MTEK BMW’s Marco Wittmann has claimed the fastest time in practice for tomorrow’s DTM race at Brands Hatch.

The BMW driver saw off stablemate Dirk Werner’s quickest time early in the session, and usurped Martin Tomczyk’s, who was the fastest BMW driver at around the half way point of the 90 minute session.

As the track temperatures increased, the Audis of Mike Rockenfeller and Timo Scheider set the fastest times, but were once again beaten by Wittmann’s time of 41.378 seconds in the session’s closing stages.

Mercedes endured a difficult time, with local driver Gary Paffett finishing the best of the Stuttgart cars. Audi’s Jamie Green also had a tough session and ended the morning in 12th.

Canadians Bruno Spengler and Robert Wickens finished fourth and 18th.
