That is it for Race Centre Live today, thanks for joining us.
There's plenty of motorsport action left today to read about on AUTOSPORT.com, though. There's the conclusion of the European Le Mans Series race, the second World Touring Car Championship encounter from Vila Real and the second of the Formula Renault 3.5 races at Spielberg.
Then there's the aforementioned racing from North America, including the United SportsCar Championship race, qualifying and race from IndyCar's Milwaukee event and Indy Lights too.

Breaking news
DTM - Zandvoort: Here is MITCHELL ADAM's report of Antonio Felix da Costa's maiden DTM victory as BMW dominated the top positions again at Zandvoort:

ELMS - Red Bull Ring: With the second round of stops in the books, Thiriet is closing on leader Dolan rapidly. Now the gap is well under 10 seconds.
DTM - Zandvoort: Wehrlein held on for sixth in the 'non-BMW' class, ahead of Ekstrom, Vietoris, Tambay and Paffett, while Rockenfeller had to settle for 11th.
Green was 13th and while he leaves with the championship lead, it's down to five points over Ekstrom and Wehrlein.

Trophy
DTM - Zandvoort: da Costa wins. His first DTM victory completes BMW's Zandvoort double. It's a 1-2-3-4-5, as well.
Sweet weekend for the Bavarians.

DTM - Zandvoort: Last lap for da Costa. And we have some light rain falling. More of a sprinkle.
IndyCar - Milwaukee: If you're thinking the AUTOSPORT news pages are a little short on IndyCar session reports, that's because the series is trying a condensed schedule this weekend.
Qualifying and the race both happen today, with just a sole practice session on Saturday, in which Josef Newgarden was quickest.
So for UK readers, look out for our qualifying report around 8pm tonight - when you'd often be expecting the race report - and the race report about 1am.
There's Indy Lights too, and further North American action from United SportsCar at Mosport, which finishes just before 8pm UK time.
Completing the US set, NASCAR's done and dusted - that was at Kentucky last night.
Next weekend the main action is all stateside: with F1's German GP cancelled and taking GP2 and GP3 with it, European motorsport pretty much takes a weekend off (bar the European Rally Championship in Estonia).
But the US cracks on: IndyCar has a night race at Iowa Speedway, NASAR returns to the short ovals (but not quite as short as Iowa) and heads to New Hampshire.
AUTOSPORT Live also takes a break next weekend, then returns in F1 mode for the Hungarian Grand Prix a week later, with Race Centre Live saving itself for the ever-incredible Rally Finland in three weeks' time.

DTM - Zandvoort: No change at the front as the race ticks down. It's still da Costa by four-tenths with three minutes to go.
A little further back, there's plenty of quality in a pack looking to finish sixth, as the best non-BMW - Wehrlein, Eksotrom, Vietoris, Tambay, Paffett and Rockenfeller.

DTM - Zandvoort: Farfus has the stronger car with 13 minutes left, he's all over da Costa, but can't find a way past the leader. Spengler and Glock are keeping an eye on things in third and fourth, right behind them.
Yesterday, da Costa played the company man and didn't do anything risky in his fight for the lead with Wittmann, wonder what's going through his head right now.

DTM - Zandvoort: di Resta has made reasonable progress from 23rd on the grid, he's looking to relieve Green of 13th place.
ELMS - Red Bull Ring: Dolan puts the Jota Gibson back into the lead, after out-fumbling Jun in the Eurasia ORECA through the final two corners. Moments later, the Jota's team's shot at victory gets a further boost with news of a penalty for the Greaves Motorsport Gibson, currently in third driven by Hirsch.
DTM - Zandvoort: After serving his drive-through, Blomqvist has - ironically - rejoined behind Wickens again.
DTM - Zandvoort: That means, at the front of the field with 20 minutes to go, we have da Costa leading Farfus by 0.4s, with Spengler and Glock right there as well.
Wittmann is fifth, three seconds back, four seconds clear of Wehrlein (the best non-BMW), Vietoris, Ekstrom, Tambay and Paffett. Rockenfeller is 13th after running slightly longer, one spot ahead of Green.

DTM - Zandvoort: Blomqvist has received a drive-through penalty, while Gotz has now pitted.
DTM - Zandvoort: Wickens has gone around at Turn 1, got a hand from Blomqvist. He rejoins and continues. Still just Gotz to pit at the front of the field with 20 minutes left.
DTM - Zandvoort: Another Mercedes-Audi battle, Wehrlein forced Molina wide on the exit of Turn 1 with a bit of a bump, and Vietoris followed him through. Molina has also now been passed by Ekstrom and is 11th.
DTM - Zandvoort: Juncadella has pitted to retire from the race. He was running 10th.
He copped a touch from Mortara and was forced wide, getting - to quote Napoleon Dynamite - like three feet of air over one of the escape road/grass verges.
Was lucky not to hit a fence, and while he was able to restart after stopping the car, has trundled back to pitlane.
Mortara has also pitted.

Mortara has also pitted.
DTM - Zandvoort: Rockenfeller, who passed Gotz on the road for the lead, has made his stop, with 28 minutes remaining. Green and di Resta are now past Wickens as well.
DTM - Zandvoort: Paffett is now past Wickens as well, he was running inside the top 10 - ninth to be precise -before a slow pitstop.
DTM - Zandvoort: With half an hour remaining, Rockenfeller leads Gotz, Muller and Scheider. They're all yet to stop.
da Costa is the effective leader, with Farfus, Spenger and Glock keeping him company. Then it's Wittmann, Molina, Wehrlein, Vietoris, Tambay, Juncadella and Mortara.
Further back again, Paffett has just passed Green for what's currently 18th place. di Resta and Blomqvist are the next cars behind them. Tough afternoon for the Brits.

Checkered flag
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Pedrosa completes a Honda one-two, Rossi completes the podium and his points lead over fourth-place finisher Lorenzo is now 13.
Iannone rounds out the top five.
Last bit of tension further back is who wins the Suzuki war - Espargaro pips Vinales to 10th by 0.021s.

DTM - Zandvoort: Farfus is back to within half a second of da Costa.
In the following pack, Wittmann was bottled up behind Auer, and gave the Mercedes driver a helping hand off the road. That led to several action-packed corners among the group contesting what's currently ninth.
Tomczyk was the big loser, through losing a couple of places initially, and then slowed dramatically coming down the front straight. Evasive action required by the likes of Green and Paffett behind him.
Tomczyk has now parked his sticken BMW.

MotoGP - Sachsenring: Marquez wins the German Grand Prix - only his second win of the 2015 MotoGP season and his first since April.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Into the closing lap, Marquez is firmly in control, Pedrosa seems to have broken Rossi's charge and Lorenzo and Iannone look assured of fourth and fifth.
It's a similarly lonely tale for Smith and Crutchlow in sixth and seventh, and the big battle for eighth is stretching out too - Pol Espargaro now just has Petrucci to deal with, then it's the two Suzukis fighting over 10th.
Fifth-place starter Hernandez has tumbled to 12th, Barbera, Bautista and Miller are set to complete the scorers.
Not a great race for Aspar with Hayden and Laverty 16th and 17th, the latter under pressure from Alex de Angelis. Baz and Michael Laverty bring up the rear.

MotoGP - Sachsenring: Pedrosa has opened out a 0.7s gap over Rossi for second, which is by far the biggest its been.
DTM - Zandvoort: Farfus and Spengler are past Auer, but da Costa now has a 1.8-second advantage over them. Pitstops continue, with Gotz, Rockenfeller, Muller, Scheider and Martin the only drivers yet to stop.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: All the action is centred around eighth place now, where Pol Espargaro is trying to fend off Petrucci, Vinales, Hernandez and Aleix Espargaro.
Behind them, Bautista and Barbera have demoted Miller to 15th.
Michael Laverty is the last man on the lead lap, but sitting 7s off Baz is a solid effort.

DTM - Zandvoort: And the next lap again, da Costa and Farfus pitted. da Costa still leads and has Auer - yet to stop - behind him on the road. Pretty handy, given Auer's lack of pace.
Farfus, meanwhile, has jumped Spengler.

DTM - Zandvoort: The very next lap, Spengler, Wittmann, Molina, Juncadella, Tomczyk and Wehrlein pit from the front pack.
It was right on pit exit, with Molina initially ahead but Wittmann then forcing his way past.
Glock jumped up to be running behind Spengler by pitting that lap earlier.

ELMS - Red Bull Ring: We've had the first round of pitstops now, which has shaken things up. The Eurasia ORECA O3R leads having stopped relatively early under the safety car, but the 'virtual' race lead is in the hands of Dolan, who took over the Jota Gibson from Albuquerque. Hirsch is third in the Greaves Gibson, but as he started will lose time relative to Dolan at the next round of stops.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Lorenzo is drifting away again in fourth and looks set to finish there.
That would leave him 13 points behind Rossi heading into the summer break if things stay the same in the Rossi/Pedrosa fight.
Six laps left.

MotoGP - Sachsenring: Marquez's lead has stabilised at 4.4s over Pedrosa, who has Rossi as a shadow but not a particularly intimidating one at this second.
DTM - Zandvoort: Glock from seventh and Green from 16th are the first to pit. They'll be looking for clean air, especially Green, who was stuck behind Gotz.
DTM - Zandvoort: da Costa still leads the way, half a second ahead of Spengler with 17 minutes complete. The top 11 cars are in a giant train.
DTM - Zandvoort: TV just showed an official having a sleep trackside. Not sure why, about both the siesta and what it says about the DTM as an entertainment product... Answers on a postcard.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Rossi hasn't given up on getting second place back from Pedrosa yet. He's got 11 laps to make something happen.
MotoGP - Sachsenring: Further back, Iannone is pretty sorted in fifth, then Smith has some pressure from Crutchlow for sixth.
Hernandez has drifted back to eighth, where he's holding his own ahead of a tussle between the Espargaros, Petrucci and Vinales.
Miller is resisting Bautista in 13th, and Barbera is currently on course for the last point.
Laverty is top returnee in a lonely 20th, Corti is 21st and last, Aoyama quietly retired a while ago.

Rossi takes a bit of a look back at the Spaniard but to no avail.
