DTM title decision in Sunday’s qualifying before the last race of the season in Hockenheim: “Grello” Porsche driver Thomas Preining secured pole position in 1:36.800, thereby destroying the title hopes of SSR Lamborghini driver Mirko Bortolotti, who had previously finished in 1:36.800. 36,806 and is starting the race from second place.
This means the Austrian has a 28-point lead in the championship – and a maximum of 25 points are up for grabs in the race.
Preining is the first Austrian DTM champion and also secured the first Porsche title in the traditional series.
Manthey EMA secured the team championship title on Saturday with a double success.
