Audi Wins DTM Round at Zandvoort

Commanding performance by Le Mans record winner
- Martin Tomczyk on podium again
- Timo Scheider best driver of a 2005-spec car

78,500 spectators at Zandvoort (the Netherlands) witnessed another captivating DTM weekend and a commanding victory by Tom Kristensen in the Siemens Audi A4 DTM. The Dane from Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline performed a perfect start to take the lead, which he relinquished for merely one lap after his first tyre change. Martin Tomczyk finished third to complete Audi’s exploit on the Dutch North Sea coast.

Clinching his second victory of the season, Tom Kristensen reduced his gap to the current DTM leader, Bernd Schneider, to ten points. Claiming his second consecutive podium finish, Martin Tomczyk advanced to position four of the standings. With Heinz-Harald Frentzen finishing in fifth place, and Timo Scheider (Audi Sport Team Rosberg) as the best driver of a car from last year in sixth, two further Audi drivers scored points at Zandvoort.

You can't see DTM in the states on any channel currently. Speed might show some during the winter. You can catch ALMS (where the R10 competes) on Speed. Next race is on September 30.
