Jackson's got this one (even with softs on).
DTM
Gary Paffett's Mercedes is on the grid after suffering an engine failure this morning. He'll start 23rd with Martin Tomczyk last following penalties related to his troubled Saturday. There was a vibration in the drivetrain of his BMW that couldn't be found, so the car was basically stripped back and he missed the race.
