The results of the DTM round held at Zandvoort, Netherlands, on 19th July will remain provisional until 31st July. In the meantime, German sport authority DMSB has checked the data recordings of Audi drivers Mattias Ekström, Oliver Jarvis and Alexandre Prémat and will offer the teams and drivers involved the chance of commenting on the gathered data on the day prior to the race at Oschersleben. Due to the appearance of doubts regarding the regular course of several overtaking manoeuvres in the closing stages of the race, the stewards opted for suspending the official result and having all the relevant data analysed extensively. The reason for the examination is the accusation of team order that is forbidden according to paragraph 20.2 of the DTM regulations. Team orders have been banned in the DTM since the end of the 2007 season. To find out the truth, the DTM experts checked data such as speed, acceleration, deceleration and the radio communication with the drivers involved as well as the TV pictures and lap times. Audi raised suspicions by reportedly blocking its team radio communication to German broadcaster ARD for the final 10 laps of the race. Photos: René Fagnan - Auto123.com
