After a 20 year absence, it took BMW just two rounds to return to the top step on the DTM podium. Bruno Spengler completed a near flawless display in his M3 to claim victory in Round 2 and register BMW’s 50th win in the category.
Mercedes driver Gary Paffett followed his win in Round 1 with a second place at the Lausitzring. In third was Augsto Farfus for BMW. The highest placed Audi driver was Matthias Ekström back in fifth.
Paffett leads the race for DTM Champion on 43 points, ahead of Mercedes teammate Jamie Green (30) and Bruno Spengler (25). Thanks to Paffett’s good early season form Mercedes heads the Manufacturers’ championship (96) from BMW (54) and Audi (52).
The DTM field heads to Brands Hatch in England next weekend for Round 3.
