DTM - Race 2 - Norisring: Müller and Frijns score for Audi

With two Audi RS 5 #dtm in the points, Audi recorded a stronger result in Sunday’s #dtm race at the #norisring than the day before. #nicomuller and #robinfrijns clinched seventh and eighth respectively for Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline. Defending #dtm Champion René Rast suffered a bout of bad luck.

With an even more impressive crowd of spectators looking on than on Saturday, the #dtm provided spectacular motorsport featuring exciting battles, many overtaking maneuvers and a close finish on the street circuit in Nuremberg. One of the main protagonists in the race was #nicomuller. Starting the race as best Audi driver in eleventh position, the Swiss made up several positions immediately. After an early pit stop to change tires, Müller held his ground amidst a fiercely battling group of BMW and Mercedes-Benz drivers and ultimately crossed the finish line in seventh place.

“That was a tough race,” said #nicomuller. “We really struggled on this track, but we scored some important points, which is small reward for the hard work. The team did a great job throughout the entire weekend. We were a little unlucky on Saturday otherwise we would have scored points as well. Now I’m looking forward to Zandvoort. I hope that we’ll be a little more competitive again there.”
