WEC - Silverstone: The #1 Toyota is in, driven by Nakajima. Takes fuel and tyres, with Buemi jumping in. Lotterer in the #7 Audi is also in - that means that both cars will likely need to make a splash-and-dash late on, whereas the #18 Porsche should be able to avoid that.
WEC - Silverstone: Canal brings the LMP2-class leading #26 Ligier into the pits. Fuel, tres and a tyre change and Bird jumps in.

European F3 - Silverstone: Alex Albon, one of the stars of the weekend on Signature's return to European F3, came up with a new addition to the 'Why I Made A Bad Start' tome, after lining up fourth for race two and dropping to ninth.
Due to the shadow cast by a peak in the grandstand roof, a tiny patch of the start-finish straight was still wet from the morning's rain - exactly where Albon was sitting.
"I just sat there with the wheels spinning!" he grinned.

WEC - Silverstone: Jarvis spins the #8 Audi into the gravel coming onto the national straight and recovers.
Rain
IndyCar - NOLA: Wet weather has caused the warm-up to be called off, and it didn't even get as far as Saturday's truncated qualifying session.
WEC - Silverstone: The #18 Porsche is taking fuel and tyres and Jani takes over. As throughout the race, the Porsche is taking fresh rubber at every stop, meaning that it can't match the double stints of its rivals.
WEC - Silverstone: Lieb comes into the pits in the #18 Porsche.
BES - Monza: Bonacini has now lost third place to Vanthoor in the #1 Audi and he continues to tumble down the order as Cameron in the #51 Ferrari goes past as well, pushing the #11 Ferrari down to fifth place overall.
WEC - Silverstone: Lieb's lead is down to seven seconds over Lotterer. And he still has another stop to make to be on level terms strategically.
Green flag
And the #50 Chevy is back underway. Albeit very slowly.
BES - Monza: The battle for second place overall appears to be over for now as Bonacini in the #11 Ferrari has dropped back by over six seconds from Salikhov .
Turns out that it's the result of a class with the #8 Audi driven by Jarvis. Poulsen, in the Chevy, appeared to turn in on him while being lapped.
Yellow flag
WEC - Silverstone: The #50 Larbre Chevrolet is in the gravel at the end of the Becketts complex.
WEC - Silverstone: Christensen pits in the #91 Porsche, which is gradually working its way into the lead battle in the class. He hands over to LIetz.
WEC - Silverstone: The #18 Porsche is in the lead temporarily. Lieb will drop back when he pits shortly.
BES - Monza: Salikhov in the #333 Rinaldi Ferrari is coming under huge pressure from Bonacini in the #11 Kessel Ferrari in the battle for second overall and ProAm honours. They're both trying to get through plenty of traffic at the same time.
WEC - Silverstone: Lotterer pits in the #7 Audi. He's staying in the car for a triple stint. And he gets a fresh set of tyres after double-stinting the previous set.
Audi, Silverstone WEC 2015

2: #333 Salikhov (Rinaldi Ferrari)
