BTCC - Rockingham: There's no stopping Austin who is backing up his recent Knockhill pace and making his way up the order - he's just claimed fifth from Newsham out of Chapman Curve.
Moto2 - Misano: It's all been very spaced out since Nakagami hit the front early on, but this is coming together nicely heading into the final five laps.
Espargaro has closed to within 1.5s now, but is in turn coming under pressure from Rabat, who is closing on the Spaniard faster than Espargaro is on Nakagami.
Redding meanwhile is seventh, but within touching distance of Luthi in fourth.

Redding meanwhile is seventh, but within touching distance of Luthi in fourth.
BTCC - Rockingham: The closest battle on track at the moment is between Newsham and Turkington. The 2009 chapman is harassing Newsham and, just as we say that, he lunges on the inside at Tarzan to take seventh.
Moto2 - Misano: Here we go. Three laps to run and Espargaro is right on Nakagami's tail. Both men will be desperate for this win, but its advantage Espargaro as he comes through on the main straight.
BTCC - Rockingham: Two laps left and Jordan is very much in control of the race and setting consecutive fastest lap times. He has a 4.3s advantage over Matt Jackson, who is ahead of Shedden.
Moto2 - Misano: Hard to see Nakagami coming back here - Espargaro leads by half a second across the line. Once again it appears he went too early.
Redding is looking at surrendering 18 points here. He's down in seventh heading onto the final lap.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Magnussen makes a fine getaway from pole to lead comfortably into Turn 1. Vandoorne jumps da Costa for third, while Sorensen is slow away and drops from 4th to 10th.
BTCC - Rockingham: And finally Austin gets pass Plato for fourth before the start of the penultimate lap.

Pol Espargaro Moto2 2013
Moto2 - Misano: Brilliant finish. Espargaro wins it, with Nakagami second for the fourth straight race.
All eyes then turn to where Redding can finish. Rabat, Luthi and Aegerter come through, but at the death the Briton picks off Zarco to gain an extra point.
Still, Espargaro takes a sizeable 15-point bite out of Redding's 38-point lead.
BTCC - Rockingham: Austin is 2.3s behind the MG of Shedden, who is lapping a second slower. A possible change for the final podium spot coming up?
Moto2 - Misano:
1 Espargaro; 2 Nakagami; 3 Rabat; 4 Luthi; 5 Aegerter; 6 Redding; 7 Zarco; 8 Simeon; 9 Kallio; 10 Terol.

Crash
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Safety car is out after Will Stevens has a big crash at T11. The Brit ran slightly wide onto the exit kerb, which spun his car across the track and into the inside barrier.
Magnussen leads Vandoorne, da Costa, Pic, Muller and Negrao with three laps completed.

BTCC - Rockingham: An imperious drive by Jordan who takes the chequered flag 3.3s ahead of Matt Jackson, but what a performance by Austin who pipped Shedden at the finish to take third!
Moto2 - Misano: Touching moment as Nakagami pays tribute to compatriot Shoya Tomizawa, who lost his life at Misano in 2010, on the warm-down lap.

Green flag
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Clean restart from Magnussen, while third-placed da Costa has to work hard to keep Pic behind in the first few corners of the lap.
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Magnussen, Vandoorne and da Costa are easing away from the chasing pack. All three are covered by 2.5s, and while the pit window is open only drivers further down the field have decided to come in so far.
DTM - Oschersleben: The race gets underway in 15 minutes with a light sprinkle of rain having fallen for a couple of minutes a time over the past few hours.
The track is still dry and slicks will still be the obvious tyres to start on.

DTM - Oschersleben: Jamie Green starts from pole for the first time in an Audi after Bruno Spengler's five-place grid penalty was applied.
It's Green's first pole since Zandvoort 2006!

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Vandoorne is the first of the leaders to blink, pitting at the start of lap 12. Magnussen responds a lap later, while da Costa - the quickest of the three at the moment, stays out.
DTM - Oschersleben: Mike Rockenfeller, who starts third, can be crowned champion today if he finishes third with Christian Vietoris and Robert Wickens not scoring and neither Bruno Spengler nor Augusto Farfus finishing higher than eighth.
Such a scenario is highly unlikely, meaning the title fight will probably roll on to Zandvoort.

Kevin Magnussen, Stoffel Vandoorne
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Magnussen just gets out of the pits ahead of Vandoorne, who is tucked up underneath his rear wing through the first few corners of the lap as the championship leader gets up to speed.
Da Costa comes in at the end of the lap, and just makes it to the Turn 1 apex ahead of Magnussen. The pair go side-by-side into Turn 2, but da Costa holds the inside line and now effectively holds the race lead (as we wait for others to pit).
DTM - Oschersleben: Polesitter Green starts on option tyres, as does fellow front-row man Farfus.
Rockenfeller and Werner, on the second row, begin on standards while Spengler - sixth - is on options (chosen when he thought he was on pole, of course).
The warm-up lap is underway.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Now the pitstops have shuffled out da Costa is in control at the front of the field, with a lead of nearly 3 seconds back to Magnussen and Vandoorne.
Melker's early stop has got him up to fourth, just ahead of race one winner Muller.

DTM - Oschersleben: Farfus out-drags Green and leads into the first corner.
Spengler made the best getaway of all to go from P6 to P4 by the first corner and then take Rockenfeller for third through Turn 2.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: It's been a long time since we last said this: da Costa is romping away at the front.
His lead up to 4.1s by lap 20. Magnussen has title chaser Vandoorne for company, but so far he appears to have his McLaren stablemate under control.
There's a fierce fight for fourth, as Muller tries everything to get past the early-stopping Melker.

DTM - Oschersleben: Awful luck for Martin Tomczyk. He's in the pits for a drive-through penalty, having jumped the start.
TV replays show that he moved before the lights, stopped the car immediately and then got away with a significant delay to the rest of the field.
Meanwhile Edoardo Mortara almost stalled on the line, dropping to the tail of the pack.

DTM - Oschersleben: A rush of stops as the pit window opens on lap four. Seven drivers, all of whom started on the harder 'standard' tyres, come in, six of them switching to options.
The exception - according to the graphic in the press room TV screens - is Glock, who puts more standards on.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Five minutes +1 lap to go here, and da Costa continues to edge away at the front to lead by 4.9s. Magnussen how has his gap over Vandoorne above one second, and Muller is still giving Melker a very hard time.
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Vandoorne is coming back at Magnussen, getting the gap down to 0.8s. If he wants to keep his title hopes alive he needs to get past the Dane.
DTM - Oschersleben: Among the pitters were points leader Rockenfeller - from fourth - and Werner, Scheider and Paffett, none of them switching positions relative to each other.
Correction on the Glock info - he spent over a lap in the pits, hence why the graphic did not update. He is now last and on options.

Valentino Rossi MotoGP 2013
MotoGP - Misano: From Moto2 we move onto MotoGP. If you missed it earlier, Marc Marquez fell in this morning's warm-up - his second fall this weekend, and his second crash on (although dislocating his shoulder at Silverstone didn't seem to hinder him much).
Can Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi or Dani Pedrosa match him? On pace alone it looks unlikely.
DTM - Oschersleben: The race has assumed a common pattern in 2013 terms. Out front are the drivers from the front of the grid who started on option tyres, while those that started on standards have generally been in and changed to the softer Hankooks.
The exceptions are Wehrlein, Hand and Mortara, lying 10th, 11th and 12th and lapping significantly slower than anybody else on the track.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Finally, Antonio Felix da Costa gets his second win of the 2013 season - his first since April's Monza season opener. In the end it was comfortable, as he came home 6.5 seconds clear of Kevin Magnussen.
Magnussen holds off Vandoorne to extend his points lead, while Melker does well to keep Muller at bay.
Result: 1 da Costa; 2 Magnussen; 3 Vandoorne; 4 Melker; 5 Muller; 6 Negrao; 7 Stockinger; 8 Huertas; 9 Sorensen; 10 Webb.

DTM - Oschersleben: Spengler is in from third. This is a surprise. He started on option tyres, so we would have expected him to run to about lap 25-30 before pitting.
He fits standards and exits right behind Rockenfeller. That's a net gain for the Audi man.

DTM - Oschersleben: Rockenfeller, now sixth, is quietly driving a stormer here. In the past four laps he's taken two seconds out of Farfus's lead. He trails him by 34 seconds, with it taking about 32.5 for an average tyre change here.
MotoGP - Misano: Riders start their warm up lap, and we're moments away from the start in Italy. Can anyone stop Marquez?
