Moto3 - Silverstone: Kent manages to stay clear of the colliding pair

Moto3 - Silverstone: Lights out at Silverstone for Moto3, will we have a Brit on the top step at the end of 17 laps?
WEC - Nurburgring: There was contact between Makowiecki and Calado as the FCY boards were shown.
WEC - Nurburgring: Replays show that Makowiecki clipped the back of Calado's Ferrari as the full-course yellow was deployed.
WEC - Nurburgring: Calado is crawling back to the pits with some rear-end damage.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Martin gets past Auer, and desperate not to lose any more time, Ekstrom and Green force past at Turn 13.

DTM - Moscow Raceway: Rockenfeller is now 4.2s ahead of Spengler. More than comfortable, that margin.

Further back, Wehrlein is up to 11th - which will become 10th when Auer pits - after passing Blomqvist at the final corner. Juncadella has now made his stop.

Moto3 - Silverstone: Five minutes until the start of the race. The rain continues to fall as the mechanics start to move back to the garages.

Jorge Navarro lines up in pole position after he secured his first career pole yesterday. He is joined by Karel Hanika and home favourite Danny Kent on the first row.

Fellow Brit, John McPhee starts 12th after an impressive performance in front of the home crowd.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Spengler has cleared Auer, but the time spent behind the Mercedes rookie has let Rockenfeller skip away.

Behind Auer now, Martin is under pressure from Ekstrom and Green.
Moto3 - Silverstone: Danny Kent, who has been mulling MotoGP offers for 2016 including the Pramac seat Redding has now grabbed, told AUTOSPORT earlier this week that he's been too cautious and too conscious of his points lead of late, and it's time to get back to riding in a way that will make rivals panic if he's on their tail.

His championship lead over Enea Bastianini has come down from 66 to 44 points over the last two rounds, but prior to that he'd only been off the podium once all season and was doing crazy things like winning Moto3 races by 10 seconds.

Kent looked good for pole here until last-gasp laps from Jorge Navarro and Karel Hanika pushed him back to third. It's not been a straightforward weekend - he missed nearly all of first practice after a impact from a stone caused an oil leak, and he had a fall at The Loop in the damp warm-up.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Mortara has passed Muller for what's currently 12th. Behind them, Blomqvist is keeping Wehrlein at bay.

Molina and Tambay have stopped, just Juncadella and Auer yet to do so, with 27 minutes remaining.
Moto3 - Silverstone: The Moto3 riders are out on the starting grid, preparing themselves for the race ahead. The race starts later than planned because of delays in the MotoGP race.
WEC - Nurburgring: Howson stays in front in P2 after the latest round of pitstops. This time KCMG gain some time on OAK. His lead over Rusinov is now up to 6s.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Prior to that performance just now, Petrucci had never finished higher than eighth in MotoGP. But he's always been nifty in the wet, as several star practice times on the far-from-competitive bikes he's been saddled with up to 2015 always showed.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Auer is actually sixth on the road, between Rockenfeller and Spengler.

Tomczyk, meanwhile, retires, as replays show Paffett and Wittmann getting up close and personal down the front straight, with Paffett taking what is effectively sixth place.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: In comes Rockenfeller. Clean stop, he retains the effective race lead, but it looks like Spengler is closer than before these stops.

Yet to pit, Juncadella is the track leader, ahead of Molina, Tambay, Gotz and Auer.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Ekstrom rejoins behind Spengler and Martin, but ahead of Green. Net fourth place.
WEC - Nurburgring: Bernhard takes over the leading Porsche, seemingly on the way to a first WEC victory together with Webber and Hartley. Audi don't have the pace to beat them, so this is their race to lose.
MotoGP - Silverstone: Here is AUTOSPORT's report from MATT BEER at Silverstone of that remarkable race:

Valentino Rossi wins wet race to resurrect lead

DTM - Moscow Raceway: Ekstrom pits, di Resta does the same from a little further down the order.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Wickens has served his penalty, but would appear to be under investigation again, for pitlane speeding.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Rockenfeller is 3.6s clear of Ekstrom. Spengler is the first of the drivers yet to pit, in 10th.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Spengler pits the next time around, he rejoins ahead of Martin and Green. Rockenfeller and Ekstrom still yet to pit at the front of the field.

Wickens has received a drive-through for pitlane speeding.
DTM - Moscow Raceway: Martin, Paffett, Muller and Wickens pit the next time around. Another 'interesting' release, this time Paffett into the lane as Muller approached.
