Crash
Moto3 - Aragon: Nasty crash at the final corner as Efren Vazquez and Zulfahmi Khairuddin collide and the Malaysian is sent into a nasty high-side.
He lands in the pitlane entry but walks away.

European F3 - Zandvoort: Lights off on safety car. We'll have one or two laps more.
FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: Magnussen is responding to everything his rivals can throw at him at the moment, reeling off pole lap after pole lap as the others improve around him. Sorensen and Muller lead the chase at the moment - Vandoorne is only sixth as we enter the final minute.
European F3 - Zandvoort: The lanky Italian seems OK, although he's having a neck brace put on. Biggest injury will be to his points lead - if Rosenqvist wins it's down to 9.5...
European F3 - Zandvoort: The safety car is out for Marciello's crash. It looks like he just understeered off at the second of the two fast right-handers around the back. This corner has caught out so many.

FR3.5 - Paul Ricard: The second runs are well underway now. Melker has a brief spell at the top before Magnussen responds and takes P1 back with four minutes left.

European F3 - Zandvoort: Marciello has crashed out of fifth!
DTM - Zandvoort: Some interesting noises coming out of Mercedes yesterday.
A number of its drivers - including Gary Paffett - believe that today's race will be the least conducive of the year to long stints on option rubber, due to the abrasive nature of the Zandvoort track surface.
That could be good news for Paffett, who has consistently been the fastest driver in the DTM this year on standard-tyre runs.

DTM - Zandvoort: Outside Mercedes hospitality are a couple of very swanky motors, including an ultra-cool AMG A-class.
Bit confused about the energy-rating chart on the dashboard. Looks more like something you'd see on a Fridge/Freezer when perusing the aisles in Currys.
European F3 - Zandvoort: Just a quick fauna update from the Dutch dunes before the serious action kicks off. A deer and a fox both featured extensively on the post-race TV footage after yesterday's second F3 race, while a kitten belonging to one of the European F3 hospitality crew has been heard mewing loudly this morning.
The nervous moggy went and hid under the balcony at the front of the hospy awning, leading to consternation from Felix Rosenqvist's PR man and Mitchell Gilbert's mum - until they discovered it was somebody's pet rather than an abandoned stray.

Britain's Sean Edwards was 18th after starting last due to damage sustained in the aforementioned shunt.
