As expected: The Red Bull Ring at Spielberg guarantees particularly spectacular DTM races. 47,500 spectators saw gripping duels, strange incidents and, in spite of a difficult starting base, four Audi RS 5 DTM cars in the top eight.
Adrien Tambay and Mattias Ekström competing for Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline treated the Austrian crowd to impressive recoveries as well. Tambay, like Scheider (P5), had started on option tires and from position 20 on the grid advanced to sixth place. Ekström had started the race on harder standard tires and was ultimately the best driver using this strategy. The Swede made up ground from grid position 15 to seventh place and thus maintained his second place in the overall DTM standings.
In eleventh place, Miguel Molina in the Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM missed scoring a point by only 0.410 seconds. Edoardo Mortara received drive-through penalty for failing to sufficiently reduce speed under yellow flags.
