DTM
Here's the full report from that superb end to the DTM season: 
DTM
Wehrlein was out of his car, to shake hands with some marshals, but now that his Mercedes is hooked up to the back of a truck for a tow, he's back in. And very visibly doing his belts back up, to avoid a repeat of yesterday's 3,000 euro fine.
DTM
Wehrlein has beached his Mercedes on a kerb in the stadium section while doing more doughnuts. Ekstrom probably wins the style and technique points.
ELMS
Thiriet brings the TDS Racing ORECA 05 into the pits and hands over to Nicolas Lapierre, who is making his debut for the team after replacing Tristan Gommendy.
DTM
Wehrlein finished nearly one lap down, in 21st, but caps his championship year with some more doughnuts in-front of the Mercedes grandstand.
ELMS
Shaytar's marathon stint in the BR01 is over after over two-and-a-quarter hours. He has handed over to Ladygin. The stop means that Hirsch has taken the lead in the Greaves Gibson, but he's under pressre from Thiriet.
DTM
Green wins, as fireworks erupt on the front straight. Ekstrom takes second, Mortara third to complete an all-Audi podium.
FR3.5
FR3.5 Race 2 Jerez: 1 De Vries; 2 Rowland; 3 Vaxiviere; 4 Ellinas; 5 Malja; 6 Dillmann.
DTM
Last lap for Green.
FR3.5
Nyck de Vries scores his maiden FR3.5 win. Last year's FR2.0 Eurocup champion led home a super-close battle for second. Oliver Rowlannd claimed the spot by 0.075s from Matthieu Vaxiviere.
DTM
Martin uses DRS to get back past da Costa, with just over one-minute-plus-one-lap to go.
Yellow flag
The JMW Ferrari that has been a strong GTE-class contender has ground to a halt with Ferrari-contracted James Calado at the wheel.
DTM
Da Costa is up to sixth, putting a move on Martin.
DTM
Wehrlein is asking for the order of the race. Guess he wants to stay informed, way down the field.
DTM
Green still leads by two seconds, with five minutes remaining.
DTM
Wehrlein is in a very battered Mercedes, and down to 21st.
FR3.5
Visser and Stockinger are involved in an accident at the last corner ahead of the restart. It appeared that the Lotus driver outbraked himself and hit Visser's left-rear tyre, sending the AVF car spinning.
ELMS
We're eight minutes past half distance in the four-hour European Le Mans Series finale at Estoril and all is looking good for Greaves Motorsport. Gary Hirsch holds second place, which is currently enough to seal the championship. Victor Shaytar leads in the new-for-2015 BR01.
DTM
After serving his drive-through, Molina has passed Farfus for 12th. His next target is Glock.
DTM
That would mean he finishes 19 points behind Wehrlein in the overall standings. Missed opportunity, given Audi's form this year?
DTM
If things stay like this, Green would finish second in the standings with 150 points, ahead of Ekstrom on 147 and Mortara on 143.
FR3.5
Draco's Andre Negrao has received a new nosecone. Could this be connected to Nissany's puncture? The Brazilian had been running behind Nissany in tenth place.
RX
Andreas Bakkerud took the lead at the first corner of the final in Italy to lead the race from start to finish and collect his first win of 2015 at the penultimate round of the World Rallycross Championship.
From pole position, Johan Kristoffersson slotted into second at the start, took his joker on lap five and maintained second, while championship leader Petter Solberg needed to win to claim his second crown in as many years but had to settle for third.
Anton Marklund scored his best result of the season in fourth, with Manfred Stohl fifth and Timur Timerzyanov sixth.

DTM
With 14 minutes to go, Green leads Ekstrom by 2.5s.
FR3.5
Roy Nissany has crashed out of ninth place after sustaining a puncture entering Turn 1. The safety car has been deployed on lap 17, which is bad news for leader Nyck de Vries. The Dutchman had built up a commanding 10.2s cushion over a tight battle for second disputed between Rowland and Vaxiviere.
DTM
Mortara takes third from di Resta, having set the fastest lap of the race on the previous tour.
DTM
Here's the order: Green, Ekstrom, di Resta, Mortara, Scheider, Martin, da Costa, Spengler, Paffett, Tomczyk.
DTM
Mortara is now hunting di Resta, with 18 minutes to go.
FR3.5
De Vries has resumed without losing the lead. Beitske Visser is second but is the only runner not to have pitted.
Rowland's early stop has got the Sheffield driver ahead of Vaxiviere, but the pair are separated by just 0.5s.

DTM
That's the latest in the manufacturers' championship. BMW started the day in the lead, Audi did sneak ahead earlier in the race.

Contact at Turn 1! Vaxiviere squeezed up Orudzhev's inside but the pair banged wheels. Orudzhev appears to have a front right puncture.
Rowland pitted from fourth on lap 13, leader de Vries has stopped one tour later.

DTM
Wehrlein and Muller are still at it, while they were off the road together exiting the hairpin, Auer passed them both to take 17th. Wehrlein got some serious air over the kerb rejoining the track.
DTM
Mortara pits, rejoins ahead of Martin in fifth place. Good gain, he started the race 13th.
FR3.5
Vaxiviere is darting all over the road in his attempts to take second from Orudzhev. This is shaping up to be a repeat of their epic scrap at Le Mans. The fight will be welcomed by McLaren junior de Vries, who is spinting clear in the lead.
DTM
Wehrlein has had a clash with Muller. Must be nursing damage from earlier rubbing.
DTM
Green is still three seconds ahead of Ekstrom, running three seconds behind Mortara.
DTM
The halfway order: Mortara (yet to pit), Green, Ekstrom, di Resta, Scheider, Martin, da Costa, Spengler, Paffett, Farfus. Wehrlein is 16th.
FR3.5
Nissany and Stockinger take their mandatory tyre change on lap eight.
Up front, de Vries has responded to Orudzhev's spurt and has now opened up a 3.2s lead.
