I had the pleasure of meeting a true legend last weekend at Lausitzring: Harald Grohs, who won the very first DTM race in history back in 1984 aboard the BMW 635 CSi. Such a worthy moment to catch up on the grid ahead of our series' milestone 500th race.

Today I would like to wish Gerhard Berger, our head of the DTM, all the best on his special 60th birthday. What he has done for the DTM and the championship is incredible. He does a tremendous amount to establish the DTM as one of the most successful race series in the world. I am very happy and incredibly proud to be part of this family.

Congratulations, boss!

DTM | Lausitzring | Race 1

Joel has finished the opening DTM race of the Lausitzring weekend in eighth place, returning to the points-paying positions following two lacklustre championship rounds at Assen and Brands Hatch.

Joel started the race from tenth on the grid, but used a strong start to gain one position on the opening lap.

After pitting on lap 17, exactly halfway through, Joel spent the final half of the race chasing down WRT Audi driver Pietro Fittipaldi in a battle for seventh place, putting the Brazilian F1 development driver under pressure but ultimately not able to make it past.

P8 still marked a solid result as Joel finally bounced back into the points, taking the chequered flag as the third best BMW driver in the process.

Nico Müller, Robin Frijns and Mike Rockenfeller sealed a 1-2-3 for Audi.

The field regroups at Lausitzring on Sunday for the big highlight of the weekend: the 500th race in DTM history. ... See more
