Camilli looks to have found some pace after a challenging rally so far, he's 0.4s faster than Tanak at the first split. His time was 4m28.6s.
He could well catch up to Ligato who is seventh overall by around 4s.

The pole-winning HTP Merc is leading the BGTS Endurance Cup opener at Monza in the hands of Dominik Baumann. Daniel Keilwitz in the Black Pearl Ferrari is slowly closing in on him from 10th on the grid.

The final Formula V8 3.5 race of the weekend is up next at the Hungaroring. Saturday race winner Johnny Cecotto Jr was fastest by some seconds when qualifying was at its wettest this morning.
A piece of tape blanketing the brake ducts was fitted on one side and not the other, though, and a growing imbalance in temperatures as the session progressed caused Cecotto to fade as qualifying reached its climax. The Venezuelan will start from ninth.

We mentioned the war of words between Paddon and Ogier, and you can read more on it here: 
MotoGP
Not a lot of interaction between Rossi, Marquez and Lorenzo on their way to and on the podium, after last year's drama. But that will be the furthest thing from Rossi's mind.

There's a bit of a gap until SS17, so we'll keep an eye on how WRC2 plays out. We're expecting Nicholas Fuchs to retain his class lead after his rivals struggled yesterday.

WTCC
There is a solid queue of fans heading in the dfirection of the car parks at the Hungaroring. The rain and, more to the point, chill wind here may have tested the resolve of the legion of Norbert Michelisz fans who had the disappointment of seeing their man go out on the parade lap.
However, those who stayed were treated to a tremendous WTCC race, including a charging drive by Gabriele Tarquini to fifth from a pitlane start.

WRC
So with our WRC drivers through, Tanak has just taken DMCAK's second ever stage win. Their last was Sweden 2014.
MotoGP
Rossi wins. What a performance, surely up there in terms of his decorated career.
WRC
Paddon is half a second slower than Ogier at the first split. Could be a good result for Ogier coming.
MotoGP
The Italian journalists near Autosport are getting their hands ready for a round of applause.
MotoGP
Last lap for Rossi. He celebrated pole position yesterday very heartily. Look for more of the same in about one minute.
Twitter
WRC
Good stage for Sordo, he's 20.5s slower than Tanak but he's still second in the stage from the runners in so far. 0.9s the margin between him and Camilli in third.
MotoGP
Two laps to go for Rossi. Closest battle is for ninth, Barbera trying to pass Laverty to take top satellite honours.
WRC
Ogier is 12.6s slower than Tanak at the first split, considering the conditions that's impressive. Team-mate Mikkelsen was 0.7s slower at the same point. Start of an Ogier fightback?
MotoGP
So how about this Valentino Rossi guy? 37 years of age, an age riders don't tend to get faster or better, but he has rolled out a masterclass. The odds on him taking an eighth MotoGP title will be coming down...
WRC
Ostberg said he went off early in the stage, but the spectators helped him back on quickly. Added it was a misunderstanding over the pace notes.
WRC
Ostberg is in, but he has a good cushion around him. He'll remain fifth overall.
MotoGP
Lorenzo's pace has dropped off after that surge a few laps ago. He lost another half a second to Rossi that last time around, the gap is now 4.2s, with four laps remaining. He will, though, take four points out of Marquez's championship lead.
WRC
Neuville is in and he recovered quickly after losing some time. He's a fair bit quicker than Solberg, and is now 35.1s ahead for seventh overall.
It's been a strong turnaround from Neuville after struggling badly early in the rally.

WTCC
Leading gaps are fairly static at the Hungaroring, with Catsburg not catching Bennani quickly enough. Chilton has made his way past Ekblom, though, and is now third.
To compound Citroen's misery, both Lopez and Muller have pitted and are a lap down.

Hayden Paddon joins the stage too. Does he risk pushing and extending his lead over Ogier further, or go safe and allow Ogier to close a little?
The fog is creating a bit of a tactical battle. We're already hearing some drivers chose to be conservative here, such as Solberg.

MotoGP
Rossi is now 3.4s ahead with five laps to go. This would be Rossi's first victory since Silverstone's wet-dry race last August, if nothing changes.
WRC
Sordo, Mikkelsen and Ogier are into the stage, so we're starting to see our leading cars battle this stage.
MotoGP
Iannone is now past Pol Espargaro and up to seventh. A mature ride this, given Ducati's power-delivery issues all weekend.
WRC
Solberg has finished the rally, and he's 1m13.4s slower than Tanak. Not great, but Neuville's problems should keep him seventh overall.
MotoGP
Rossi responds again. Half a second faster than Lorenzo that last time around, the lead is back out to three seconds with six laps to go. Job done?
WRC
The times are progressively slowing, so the fog is clearly a big factor. Looking ahead, it could mean a very difficult stage for Ogier and Paddon. Will it be yet another twist in this rally?
MotoGP
Marquez is now five seconds behind Lorenzo in a lonely third. Pedrosa still third, ahead of A. Expargaro, Vinales, P. Espargaro, Iannone, Laverty, Barbera, Crutchlow and Smith.
MotoGP
Rossi faster by 0.245s in total over that lap, 2.246s is the margin with seven laps to go. Lorenzo spoke about not staying patient in Argentina where he crashed in the race, and copping a hit in the points. How does he manage it from here? Attack Rossi, or play it safe and bank the points for second?
WTCC
Catsburg has made his was past Ekblom for second, and now goes off in pursuit of leader Bennani - who is four seconds up the road.
Ekblom has now dropped into the clutches of Chilton, who is harrying the Volvo for the final podium spot.

WRC
Ostberg stopped, and continued. He's 47.8s slower than the first split's best time, so something isn't right there.
He's second overall in the championship and has been driving conservatively to preserve his standing.

Rossi is responding this lap through the first three sectors. Lead back out to 2.289s.
WRC
Camilli was asked if the stage was enjoyable. His response: "No."
WRC
Talk now that Neuville is struggling on stage. He was the second slowest after Bertelli through the first split.
