Audi locks out top three in DTM season opener

The title defence has started. At the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg, Swedish Audi driver, Mattias Ekström, won the first DTM race of the year. After 169.238 kilometres, the 29-year old was the first to cross the finish line. “My new A4 goes like a rocket”, said the overjoyed winner of the season opener about his car.

For Ekström, it is the eleventh DTM victory of his career. For Audi, it was the 43rd DTM race win. Pole-sitter Timo Scheider came home second, 0.824 seconds down on the winner. Danish driver, Tom Kristensen completed Audi’s clean sweep of the podium by finishing third.

Timo Scheider fastest in first test

A test without any particular incidents. However, the first of two test sessions in the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben brought some interesting revelations. After its triumphal triple victory at Hockenheim, Audi is setting the pace at Oschersleben as well. At least for the time being, as the real balance in performance between the two premium brands Audi and Mercedes-Benz will only become clear in tomorrow’s qualifying (from 13.33 h).

On Friday morning, Timo Scheider set the fastest lap time with his new Audi A4 DTM. The Austrian-based driver lapped the 3.696 kilometres long track in 1:22.620 minutes, 0.382 seconds faster than his team-mate Tom Kristensen. Markus Winkelhock, Oliver Jarvis, Martin Tomczyk and the winner of the season opener, Mattias Ekström, followed suit. Only seventh was Paul di Resta with the fastest AMG Mercedes C-Class. He came 0.633 seconds short of Scheider’s fastest time.
