Lamborghini's Mirko Bortolotti scores his first DTM win at the Nurburgring, as the likes of Rene Rast and Jack Aitken lose out by gambling on wet tyres. Full report and results:
SSR Performance’s Bortolotti was unchallenged in the hour-long opening contest at the former German Grand Prix venue, resisting two safety cars and a brief bout of rain to take the chequered flag by 1.1s over Winward Mercedes’ Lucas Auer. Championship leader Thomas Preining completed the podium spots in third.
At the front, Bortolotti started extending his advantage in the Lamborghini Huracan, pulling out a 4s lead by the time the pit window opened after 20 minutes of racing. Both cars were seriously damaged in the collision as they came to a rest in the gravel run-off, necessitating a safety car intervention.
The second SC period ended with just 13 minutes left on the clock, with Borlolotti perfecting the restart to lead into Turn 1 as Preining came under pressure from Auer, who had already cleared Feller using the straightline speed of his Mercedes.
