Yellow flag
DTM - Oschersleben: Drama straight away as Robert Wickens runs wide at Turn 5, sails through the gravel and somehow keeps his Mercedes out of the barrier.
That's all due to being on slick tyres on a damp track. It looks very tricky out there.

MotoGP - Misano: Marquez rams his advantage home with a second lap within four hundredths of a second of his best. Rossi meanwhile jumps into third, 0.621s down on the Honda man. Pedrosa the man to watch, as he's currently down in eighth.
Green flag
DTM - Oschersleben: Q1 is underway. The fastest 16 progress to Q2 with the remainder locked into their spots.
MotoGP - Misano: Lorenzo improves upon that next time round, but Marquez is on an absolute stonker...and sure enough he goes top with a 1m33.404s. Lorenzo four tenths of a second down, Crutchlow in third a full second off.
MotoGP - Misano: Lorenzo's opening gambit is a 1m33.824s, the fastest lap anyone has set this weekend. Traffic restricts much of the rest of the field, who come round in the 1m36s bracket or worse. Just from having a clear lap, Crutchlow pops up into second.
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: A change for the lead as Negrao locks up at Turn 1, leaving the path clear for team-mate Muller to move to the head of the field.
ERC - Poland - SS4 results:
Stage: 1 Bouffier; 2 Kangur +0.3s; 3 Kopecky +1.5s; 4 Kajetanowicz +2.0s; 5 Kosciuszko +4.6s.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: What an opening few laps from Kevin Magnussen. Having started 16th he is now sixth after just four racing laps, and he's already passed championship rival Stoffel Vandoorne, who started 11th.
Green flag
Jorge Lorenzo MotoGP 2013
MotoGP - Misano: Here we go then: the fight for pole at Oschersleben. Can anyone knock Marquez from top spot. Lorenzo, as is his wont, makes sure he is at the front of the field as they file out for the start of this 15-minute shootout.
Rain
DTM - Oschersleben: Five minutes to go before qualifying and it's raining, albeit lightly.
ERC - Poland: And here comes the time we've all been waiting for, as Kajetanowicz posts the fourth fastest time with 4m02.6s, demoting Kubica to third place overall.
Crash
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: More drama for Antonio Felix da Costa. The Red Bull racer goes to the inside of Mikhail Aleshin at Turn 5, but he clips the Russian. Aleshin spins, while da Costa pulls over with front left suspension damage. He's out.
ERC - Poland: A cracking time by Martin Kangur who goes second quickest with 4m00.9s and, as a result, moves up two places overall to seventh, 5.2s behind Breen.
Green flag
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: After five laps behind the safety car we are finally underway here. Negrao and Muller fight over the lead into Turn 1, but the poleman gets the upper hand.

11 Pirro; 12 Crutchlow; 13 Smith; 14 Edwards; 15 Aoyama; 16 De Puniet; 17 Barbera; 18 Corti; 19 Petrucci; 20 Laverty; 21 Hernandez; 22 Abraham; 23 Staring; 24 Pesek.

ERC - Poland: Breen beats his previous time through Talty by 5.7s as he completes the second pass in 4m09.3s.
Checkered flag
MotoGP - Misano: Pirro sneaks into 11th at the death, but Crutchlow's place is safe as Smith's final flyer falls short.
The latter goes down on his final lap as he hunts the time, but is OK and able to walk away. He'll start tomorrow's race from 13th.

Checkered flag
BTCC - Rockingham: Newsham does a second consecutive lap under 1m23s and remains fastest as the flag falls, followed by Sam Tordoff, Mat Jackson, Jeff Smith, Adam Morgan and Andrew Jordan.
MotoGP - Misano: Crutchlow into the pits, he's called time on this session. Over to Smith and Pirro. Behind them its Edwards, de Puniet, Aoyama and Barbera. Two minutes on the clock.
ERC - Poland: Kubica's progress up the order has been somewhat delayed as he posts a time 7.5s slower than Bouffier and is now 19.8s behind the Frenchman overall.
MotoGP - Misano: Crutchlow goes top now with an identical lap to Pirro - he's top though courtesy of a faster second lap. Which means Smith has to find even more time if he's to demote the pair and win his own place in Q2.
Stopwatch
BTCC - Rockingham: Tordoff re-asserts himself at the top of the times before Dave Newsham pumps in the first lap under 1m23s to nab the top spot.
ERC - Poland: And here comes Bouffier with a time of 4m00.6s - 1.3s quicker than he went this morning.
Stopwatch
BTCC - Rockingham: Jeff Smith briefly tops the times before Mat Jackson puts him back to 2nd.
MotoGP - Misano: Smith is six hundredths of a second away from denying Crutchlow a spot in Q2. He's got seven minutes to find that gap.
ERC - Poland: Next through is Kosciuszko who is 3.1s slower than Kopecky.
MotoGP - Misano: Pirro goes fastest now to leave Crutchlow on the bubble. His time is likely to be beyond all but Smith (famous last words). Edwards is 13th and best of the rest, three tenths down on Crutchlow.
BTCC - Rockingham: Mat Jackson leaps to 2nd fastest in his Motorbase Focus. Team-mate Aron Smith goes 10th. Three minutes to go and Jackson now on a quicker lap.
Lights out
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: They're off. Sort of. As the field follows the safety car away, Carlos Sainz Jr and Carlos Huertas fail to get off the line. Sainz gets going eventually, but Huertas is rolled towards the pits.
ERC - Poland: Kopecky is first to post a time in this afternoon's first stage. He completes Talty in 4m02.1s. As a guide, Bouffier completed it in 4m01.9s this morning.
MotoGP - Misano: We're underway in Q1, and its Crutchlow who sets the early pace with a 1m35.104s. Michele Pirro sits second, four tenths down. Just the two spots available to progress into Q2, which means Bradley Smith, currently in ninth, could miss out.
RallycrossRX - Austria: Alexander Hvaal set the fastest time in heat one at RallycrossRX at Greinbach. Anton Marklund was second fastest, with Liam Doran, Frode Holte, Peter Hedstrom and Timur Timerzyanov rounding out the top six.
Petter Solberg had a startline problem, which meant he got a slow getaway and gave his rivals a half-lap lead. Timmy Hansen meanwhile had a first lap spin but recovered to finish his race. Andreas Bakkerud also spun but was unable to restart his Citroen DS3.
Fastest in Super1600 was Reinis Nitiss while Irish driver Derek Tohill was quickest in TouringCar.

FR3.5 - Hungaroring: Race control confirms that the race will start behind the safety car.
Stopwatch
BTCC - Rockingham: Morgan finally deposes Tordoff by 0.142s as Plato finally completes a flying lap sequence and goes 5th. Nine minutes to go.
BTCC - Rockingham: Adam Morgan goes up to 3rd in Ciceley Racing Toyota. Top 16 covered by less than a second at the moment. Shedden shaves the gap to Tordoff down to less than a tenth.
BTCC - Rockingham: Gordon Shedden goes 2nd fastest as he begins his usual free practice late-show in the Honda, 0.111s shy of Tordoff. Just under 12 minutes to go.
Rain
FR3.5 - Hungaroring: More weather updates from Hungary: with less than 10 minutes to go until the start of race one, a huge downpour has just started. So much for all of the standing water having cleared.
ERC - Poland: The second loop of the day gets underway at 14:10 local time (13:10 BST) with a re-run of this morning's Talty and Baranowo stages, before the resort town of Mikolajki hosts a 2.5-kilometre test.
Bouffier currently leads the rally, ahead of home hero Robert Kubica who notched up his 17th stage win of the season with a sublime performance before the interval.
Don't count out Kajetanowicz just yet though, as the runaway leader in the Polish championship - and two-time Rally Poland winner - will be desperate to reclaim his second place this afternoon.
Bryan Bouffier opens early lead over Robert Kubica.
