Former World Touring Car champion Andy Priaulx has signed to drive for Ford GT in this year's World Endurance Championship.

South Africa v England
What are the chances? No sooner had we written that than South Africa go and declare.
They amassed a rather hefty 627-7 in response to England's 629-6 declared.
So England lead. Hoorah!
Does it mean anything? No, probably not. There is 30 minutes of play remaining today (day four), which means, effectively, there is only one day to get a result.
Barring miracles, that ain't going to happen.
South Africa v England (Second Test)
It remains heavy going for England in Cape Town, where South Africa are still batting towards the end of day four.
South Africa are 625-7. England have been in the field for more than 15 hours. Wowzers.
Cricket
A few pictures are coming through from Pranav Dhanawade's record breaking innings of 1009 (not out).

Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"Chris Gayle has made himself look a fool.
"If he's trying to be jokey or if he's attracted to her, if he wants to ask her out, don't do it on air.
"He shouldn't be saying that on air. It's embarrassing."
Cricket
You may recall - as if you could forget - that West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle has been fined £4,900 for "inappropriate conduct" after he asked a TV reporter for a date in a live interview.
Now Cricket Australia boss James Sutherland said Chris Gayle's comments could be equated with workplace harassment.
"It's not a nightclub, and I think one of the things that perhaps hasn't dawned on everyone is it's actually a workplace," he said.
"Anyone that sees the humour in that is misunderstanding and somewhat delusional about the situation."
Cricket
Remember when we told you earlier about the 15-year old Indian cricketer who finished on 1009 not out?
He's just been congratulated by the greatest Indian cricketer of all - Sachin Tenulkar, who himself held a schoolboy record after sharing a 664-run partnership with Vinod Kambli in 1988. , external
Tendulkar went on to play for India the following year. Remember the name, Pranav Dhanawade....

But Smith, a semi-finalist last year, raced clear in the final set to reach the last 16.
