DTM champion in 2005, Gary Paffett finished first in a calm race. The Safety Car remained parked in the pits and no incident took place, unlike the Saturday race, marked by the impressive crash of René Rast (Audi). The title holder was also withdrawn this Sunday, his car being destroyed and the doctors not having given their approval.
Starting from pole, Philipp Eng (BMW) fell in the standings to finish seventh. The interests of the Bavarian manufacturer were defended by Mark Wittman, second. Back in 2018 after his period Formula 1, pascal wehrlein (Mercedes) gets a podium (3rd).
The first Audi is only sixth, led by Briton Jamie Green. French Loïc duval (Audi) narrowly missed the points and finished 13th.
