ERC - Poland: Not the best of stages for Breen, who beached his car on a right-hander. He does complete it in 16m23.0s, however, so not the slowest of times.
ERC - Poland: The times they are a tumbling. Kubica's just posted the quickest time with 16m01.3s.
"It was very good," says the Pole. "The conditions are so difficult, every corner you can go off. Very, very difficult."

ERC - Poland: Unbelievable commitment by all drivers this morning in what are very slippery conditions. It's muddier than a pig pen from start to finish.

BTCC - Rockingham: Top dog Matt Neal gives his verdict on the first session: "The circuit was exactly the same on the last lap as it was on the first lap. It wasn't drying at all. Quite alarming!"
