Wet conditions contributed to a thrilling DTM race at the Nurburgring, with Lamborghini junior Maximilian Paul taking a surprise win after passing Mercedes' Lucas Auer. Full report:
Mercedes star Auer had looked set to score a first victory of the 2023 season after taking the lead from polesitter Ricardo Feller on lap 7, but Grasser Racing driver Paul showed rapid speed after putting on a new set of wet tyres late in the race, snatching the top spot from his Winward rival with 15 minutes to run.
Feller then went on to establish a comfortable lead up front, with his slick tyres working perfectly on a track that was mostly dry, save for some damp patches at sector 1. One of the biggest gainers was Grasser driver Paul, who had been drafted in to replace Mick Wishofer on a one-off basis at the Lamborghini team.
After a duel that lasted for several laps, Paul was able to get his Lamborghini past Auer heading into the hairpin, moving into the lead for the first time of the race. Auer held on to third place ahead of the fellow Mercedes of Maro Engel, while championship leader Thomas Preining finished fifth in the Manthey EMA Porsche.
