Moto3 - Sepang: Oliveira had a chance to slingshot them both as he gave Mahindra a breakthrough podium in third.

Alex Marquez pushes Vinales back to fifth, that's a big blow to Vinales' title hopes. Miller completes the top six.
Moto3 - Sepang: Salom gets it and extends his championship lead as he beats Rins across the line by 0.069s after a side by side final corner.
Moto3 - Sepang: Title rivals Rins and Salom swap places three times through the first third of the lap.

Moto3 - Sepang: Vinales is suddenly right back in it as the top four slow themselves up. He slices through to second behind Salom... but two corners later he's down to fourth!

With six laps to go, Vinales needs to shake off Masbou and close a 1.2s gap to those in front to get back with his title rivals Salom and Rins.
V8 Supercars - Bathurst: Awesome racing between Tander and Lowndes as they swap places twice in as many corners. How they did it without touching was very impressive.
Moto3 - Sepang: Just past half-distance and Moto3's 'big four' have got themselves into the top four positions, with Rins leading Marquez, Salom and Vinales, but they can't shake off Miguel Oliveira, Jack Miller, Masbou and Jonas Folger, with Phillip Oettl, Brad Binder, Romano Fenati and Niklas Ajo just a few lengths behind.
V8 Supercars - Bathurst: What a move! Tander passes Lowndes for fourth.
Brad Keselowski

Bathurst


Good (early) morning and welcome back to AUTOSPORT Race Centre Live for Sunday October 13, where we start off with the final stages of the Bathurst 1000 and the MotoGP action from Sepang.
And that concludes AUTOSPORT Race Centre Live's rather enthralling Saturday.

We'll be back at approximately 06:00 BST tomorrow morning for the conclusion of the Bathurst 1000 before two-wheel racing action takes over in the form of MotoGP from Sepang.

We'll also be bringing you updates from Brands Hatch as the BTCC season reaches its thrilling climax and, if that wasn't enough, we'll also be keeping you up to date with everything that's happening at Vallelunga in the Superstars and European F3 series as well.

See you tomorrow, motorsport fans!
European F3 - Vallelunga: Results: 1 Marciello; 2 Sims; 3 Lynn; 4 Kvyat; 5 Cheever; 6 Derani; 7 Auer; 8 Muller; 9 Giovinazzi; 10 Rosenqvist. Marciello's points lead is now back out to 33.5.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Looked like Sims dropped back a little on the last lap, which is a shame as Marciello locked up at the tight left-handed hairpin and ran wide, so Sims could have pounced had he been a little closer.
European F3 - Vallelunga: So Marciello wins from Sims and Lynn.
BTCC - Brands Hatch: And that's it after a frantic final few minutes.

The order is: Plato, Tordoff, Jordan, Shedden, Morgan, Turkington, TO-C, Wrathall, Collard, Hill.

Neal's time before his off is good enough for 16th, but will he start tomorrow?
BTCC - Brands Hatch: Shedden moves up to fourth and Adam Morgan goes fifth with seconds to go.
BTCC - Brands Hatch: Jason Plato and Sam Tordoff have both improved, with Plato's 1m31.214s just 0.036s ahead of Tordoff's effort.

Andrew Jordan has now jumped to third with his Eurotech Honda Civic, just ahead of Colin Turkington's WSR BMW.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Rosenqvist is now 10th thanks to a brave lunge on Tincknell in Cimini right-hander.
ERC - Sanremo - SS10 results:

Stage: 1 Lappi 12m30.6s; 2 Basso +0.9s; 3 Breen +3.7s; 4 Perico +10.0s; 5 Andreucci +14.1s; 6 Albertini +14.8s.

Overall: 1 Basso 2h37m37.3s; 2 Lappi +1m43.0s; 3 Perico +1m47.1s; 4 +1m52.9s; 5 Albertini +2m10.4s; 6 Andreucci +10m01.0s.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Rosenqvist now past Blomqvist, so only Tincknell now separates him from a point.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Auer is putting pressure on Derani for sixth, as Muller is right there too.
ERC - Sanremo: Perico is 10.0s slower than Lappi, which means the Finn finishes second!
European F3 - Vallelunga: Lead gap back out to 1.2s, while Rosenqvist is now hassling Blomqvist for 11th.
ERC - Sanremo: And here's Basso, who sets the second fastest time of the stage and wins the Sanremo Rally!
European F3 - Vallelunga: Sims has chiselled the gap to Marciello to less than 0.8s.
