Timo Scheider took his second win of the DTM season today at Brands Hatch after enduring continual attacks from AMG Mercedes driver Paul di Resta.
Although the Audi driver had sometimes created a gap of more than two seconds, things got a little bit more closer at the end of the race.
Current champion Mattias Ekstrom came in third in his Audi but he came close as his speed proove to be faster than the leaders in the last part of the race.
Jamie Green had to settle for fourth just in front of Martin Tomczyk who completed the top five for Audi, after passing Bruno Spengler around the outside at Paddock Hill Bend.
Spengler brought his ill-sounding Mercedes home in sixth after running further up early on, while Tom Kristensen chased the Canadian home to take seventh after starting down in 12th.
