DTM - Nurburgring: The DTM format's expansion plans are well-established, and this morning Japan's Super GT series unveiled its new generation cars, which form part of a common rules package designed to let manufacturers compete in the DTM, Super GT and a planned new American series.
You can take a closer look at the new Super GT machines in the AUTOSPORT news gallery.
European F3 - Nurburgring: Marciello takes his eighth win of the year and increases his series lead over Rosenqvist from 24.5 points to 34.5.
Just what he needed after a couple of off-song rounds.
And Sims' second place is the best in this championship for T-Sport.

Yellow flag
European F3 - Nurburgring: Muller runs wide at Turn 7, his efforts to pass Serralles having finally turned into a bit of wild frustration as he takes a big chunk of gravel and grass.
Kvyat passes him for ninth and Tincknell attempts to follow him through, only for Muller to block him and allow Mitch Gilbert to join the fight.
