European F3 - Vallelunga: Now it's Lynn-Marciello-Kvyat-Cheever
European F3 - Vallelunga: First flying lap of restart, and it's Kvyat-Derani-Cheever-Marciello.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Session is green again, but we're missing Rosenqvist.
European F3 - Vallelunga: It's title contender Felix Rosenqvist, currently 13th in the times, who's gone off...
Pipo Derani
European F3 - Vallelunga: Another red flag! Eight minutes left on the clock. You're not going to believe this, but the top three is Pipo Derani, John Bryant-Meisner, Roy Nissany. Raffaele Marciello is one of those without a time on the board.
European F3 - Vallelunga: And Gelael is already back in the fray with his rivals.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Our 16-year-old Indonesian schoolboy has just made it back to the pits, seemingly unscathed, so session is green again.
European F3 - Vallelunga: Only a handful of runners had gone out, with Alexander Sims leading the times from Gelael and Roy Nissany.

Stage: 1 Bouffier; 2 Basso +4.8s; 3 Breen +7.2s; 4 Perico +9.2s; 5 Albertini +13.1s; 6 Lappi +13.6s.

ERC - Sanremo: Andreucci makes it to the end having lost 9m42.9s.
"I have a puncture before the start," he says. "We saw the tyre was going down and we changed it."
It seems that he forgot the tyre would be cold and spun early in the stage, resulting in left rear damage which has knocked him firmly out of contention for the win.

ERC - Sanremo: More news on Andreucci: sounds like he clipped something which has broken or severely bent a suspension arm.
ERC - Sanremo: Perico is next through, but where's Andreucci? Changing a wheel, apparently!
Checkered flag
Gianni Morbidelli
Superstars - Vallelunga: Free practice two is over, and it's Gianni Morbidelli who's fastest. With the circuit drying out towards the end, the Audi driver wound up more than six seconds faster than he was in this morning's first session.
1 Morbidelli; 2 Liuzzi; 3 Larini; 4 Biagi; 5 Sini; 6 Schiattarella; 7 Berton; 8 Mugelli; 9 Trentin; 10; Cipriani.
Crash
ERC - Sanremo: Reports coming in that rally leader Andreucci has suffered a puncture mid-stage!
European F3 - Vallelunga: We're not far off qualifying, with the first and second sessions running back to back. We've had some more rain and a wet track is declared, but seeing as Gianni Morbidelli's free-practice topping Superstars time a minute or so ago was just three seconds off last year's pole time, we're expecting the F3 boys (and girl) to go for it on slicks.
ERC - Sanremo: Basso sets a time 4.8s slower than Bouffier, which means the battle for second place is now 17.4s - down from 32.7s at the start of the day.
Stopwatch
ERC - Sanremo: Bouffier is quicker still with a 12m29.7s. A hat-trick of stage wins for the Frenchman this morning? We should think so.
Stopwatch
ERC - Sanremo: Breen arrives at the finish with a time of 12m36.1s. His delay? Having to top the engine up with oil.
"I had an alarm for the oil pressure," he says. "I just took some time and put some oil in it - I am not happy with the car."

Stopwatch
ERC - Sanremo: And here comes Lappi! The Finn goes quickest with a 12m43.3s, but where's Breen?
ERC - Sanremo: Quite a large gap here as we wait for Breen. There should only be a two-minute window between drivers.
ERC - Sanremo: Drivers are now beginning to reach the end of the third and final stage of the morning. Aigner and Gryazin are the first to post times, which are 13m34.8s and 13m05.1s respectively.
We now wait for Breen to arrive...

Superstars - Vallelunga: The second free practice session is running here at Vallelunga. Giovanni Berton is currently setting the pace for BMW, despite the circuit still being damp.
Bouffier
ERC - Sanremo: There's some confusion over the stage numbering this morning, following the split of the lengthy Ronde test last night.
We'll continue to refer to them as per the itinerary and live timing facility. So we've had SS5 and 6 already today, with SS7 up next at 12:22 local time (11:22 BST).

ERC - Sanremo - SS6 results:
Stage: 1 Bouffier; 2 Basso +10.5s; 3 Andreucci +10.6s; 4 Breen +13.0s; 5 Lappi +24.2s; 6 Perico +29.0s;

ERC - Sanremo: Another third-quickest time for Andreucci, who still maintains his position at the top of the overall classification ahead of Basso and Bouffier.
ERC - Sanremo: Not a great stage for Basso either, who drops 10.5s to Bouffier and the gap between them in the battle for second overall is now down to 22.2s.
ERC - Sanremo: Scandola's back in action following his puncture in the first stage of the morning, but things aren't getting any better for the veteran.
"Now we have a problem with the water, it was 110 degrees," says Scandola. "The temperature of the engine is too hot!"
His time is 57.5s off of Bouffier's.

1. Newsham
2. O Jackson
3. Tordoff
4. A Smith
5. Onslow-Cole
6. Hill

Lappi
ERC - Sanremo: Rising Finnish star Lappi is next at the stop line and his time is 16m14.6s.
"I am relaxed," says the works Skoda driver. "We just have to finish; we are just dancing on these roads... left, right..."
Stopwatch
ERC - Sanremo: And here comes the Irishman, whose Peugeot sounds like a bag of rusty old nails. He posts a time of 16m03.4s.
"I do not have a good feeling with the front of the car," he says. "It does not feel right, it does not feel precise."

BTCC - Brands Hatch: Aron Smith's Motorbase Ford Focus goes back to the top of the times with 1m40.902s.
ERC - Sanremo: Aigner is once again the first on the road and completes the second stage - Pass Teglia - in 17m34.7s. Not bad for the Production Cup driver.
Gryazin is second across the finishing line and is 1m03.3s quicker. Breen should, bar any further incidents, be next to come home.

BTCC - Brands Hatch: And with the track drying and cars on slicks, the times are tumbling. Neal currently fastest on 1m41.545s.
Green flag
BTCC - Brands Hatch: We're back under way in FP1 with just over seven minutes to go.
BTCC - Brands Hatch: The red flag has been thrown to allow Frank Wrathall's Toyota Avensis to be retrieved. He has had a nightmare season, despite often showing good pace.
BTCC - Brands Hatch: Because it is a free practice session, the clock is still ticking down. We've now got 11 minutes to go. Will the cars get to run again in this session?
Red flag
BTCC - Brands Hatch: Red flag. Not sure why yet.
