One-time Formula 1 race starter Jack Aitken clinched his maiden DTM win at the Lausitzring on Saturday, as a penalty wrecked the race of championship leader Thomas Preining.
Emil Frey Ferrari driver Aitken led nearly the entire race from pole position, save for the pitstop phase, beating the SSR Performance Lamborghini of Mirko Bortolotti by 2.3s after one hour of racing at the 4.35km circuit. Kelvin van der Linde finished third for Abt Audi, making it three different manufacturers on the podium.
The contact left Engstler's Audi beached in the gravel, prompting the deployment of the safety car, while Perera also suffered terminal damage that forced him to pit to retire his Lamborghini from the race. Aitken waited until the third lap of the pit window to complete his mandatory pitstop, which allowed Bortolotti to undercut him, but the British driver was able to repass the Lamborghini on his outlap to reinstate the status quo.
Although Bortolotti was no match to Aitken, the runner-up result moved him up to second in the championship on a day points leader Preining finished down in 15th place.
