WEC
Still under the safety car here at Silverstone. Treluyer, Dumas and Sarrazin are all on the same lap, although Sarrazin has a number of cars between him and the #2 Porsche.

RX
The previously dominant Mattias Ekstrom is out of the battle for World Rallycross final honours after hitting trouble in the first semi-final in Portugal.
DTM driver Ekstrom collided with Timmy Hansen at turn one, while others including RX debutante and nine-time World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb took their joker lap. Johan Kristofferson, Loeb and Robin Larsson go through, eliminating the previously dominant Ekstrom as only the top three go through to the final.

WEC
Nakajima parks the #5 Toyota.
Yellow flag
The safety car has been deployed at Silverstone because of the debris from that Toyota problem. This will close the field up.
WEC
The #5 Toyota has suffered a right-rear puncture. The whole tyre has gone and damaged the bodywork, leaving debris all over the track on the run to Brooklands.
WEC
The #6 Toyota heads into the pits from fourth place.
BTCC
While one WSR BMW celebrates a win, another has just been given a pole - Sam Tordoff is drawn from the pot by Jade Edwards as the GT racer gets to select the race three reverse grid point and picks #8.
WEC
And Nakajima brings the #5 Toyota in.
WEC
Race leader Treluyer brings the #7 Audi into the pits.
BTCC
Collard is through at the chicane and past Jackson for the race lead, but Jackson fights back and tries to retake him on the outside at Redgate.
BTCC
Ingram comes off worst - ending up on the grass out of the final corner and plunging down the order as Smith shoots through to third behind Jackson and Collard.
BTCC
Good news for Jackson and his ballast-laden race-leading Ford as the pack behind him get wildly busy with each other. Collard is up to second as Ingram, Jack Goff and Aron Smith bounce off each other in superbly entertaining fashion.
WEC
And Rast takes the LMP2 lead from Watts.
WEC
The battle for the lead is getting very interesting. Treluyer and Lieb running nose to tail.
WEC
Rast is right with the LMP2-leading Gibson of Watts now. We could soon see a change of lead.
WEC
There's no further action on the pass for the lead by Treluyer. It was indeed amid suspicion of a pass under yellow flags.
BTCC
Back to green at Donington, Jackson clings onto the lead but he's got an ample queue behind him.
WEC
Rast takes second in LMP2 from Senna after a grassy moment.
BTCC
Action resumes at Donington (three-abreast action in the midfield), with Jackson still holding a very narrow lead over Ingram and Rob Collard.
But now the safety car returns as Colin Turkington's Subaru is in the gravel.

WEC
Up front, the order is: #2 Porsche; #7 Audi; #5Toyota; #6 Toyota.
WEC
A course car has taken an Audi mechanic to attend to the stricken #8 Audi. This is because of there is a hybrid problem. There's a plume of smoke coming out of the cockpit as Di Grassi jumps out.
WEC
And the leading #2 Porsche has pitted under the full-course yellow. As part of that stop, there was a change of the nose.
WEC
The #1 Porsche has been lifted out of the gravel. The #86 Porsche is also being recovered.
WEC
Replays show Hartley was fortunate not to roll in the Porsche. As it was, it was launched onto its side before falling back onto its wheels and flying into the gravel trap.
WEC
GARY WATKINS: Toyota has brought in both its cars during this FCY. That means it's effectively taking the splash it was predicting it would need. The pitlane entry/exit here at Silverstone means the time losst of the pitstop under the yellows is kept to a minimum.
WEC
So the upshot of all that is that the #1 Porsche is out after its high speed off. That means the #2 Porsche of Jani is in the lead from the #8 Audi.
WEC
And the #8 Audi is also in trouble - Di Grassi has stopped on track. That car was already hobbled, but now it's not moving at all.
Yellow flag
Hartley tried to sweep around the outside of Wainwright and ended up making contact with the left-hand side of the Porsche. Full course yellow.
Replays show that they made contact on the run out of Abbey - the Porsche ended up briefly on its side. Hartley is out of the car.
WEC
Hartley is off in the leading #1 Porsche. Looks like he's tangled with the #86 Porsche of Wainwright.
Bird pits in the GTE Pro-leading #71 Ferrari. He hands over to Rigon.
WEC
The #44 ORECA is in the Manor garage. Jakes is on board that.
RX
Not long until the first instalment of Loeb v Solberg, Peugeot v Citroen begins with the World RX final in Portugal. DTM and RX exponent Mattias Ekstrom is on pole in his Audi.
WEC
The #8 Audi is now a lap down on the leader.

WEC
In GTE Pro, the #99 Porsche of Al Qubaisi continues to lead with Ried second in the #78 KCMG Porsche.
WEC
Hartley's lead is now 42s over Jani. Treluyer is 6.5s behind the second Porsche. The #8 Audi is still a hobbled sixth.
WEC
Both of the Ganassi Fords, currently second and third in GTE Pro, are in the pits. Mucke and Priaulx hand over to Johnson and Franchitti.
WEC
Bradley has looped the #45 ORECA and recovered.
