DTM Hockenheim 2011

Gallery after the jump!

The DTM is back for 2011. It has been a long winter for us waiting for the return of DTM. To some, it is not the best series going but to us, we love it. With the return of BMW in 2012 maybe we will see a bit more door to door banging and curb hopping action. Until then heres to 2011!

This morning Audi’s Mike Rockenfeller topped the charts with a 1:35.085. The next 8 drivers would also stay in the 1:35 bracket. That’s going to provide for some great action.

2-time Champion, Timo Scheider pulled up in 2nd with a 1:35.529

Red Bull’s Mattis Ekstrom was third with a 1:35.697

Audi DTM newcomer, Edoardo Mortara, was 4th with a 1:35.732 in the 2008 spec A4.
