The brand with the four rings dominated proceedings in Saturday’s second free practice at Spielberg. At the Red Bull Ring, four Audi drivers came out on top. With a time of 1m22.137s, Jamie Green was fastest, followed by René Rast (1m22.178s), Mattias Ekström (1m22.249s) and Mike Rockenfeller (1m22.321s). “The car was very good to drive, I have no complaints. Now we have to get  a perfect lap in during qualifying,” DTM points’ leader Mattias Ekström showed himself happy.

Edoardo Mortara was the best-placed Mercedes-AMG driver in fifth with a time of 1m22.393s from local hero Lucas Auer (1m22.425s). None of the BMW drivers managed to make it into the top ten, defending champion Marco Wittmann was the best of them in eleventh place. However, with his time of 1m22.847s, he was already 0.710 seconds down on Green.

After Friday, Green again was the fastest driver in the field on Saturday morning. “The start of free practice was delayed due to the fog. It was cold. The car handled well, I was happy with the balance. Now, I am concentrating on qualifying,” Green said. In the DTM drivers’ standings, he is fifth with 113 points.
