Nick Cassidy was surprised how hard Rene Rast defended against him and felt lucky he avoided any terminal damage in their collision at Spa. DTM
Having lost the lead at the start to Schubert BMW’s Sheldon van der Linde, three-time DTM champion Rast soon started coming under pressure from Cassidy’s Red Bull Ferrari in the opening stint of the race.
The incident meant Rast was able to hold on to position at La Source, but Cassidy quickly switched to the other side of the track on the following straight and was finally able to complete the move into Les Combes en route to a madien victory in the DTM.. “I thought I was going to get him there and he kind of went straight through and we went side-by-side into Les Combes as well. So quite surprised with how hard he was racing today but it made for a good show.”Rast had been quite vocal about poor driving standards in DTM recently, calling for stricter action from stewards in case of on-track collisions at the Nurburgring.
The factory Audi driver, however, was not able to serve the penalty after retiring from the race with an abrupt front-left puncture and will now take a three-place hit on the grid in Austria in lieu of the original sanction.“We touched slightly before Turn 1, but that is always so difficult to assess from the car where the opponent is directly next to you," he told"But in the end the penalty is justified. We had a very tough but mostly fair fight.
