Ekström and Scheider in the fight

It is in Barcelona, ​​and not in Germany, that the turning point of the football season will perhaps occur. DTM. After Oschersleben and the Nürburgring, the series began its “tour” by going to Brands Hatch (Great Britain). Before going to Dijon-Prenois then finishing at Hockenheim, the DTM takes place this weekend in Barcelona, ​​where Paul di Resta won last season.

The Briton could be inspired to do it again, having won his first success of the year, at Brands Hatch, on his home soil. But the Catalunya circuit will above all be an opportunity to see the title contenders compete for the best places. The best placed at the moment are Timo Scheider and Mattias Ekström, with Gary Paffet hoping to return to the title race if he wins this weekend.

But it is above all between Mattias Ekström, author of five podiums in 2009, and Timo Scheider, very consistent for three races, that the final title will be contested. The German could gain a definitive advantage if he managed to open up a significant gap on his direct opponent. If the 2009 DTM champion will not be known at the end of this Spanish weekend, the positions will be clarified before the Dijon-Prenois race.
