Ekström gets the Pole on the wet.

#5 Mattias Ekström, Audi RS5 DTM

The second quali of this weekend in Austria has been started with outputs track from several drivers as a consequence of the state of the track, because the rain this morning left the track very wet.

Spengler started opening the track with half the drivers on his back, but the other half of the participants have been coming out slowly, and in 3 minutes there were all on the track. After the first 5 minutes has begun to form rail. Those who didn’t follow good the traced, had smalls excursions to the gravel and the grass. Only few drivers haven’t suffered any out-track.

Also noteworthy is the bad performance of BMW: the highest position of this brand that could get has been the one from Tomzcyk, classified in P14. Moreover, Adrien Tambay has been back in the TOP 10 again. It hasn’t gone so well for Catalan drivers because Juncadella could only be thirteenth, and Molina can’t do more than a nineteenth position. Despite the track conditions, Ekström and Rockenfeller have fought throughout all the session to set the fastest time, but finally the Swedish driver has been able to make an almost perfect lap to adjudge the Pole Position of today.
