Abt Audi driver Kelvin van der Linde survived treacherous conditions to take his maiden victory of the 2024 season at the Lausitzring on Saturday.
Despite heavy rain prompting two red flag periods and leading to a start/stop race, van der Linde kept his calm to convert pole position into a dominant victory over the Mercedes of Maro Engel. Defending champion Thomas Preining ended up third in the Manthey EMA Porsche, making it three different manufacturers on the podium.
5s lead to celebrate his first DTM win since last year’s Red Bull Ring round. Engel finished another four seconds clear of Preining, who benefitted from a botched pitstop for Thiim that dropped the Dane to eighth at the finish. Engel’s team-mate Lucas Auer finished a solid fourth, having made up a number of places thanks to some rapid pitwork by the Winward crew, while Feller took fifth despite losing out a huge chunk of time in the initial round of pitstops.
