DTM: Di Resta wins at Barcelona
Mercedes-Benz driver Paul di Resta won the ninth DTM round at Barcelona. The Scot, whose AMG Mercedes C-Class is fitted with a clutch from ZF Sachs Race Engineering, overtook DTM leader Timo Scheider in the Audi A4 DTM on the 19th lap and afterwards safely clinched his second win of the season. Di Resta thus reduced his point gap to Scheider, who finished the race at the Circuit de Catalunya as the runner-up, to seven points with two races to go. Scheider as well as DTM veteran and pole sitter Bernd Schneider (Mercedes) in third place also used clutches from Schweinfurt in their vehicles. Points-finishes in places four to six were also scored by the Audi trio Martin Tomczyk, Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Pr�at. Jamie Green in his AMG Mercedes C-Class finished eighth after a time penalty due to a collision with Audi driver Mathias Ekstr� Platz, thus securing the last championship point.
