DTM - Oschersleben: BMW responds by pitting Farfus the following lap. He rejoins behind Joey Hand in ninth, but keeps ahead of Rockenfeller.
Hand moves aside, letting his RBM BMW team-mate through and will now keep Rockenfeller behind for as long as he can (well, until the blue flags force him to move out of the way anyway).

DTM - Oschersleben: Green pits from the lead and emerges third, behind Farfus and Albuquerque - both of whom have also stopped once.
Rockenfeller, who had been on Farfus's tail, pits for the final time on the same lap and emerges 12th.

DTM - Oschersleben: Timo Scheider charges down the inside of Spengler for what is now sixth place at Turn 3. Spengler made no attempt to defend, his last lap half a second slower than his rival.
Both pass Tambay, who pits from third and emerges seventh.

MotoGP - Misano: Lorenzo leads by almost three seconds at the end of lap three. Marquez starting to hound his team-mate now, while Rossi continues to lurk less than half a second down the road...and he's past Marquez and into third when the latter goes too deep into Turn 8. We have a race on our hands.
Crutchlow and Bradl keeping up with this three-way fight in fifth and sixth. Andrea Iannone meanwhile has crashed out of ninth.

DTM - Oschersleben: Disaster for Andy Priaulx. He may well have been on for a point in this race. Not any more as he's spun by Juncadella at Turn 2.
DTM - Oschersleben: Farfus pits from the lead on lap 21 and just manages to keep the advantage from the charging Rockenfeller.
The German is right on the Brazilian's tail, and he's on the preferred option tyres while Farfus has standards for this stint.

MotoGP - Misano: Lorenzo snatches one second on that first lap. Pedrosa, Marquez and Rossi are all together, while Crutchlow has also got by Espargaro - who did indeed jump the start and will have to take a ride-through as a result.
Lights out
MotoGP - Misano: Lorenzo leads from Pedrosa and Marquez. Espargaro passes Rossi, but at first glance he appeared to jump the start and might face some sort of punishment.
Deja vu at the front though, as Lorenzo sets a searing early pace ahead of the two works Hondas. The difference is that Rossi is right up with them now, having made light work of passing Espargaro.

DTM - Oschersleben: Rockenfeller goes by Priaulx for fifth, the Brit obeying blue flags to let him by.
Quite why the DTM feels the need to ask drivers that are off-sequence on strategy to move out of the way for others - that they are fighting for position - is anybody's guess.

MotoGP - Misano: Riders start their warm up lap, and we're moments away from the start in Italy. Can anyone stop Marquez?
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.
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.

Checkered flag
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: 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.

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: 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

Lights out
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: 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: 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.

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: 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.

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: 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!

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.

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.
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.
Trophy

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.
Checkered flag
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!
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.
