Spengler scores pole at Norisring

The Nuremberg street circuit seems to suit Bruno Spengler: after 2007, the Franco-Canadian secured himself the best starting grid position for the season highlight of the DTM for the second time in a row. With his AMG Mercedes C-Class, he claimed pole position for the fifth season round in a convincing way. With a fastest lap time of 47.785 seconds, he outpaced his team-mates Jamie Green and Paul di Resta, who were second and third respectively.

For Spengler, it is the sixth pole of his DTM career. In 2006, Spengler celebrated his maiden victory in the most popular international touring car series at the Norisring.

DTM points' leader, Timo Scheider was the fastest driver with an Audi A4 DTM in fourth place. The following drivers: Martin Tomczyk, Tom Kristensen (both Audi), Bernd Schneider (Mercedes-Benz) and reigning DTM champion, Mattias Ekström (Audi).

At the Norisring, Ralf Schumacher scored his best DTM qualifying result to date. The Mercedes-Benz driver made it into the second qualifying heat without any problems and set the eleventh fastest time. An extensive press release with quotes from the drivers and motorsport directors will follow shortly.
