Euro RX - Loheac: Bakkerud takes the joker next time around and rejoins with a big lead over Solberg.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Rins and Salom are currently embroiled in a battle for second place. The pair have just traded places around the Loop section on lap six of 17.
Euro RX - Loheac - final result:

1 Andreas Bakkerud; 2 Petter Solberg; 3 Davy Jeanney; 4 Timur Timerzyanov; 5 Gaetan Serazin; 6 Tanner Foust.
Euro RX - Loheac: Looks like Timerzyanov and Foust had further contact on the final lap as the American ended up in the earth bank and Jeanney pinched third from the Russian.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Salom did well to take victory in a hard-fought Brno race last weekend. Can he do the same today? He is reeling in Vinales with every passing lap, setting quickest times along the way.
Moto3 - Silverstone: And sure enough, he has taken the lead on lap 7 of 17 at Stowe.
Moto3 - Silverstone: And from fourth to first in a flash is Marquez! He currently has Salom behind, who has Rins up his exhaust pipe.

Will he be able to hold on for another eight laps to take the race win?
Moto3 - Silverstone: Into Vale for the 11th time and Vinales reclaims first position as the leading group continue to pull away from the rest of the field.

Salom, at the back of the four-bike pack, is a massive 8.8s ahead of Folger in fifth.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Four laps to go and the leading quartet and putting on a great show for the fans who stayed on after the main event.

Vinales still maintains his lead, while Rins and Marquez take turns in second and Salom is within sniffing distance.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Vinales? No, Salom crosses the line in first with a brilliant move from fourth at Luffield!
Moto3 - Silverstone: Three laps to go in this epic race, which Rins now currently leads ahead of Marquez. Who is going to win this? Your guess is as good as ours...
Moto3 - Silverstone: Splendid bit of slipstreaming action by Salom down the Hangar Straight as he moves from third to first!
Moto3 - Silverstone: Final lap has begun and it's Salom who is still in the lead, with Rins close behind and Marquez and Vinales closer still.
Superstars - Donington: Race two about to kick off at Donington.

Mauro Trentin will start from pole, with Andrea Bacci joining him on the front row.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Great bit of defensive riding by Salom at Vale to stop Rins and Marquez from moving ahead.
Moto3 - Silverstone: And it's now a two-man fight between Salom and Rins as the former leads into Brooklands!
Auto GP - Donington: Manor MP Motorsport team manager Sander Dorsman believes that his race two polesitting driver Meindert van Buuren and, fellow front-row starter, Ibiza Racing's Tamas Pal Kiss will be the only drivers at the front of the field who will start on new tyres.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Phew! Salom just about holds on to take the chequered flag ahead of Rins and extends his championship lead in doing so.

Marquez comes home third with poleman Vinales 0.153s adrift in fourth.
IndyCar - Baltimore: The morning warm-up will start in a couple of minutes. It's another warm and sunny morning here in Baltimore: weather forecasts had indicated the possibility of storms today, but so far, so good.
Moto3 - Silverstone results: 1 Salom; 2 Rins +0.049s; 3 Marquez +0.649s; 4 Vinales +0.151s; 5 Oliveira +19.712s.
Superstars - Donington: And race two is green. Thomas Biagi makes a huge start to go from sixth to first before the first corner!

Meanwhile, Tonio Liuzzi has peeled into pitlane, and is out of the car. Looks like his day is done.
Nationwide Atlanta

Nationwide Atlanta


NASCAR - Atlanta: One thing missing from AUTOSPORT Race Centre Live this weekend is the NASCAR Sprint Cup, as its main events at Atlanta all take place during the European night.

We had qualifying on Friday evening, when Ricky Stenhouse Jr put his Roush Fenway Ford on pole for the first time.

The Nationwide Series had centre stage on Saturday night, but it was a pair of Cup superstars who fought for victory as Kevin Harvick narrowly defeated Kyle Busch in a no-nonsense final-lap battle.

Third place for Sam Hornish Jr extended his championship lead.

The Trucks are on road course duty in Canada this weekend. Their Mosport Park race is this afternoon local time.
Superstars - Donington: Half-way through race two and Thomas Biagi is still leading, but Gianni Morbidelli is giving him a hard time.

But race one winner Luigi Ferrara is out. He's just pulled into pitlane and jumped out of the car.
IndyCar - Baltimore: Compared with yesterday's chaotic qualifying session it's been a relatively sedate morning so far. We're just about halfway through warm-up now, and James Jakes is currently fastest. The Brit has a 10-place grid penalty today.
Superstars - Donington: Gianni Morbidelli just pulled a stunning move on Thomas Biagi at Redgate to take the lead. Seven minutes to go.
Moto3 - Silverstone: That British GP victory has given Luis Salom some very welcome breathing space in the title race.

Championship standings after 11 of 17 rounds:


1 Luis Salom 233
2 Maverick Vinales 207
3 Alex Rins 200
4 Jonas Folger 120
5 Alex Marquez 117
6 Miguel Oliveira 85

(25 points for a win)
Josef Newgarden

Josef Newgarden


IndyCar - Baltimore: Josef Newgarden goes to P1.

He's looking really good this weekend, and is super-brave through the chicane. Indeed, he said yesterday that it's the only part of the track that he's actually quick on.

Given that he qualified on the third row, he might be underselling himself a bit.
IndyCar - Baltimore: Both Sebastien Bourdais and Will Power improve on Newgarden's time on their final lap, and the session ends with Bourdais on top.
WEC - Interlagos: Black armbands on the grid for everyone in memory of the late Allan Simonsen. Le Mans seems a long time ago now.
IndyCar - Baltimore: Very bad news for Dario Franchitti, with Honda confirming that his newly-installed engine failed during warm-up.
WEC - Interlagos: The cars are leaving the grid. The GTE AM pole-winning AF Ferrari is at the back - the car lost the pole after failing the post-qualifying rideheight test.
WEC - Interlagos: McNish gets the jump on Fassler around the outside into the first corner to lead.
WEC - Interlagos: McNish is edging away from Fassler - he's 1.2s up after three laps. Conway is ahead in P2 for G-Drive/Delta-ADR and Lamy leads GTE Pro for Aston.
Auto GP - Donington: All the cars have made it onto the grid for race two, and the field has been shown the one minute board.

Polesitter Meindert van Buuren is chasing his maiden Auto GP victory, after being stripped of an on-the-road win at Mugello in July for crossing the white line on the pitlane exit.
WEC - Interlagos: Marc Lieb in the works Porsche, who was briefly second at the start, has a problem with the right-hand front. It's a puncture at least, maybe suspension damage, too.
WEC - Interlagos: Lieb pits and gets going after a quick tyre change. Bruni has just taken the lead in GTE Pro from the Lamy Aston.
WEC - Interlagos: Ten laps in, and McNish is 3.7s up on Fassler. Davidson in the Toyota is a further 6.6s behind.
Auto GP - Donington: Van Buuren leads manor MP team-mate De Jong. Front row man Tamas Pal Kiss has dropped to P9.
Auto GP - Donington: Formerly fifth-placed Robert Visoiu has dropped to last after an extremely slow mandatory tyre change.
