BTCC - Silverstone: Plato is back in front, Jordan's car is smoking. The gloves are off here!
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan takes the lead at Becketts, and just clings on through Brooklands. Now they touch slightly at Luffield! And Woodcote!
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: With only Stockinger yet to come in, this is how the leading order looks for those who have stopped: Magnussen; Muller; da Costa; Melker; Sorensen is the top five.
BTCC - Silverstone: Plato has a lot less to lose than Jordan in championship terms, remember!
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan is now just 0.3s behind Plato. It's game on for victory here.
Superstars - Imola: 10 minutes until the second race kicks off at Imola and it is still pouring with rain.
With the top eight from race one reversed, the grid looks like this:
1 Sini; 2 Mugelli; 3 Bacci; 4 Berton; 5 Di Benedetto; 6 Morbidelli; 7 Liuzzi; 8 Cipriani; 9 Zurcher; 10 Battaglin.
Thomas Biagi will start way down in 12th in what is a crucial race if he is to take the fight to Vallelunga next month.

BTCC - Silverstone: Great battle for sixth between Neal, Jackson, Newsham and Shedden.
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan, on standard ballast and the soft tyre, is now under a second behind Plato, who is on 45kg and the standard tyre. Smith is up to third, past Tordoff at Becketts.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: It wasn't a particularly clean stop (or getaway) from Magnussen, but the reward for his efforts in the first stint is that he had a big enough cushion to allow for such minor dramas, and he rejoins comfortably ahead of Muller and da Costa.
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan is catching Plato by a couple of tenths per lap. How long will his soft tyres hang on for? The gap is now 1.2s at the start of lap 15.
BTCC - Silverstone: Smith, on soft tyres, has passed Turkington for fourth on the exit of Copse.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Mikhail Aleshin has hauled himself up the order following his stop just now. The pace of those yet to come in suggests that going long before stopping is the right call.
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan passes Tordoff for second at Becketts. Who says you can't overtake an MG with a Honda?
BTCC - Silverstone: Tordoff passes Turkington for second at Luffield, and Jordan passes the BMW too.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Trouble in the pits for Sorensen. He comes in second, but has rejoined behind Muller and da Costa so is effectively fourth.
BTCC - Silverstone: Jordan has passed Neal at Becketts for fourth. That's a big move in championship terms, but he's on the soft tyre and got less balance. A key move.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Pitstops are underway here, and the early news is that Muller has jumped da Costa for what should become third. Magnussen, Sorensen and Melker lead of those yet to stop.
We also have several cars under investigation, which is likely to be for their sector times under yellow flags from when Yann Cunha's car was stuck at the side of the track just before the Mistral straight.

Green flag
BTCC - Silverstone: Plato leads the restart from Turkington, Tordoff, Neal, Jordan, Morgan, Mat Jackson, Aron Smith and Shedden.
Casualties of the shunt that caused it were Wrathall, Onslow-Cole and Austin. Collard has rejoined, but now pulled off with an electrical issue - such a shame as he was in the mix for a podium.
Jeff Smith didn't make the start due to illness.

Lights out
BTCC - Silverstone: Plato, running 45kg of success ballast, leads despite a strong challenge from the BMW of Turkington. Tordoff almost grabbed second from Turkington, but got a biff from Collard at Brooklands.
But drama: the safety car is out to clear up a midfield clash, and Collard has pitted from fourth.

FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Magnussen disappears off into the distance as Marco Sorensen is slow away from second on the grid. Sorensen keeps Nico Muller at bay through Turns 1/2, which allows Antonio Felix da Costa to pass the Draco car on the outside of Turn 3.
Sorensen is now furiously defending from da Costa, as Magnussen scampers off to a lead of three seconds.
Crucially in the championship, Stoffel Vandoorne had a poor first lap and dropped from seventh to ninth.

BTCC - Silverstone: Cars are on their warm-up lap for round 26 at Silverstone. The smart money is on Plato taking two from two, but he's got more ballast for this one.
His rivals still think the MGs will be too strong on the straights to overtake. Time to find out! Jeff Smith appears to be a non-starter.

DTM - Zandvoort: Championship order after 9/10 races: 1 Rockenfeller, 142; 2 Farfus, 116; 3 Vietoris, 71; 4 Wickens, 70; 5 Spengler, 67; 6 Paffett, 67; 7 Ekstrom, 56; 8 Wittmann, 49; 9 Scheider, 37; 10 Green, 35.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Amazingly, given how long the earlier thunderstorm lasted (and how much rain it brought with it), we have a dry track for the start of the FR3.5 race.
All of the talk in the paddock is still about Kevin Magnussen's exclusion from race one, but qualifying this morning suggested that even with a 'standard' DRS flap he has the edge on everyone this weekend. He and DAMS will be keen to silence the talk with another dominant performance here today.
Unfortunately for Magnussen, given the points he lost yesterday, he cannot win the championship today.

Superstars - Imola: Luigi Ferrara won't start race two here at Imola. His Merc C63 was struggling with an overheating problem at the end of the first race, to the point where there was a small fire in the cockpit!

Quote
