Competing in his 44th DTM race, German driver Mike Rockenfeller scored his maiden victory, driving his Audi A4 to first place ahead of championship leader, Canadian Bruno Spengler of the Mercedes team.
The 27-year old Audi driver from Neuwied started from third place on the grid into the second round of the 2011 DTM season at Zandvoort, Netherlands.
He drove a faultless race with a perfect pit stop strategy and crossed the finish line as the winner after 41 laps.
“I am relieved. Hockenheim was very frustrating after a good qualifying and the poor race. Fortunately, we have found the problem and solved it. The result was a good qualifying and a great race. Today, the foundation was the start, plus two excellent stops and a good pace”, an overjoyed Rockenfeller said.
