Audi's Markus Winklehock set the fastest lap of the first DTM test of the season at Mugello this week. The German set his best time on the final afternoon of the three-day test, beating Jamie Green's Mercedes by 0.166 seconds.
Paul Di Resta was third overall for Mercedes, but Audi was the stronger car over the three days, despite Tom Kristensen and Mike Rockenfeller leaving the test on the second morning to head to Sebring to contest the ALMS opener for Audi.
Christijan Albers made his series comeback, testing a 2006-spec Audi for Colin Kolles' Team Futurecom.
There was a huge difference between the quickest and slowest times across the three days at Mugello, but several drivers didn't complete a lap on the final day when conditions were much faster than earlier in the week.
