European F3 - Brands Hatch: Combined free practice top 10: 1 Auer; 2 Marciello; 3 Rosenqvist; 4 Grenhagen; 5 Serralles; 6 King; 7 Lynn; 8 Blomqvist; 9 van de Laar; 10 Lewis.
Final MotoGP practice two top 10: 1 Pedrosa, 2 Marquez, 3 Rossi, 4 Lorenzo, 5 Bradl, 6 Crutchlow, 7 Dovizioso, 8 Hayden, 9 Bautista, 10 Espargaro.
MotoGP - Le Mans: Dani Pedrosa fastest again in second practice, but only by 0.094s over Valentino Rossi. Full report on AUTOSPORT shortly.
ERC - Corsica: Robert Kubica completes SS3 but has lost another 6s to increasingly dominant leader Breen.

"It was OK. We took it easy," says the Pole. "The first time through this stage was very tricky and at the beginning it was very, very damp."
ERC - Corsica: Craig Breen is on course for another stage win on SS3 at present. He calls his time "mediocre". Fellow Peugeot man Bryan Bouffier insists Breen must be "pushing like hell".
MotoGP - Le Mans: Andrea Iannone crashes at the final corner and looks in some pain. The Italian had surgery to cure arm pump in the gap between races.
European F3 - Brands Hatch: We've had a red flag due to a crash by Alex Lynn at Clearways. His Prema Powerteam car doesn't look badly damaged and has now been craned away. There were three minutes left of FP1, which have now been added onto the FP2 total. Jann Mardenborough had gone off into the gravel at Paddock seconds earlier, but made it out.
ERC - Corsica: A few adventures for Francois Delecour, who announces at the end of SS3 "I think I've blown the exhaust and I also lost the brakes".

But a veteran WRC winner can cope with little dramas like that.
DTM - Brands Hatch: No DTM action on-track today. The first we'll see of the Mercedes, BMWs and Audis will be in tomorrow morning's free practice session. Meantime Andy Priaulx and Timo Glock are taking a few invited guests on an open-topped bus tour of Kent!
MotoGP - Le Mans: no spray at all from de Puniet and Hiroshi Aoyama, so the works teams are confident enough to come out and get the session underway properly.
MotoGP - Le Mans: the rain and hail have stopped and the sky's blue now. Local favourite Randy de Puniet is going to check out track conditions.
European F3 - Brands Hatch: Qualifying is split into two groups this weekend, the split being done by car number. 15 odd-numbered cars in Group 1, 14 even-numbered cars in Group 2.
MotoGP Le Mans: Free practice two is due to start in 10 minutes but the preceding Moto3 practice session was red-flagged early as heavy rain and hail hit the track.

Weather forecast is ominous for Saturday in particular.
We'll have updates as they happen plus paddock insights from the DTM and European Formula 3 event at Brands Hatch, Robert Kubica's latest European Rally Championship round in Corisca, World Touring Cars at the Salzburgring, Indianapolis 500 qualifying, NASCAR's All-Star weekend at Charlotte, X Games in Barcelona, Superstars at Brno, European Le Mans at Imola and the Le Mans MotoGP weekend.
Welcome to AUTOSPORT Race Centre Live coverage of all the action from around the motorsport world this weekend.
