Crash
ERC - Poland: Drama as Kubica is trying to nurse his car to the finish minus its front right wheel.
ELMS - Hungaroring: Hartley now has Panciatici's lead down to under a minute, with 35 mins left on the clock. A sprinkling of light rain is threatening to mix things up as well, so the Signatech Alpine squad cannot relax just yet.
ERC - Poland: Kosciuscko loses 13.7s to the current championship leader. Bouffier is next to complete the stage and sets an incredible time of 16m13.3s!
ERC - Poland: Kopecky is the the first car home with a time of 16m42.8s and describes the stage as "horrible, much worse than the first pass."

In the GT ranks, Emmanuel Collard is hunting down the class-leading #77 Porsche, which Nick Tandy has handed to Klaus Bachler for the final stint. The top two are covered by 22s, with Johnny Mowlem 50s behind Bachler in third.

Kubica was quickest through Mragowo this morning, but current rally leader Bouffier has vowed to keep pushing in an effort to extend his 17.2s advantage.
“It feels good to be in this position, but I will continue to keep fighting because the gap is very small to the drivers behind," said the Frenchman during the brief interval.

ELMS - Hungaroring: Half distance up now, and Ragues is doing more than enough to keep Signatech's lead over the Turvey/Jota combination at well over a minute.
There's been some action in GTE - class leader Jean-Karl Vernay has just been given a one-minute stop/go penalty for overtaking under yellow flags, and Johnny Mowlem's #52 Ferrari makes an unscheduled stop with a missing wing mirror. This will all play into the hands of Nick Tandy in the #77 Porsche, which is now second as we await Vernay's penalty.

ELMS - Hungaroring: Turvey has finally taken the second place he was lining up a move for before his puncture struck earlier on. He's got ahead of Hirschi, and is now 1m26s behind race leader Ragues.
Checkered flag
BTCC - Rockingham: No one else is able to take the fight to MG in the dying minutes, so Plato leads a Triple Eight one-two from Tordoff to prove Ian Harrison's predictions wrong. Austin, Jordan, Shedden and Jeff Smith round out the top six.
ELMS - Hungaroring: Ragues had a slow start to his second stint after taking slick tyres, but they have finally come alive and he has just taken the fastest lap from intermediate-shod Turvey. But the Jota car is also lighting up the timing screen, showing how marginal tyre selection is right now as the track dries so slowly.
