Jamie Green surprised pole sitter Bruno Spengler right at the start to take the lead but he was never able to enlarge the gap over his Mercedes teammate.

It was Green's second victory of the DTM season.

All during the course of the race, Spengler, Mattias Ekstrom and Timo Scheider were not far behind and in the closing stages of the race the pressure mounted.

In the end, Canadian Bruno Spengler had to settle for second ahead of Scheider, who grabbed third from Ekstrom on the final corner of the last lap as the Swede locked up under braking.
