Seldom has a brand been as dominant on a DTM weekend as this time: 60,000 spectators witnessed an impressive showing by the Audi RS 5 DTM at the Lausitzring. The one-two-three-four win on Saturday evening was followed by an even greater Audi triumph in positions one to five on Sunday afternoon.
The Audi show at the Lausitzring was led by Jamie Green. The Briton from Audi Sport Team Rosberg in the Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 DTM repeated his commanding success from the day before, which makes him the first double winner in the 2015 season. In the early stage, Green prevailed in a direct duel with his brand colleague Mattias Ekström in the Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM of Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline. After having dropped from first to second place at the start, he managed the decisive overtaking maneuver on lap eight. Afterwards, he was able to achieve a small advantage and immediately pulled clear again following a caution period shortly before the end of the race.
“The race today was harder than yesterday,” Green said after scoring his third victory of the season. “Mattias (Ekström) was fast and my advantage was never really large. Obviously, having won both races here is mega.” Mattias Ekström clinched a similarly uncontested second place and is now trailing Jamie Green in second place of the overall standings.
Miguel Molina in the Teufel Audi RS 5 DTM in third place notched up his first podium result of the season. On Sunday, the Spaniard fought a duel with Timo Scheider in the AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM of Audi Sport Team Phoenix nearly throughout the entire race, which Molina decided in his favor by a narrow margin.
