Grasser Lamborghini driver Luca Engstler scored an unlikely win in the second DTM race at Oschersleben after a botched pitstop for long-time leader Mirko Bortolotti.
Engstler had been running a steady third behind polesitter Bortolotti and Mercedes rival Luca Stolz in the first part of the race, but an impressive strategy call from Grasser to pull him into the pits just before a Full Course Yellow elevated him to the lead. Engstler's run to victory was made easier by an agonisingly slow pitstop for SSR Performance driver Bortolotti, a problem which also forced team-mate Nicki Thiim out of the race.
This left Engslter and Engel to duel it out for victory, with the two running nose to tail in the final laps of the race. Engstler eventually held on by just 0.300s to take his maiden victory in the DTM, while HRT duo Stolz and Arjun Maini finished third and fourth behind the sister Mercedes of Engel.
