WRC - Argentina: Latvala finishes his run in 15m07.6s, 20s quicker than Ogier.
That means another stage win for Hirvonen. Impressive stuff.

WTCC - Slovakia: "At the beginning of the race I was hit by somebody, and then during the race I made three or four mistakes," said Borkovic.
"I am happy with the strong start to the season I've had, but it's only the second time I've driven the car in the wet. I damaged the front splitter, and also have damage in several other places on the car."

WRC - Argentina: We're getting ready for the conclusive stage in Argentina. It's very, very much Latvala's to lose. But there's still a battle for sixth to resolve.

WRC - Argentina: Lots of concern over the fog on that stage, but no bother to Hirvonen. He's quickest of the five drivers to have completed their run.
Evans has taken 6s out of Kubica, while Mikkelsen has come through 11s slower than Hirvonen. Good effort.

WTCC - Slovakia: Championship leader Jose Maria Lopez made it clear he will not be taking any risks in race two, as rain continues to pelt down in Slovakia. "If it keeps raining it will be impossible to race," said Lopez.
"Of course, coming through from the back [10th] it will be much more difficult [than race one], as there is much less visibility. The objective will still be the same, try not to do mistakes or desperate moves, try to finish the race and bring the car back to the workshop safely."

WRC - Argentina: Getting ready for the proper conclusion to Rally Argentina now. Just five seconds between Kubica and Evans. The fight for sixth is the only proper one left.

WTCC - Slovakia: ROAL Motorsport's Tom Chilton also had doubts about the viability of attempting to run the second race.
"I am trying to get the race cancelled," said Chilton. "Even behind the safety-car we were aquaplaning. We had to tell Bruno [Correia] to slow down! It has been raining hard for five hours and this track retains the water because it is so flat."

WTCC - Slovakia: One driver who definitely won't be starting race two is Mikhail Kozlovskiy. After being hit by a turbo failure in qualifying, the Lada driver revealed it was engine failure that had prevented him from taking the race one grid.
"We had oil getting into the cylinders," said Kozlovskiy. "There's no way I can start race two as the engine is out of the car."
