Alexandre Prémat in success

Alexandre Prémat, although he was unable to inherit a 4 specification Audi A2009 for this season, has often repeated his confidence due to the evolution of the regulations. Thus, at the wheel of his 4 model Audi A2008, the Frenchman was able to shine in Valencia. First fourth, behind three very competitive drivers, the champion of Le Mans Series 2008 regained third place due to the exclusion of Martin Tomczyk, his team having failed in the management of the tires to be fitted. As a result, Alexandre Prémat reached the podium for the third time in DTM, after Zandvoort 2007 and Le Mans 2008.

« From start to finish it was a perfect race, rejoices the Frenchman. The start was superb. Then, a tough battle began with Gary Paffett. At the end of the first lap, I was sixth. Timo Scheider and Martin Tomcyk were going incredibly fast »

« During my second stint, I asked my team if I could make my second stop a little earlier than the others, continues Alexandre. It worked very well, I was able to overtake three cars in the maneuver. I am very happy with this team, which was perfect throughout the weekend. Scoring so many points is particularly nice after the Hockenheim weekend. »

With 6 points, Alexandre Prémat is currently tied for seventh in the DTM general classification. He will be able to approach the next race with confidence, held on June 6 at the EuroSpeedway in Lausitz, Germany.
