Canadian Bruno Spengler will start the Lausitzring round of the DTM from 5th place.

Spengler, from team Mercedes-Benz, climbed from 6th to 5th after Gary Paffett was penalised 5 spots on the grid for having been found responsible of the accident involving Audi driver Alexandre Prémat in Round 1 held at Hockenheim two weeks ago.

In the warm-up Sunday morning, Spengler set the 3rd fastest time, just one tenth of a second behind Tom Kristensen (Audi) and teammate Jamie Green.
