Porsche already knows what it’s like to win in the DTM. In a crazy, chaotic and even embarrassing race due to the maneuvers of some pilots, Thomas Preining has achieved victory ahead of Dennis Olsen and Ren\u00e9 Rast<\/strong>. Of the 27 riders who started the race, only 11 have seen the finish line after a first round at the Norisring that has had three Safety Cars, a ‘Full Course Yellow’ period and more incidents than necessary and expected<\/strong>. The series tightens with the podium of Ren\u00e9 Rast.<\/p>\n

Kelvin Van der Linde managed to cross the first corner in the lead<\/strong> ahead of Thomas Preining and Ayhancan G\u00fcven, all of them oblivious to the ‘mele’ that was produced behind<\/strong>yes Franck Perera touched Arjun Maini, forming a veritable pile of cars that touched each other or had to stop so as not to hit the rest. Dennis Olsen took advantage of the situation by placing sixth, just behind Lucas Auer and Ren\u00e9 Rast. The leader Sheldon Van der Linde, Nico M\u00fcller, Marco Wittmann, Maximilian Buhk and David Schumacher, as well as Arjun Maini himself, were out of the race<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Safety Car made an appearance<\/strong>. at the exit, Thomas Preining managed to overtake Kelvin Van der Linde<\/strong> that in the original start he could not achieve after slightly overbraking. Ren\u00e9 Rast also gained ground and placed third<\/strong>, followed by Dennis Olsen after both beat Ayhancan Guv\u00ebn. Behind, Mirko Bortolotti moved up to fourteenth after gaining several positions on the restart and overtaking Marius Zug next. With everything, the incidents did not allow to take flight to the race<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alessio Deledda hit Esteban Muth hard, who in turn got ahead of Franck Perera<\/strong> in the first corner. A period of ‘Full Course Yellow’ was established that gave rise to the entire grid to make its mandatory pit stop. Nevertheless, Kelvin Van der Linde’s stop was not the best and Ren\u00e9 Rast returned to the track as the new leader<\/strong> ahead of Thomas Preining, even if his save was even worse than Van der Linde’s. Corrected the pit problem on the Preining start when overtaking Ren\u00e9 Rast<\/strong>. For his part, Dennis Olsen was placed third.<\/p>\n

History was repeating itself, in an infinite loop. Mirko Bortolotti played Maro Engel’s #88 Mercedes<\/strong> and the German’s GT3 violently hit the barriers, causing the appearance of the Safety Car. And without exception, at the exit there were several incidents again<\/strong>. Thomas Preining retained the lead ahead of a Dennis Olsen who managed to overtake Ren\u00e9 Rast, contact between the two included. Ayhancan G\u00fcven hit Lucas Auer with some violence<\/strong>while Mirko Bortolotti pushed Kelvin Van der Linde. The third Safety Car was a reality and the new highlight, finally calm, returned Ren\u00e9 Rast to second place<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
