Double podium for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport as the #dtm makes its debut at the #misanoworldcircuit Marco Simoncelli
Double premiere for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport on Saturday evening as the #dtm debuts at #misanoworldcircuit Marco Simoncelli and #pauldiresta (Mercedes-AMG Motorsport REMUS) wins the first night race in #dtm history. This was his third win of the season and the ninth so far this year for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. Competing in his home race, local driver Edoardo Mortara (SILBERPFEIL Energy Mercedes-AMG Motorsport) in third place ensured a double podium for the team.
The team set a new record early on in qualifying by putting a Mercedes-AMG C 63 #dtm in pole position in this 13th race of the season for the eleventh time this year. No other brand has ever taken more poles in a single #dtm season than Mercedes-AMG. Until now, the record, set in the 1994 season, stood at ten poles (also achieved by the brand with the three-pointed star). In addition, for the ninth time in a row, a Mercedes-AMG Motorsport #dtm driver, #pauldiresta, started the race from pole, which is also a new record. At Misano, the Scot secured the team’s 137th #dtm pole and their 190th victory in its 30-year history of contesting the #dtm. After 13 races so far this season, Paul is the only driver in the field, who has taken points from every race apart from one.
