DTM: One-two-three-four win for Audi at the N�rburgring
Audi driver Martin Tomczyk commandingly secured his first victory of the season at the N�rburgring in the sixth DTM round of the year. The Bavarian who had started to the race from the pole position relies on a clutch from ZF Sachs Race Engineering in his A4 DTM. Places two and three on the podium were clinched by his brand colleagues Timo Scheider and Mattias Ekstr�m. Last year痴 champion Scheider also took the lead of the DTM standings with a total score of 35 points, Ekstr�m is the overall runner-up with just a one-point gap. Markus Winkelhock in fourth place completed the Audi triumph in the Eifel. The Swabian, at the wheel of a vehicle fitted with a ZF Sachs clutch like all Audi drivers, was thus the most successful driver of a year-old car. As the best Mercedes-Benz driver, Jamie Green saw the chequered flag in fifth place. The Briton痴 AMG Mercedes C-Class is also fitted with a clutch from Schweinfurt.
