Perfect end to 30 years of the #dtm as #garypaffett (Mercedes-AMG Motorsport PETRONAS) is crowned #dtm champion for the second time since 2005 in the 436th and final #dtm race for Mercedes-AMG Motorsport. The British driver took third place in the brand’s home race at #hockenheim, the very last round of the season, beating off stiff competition from Audi driver René Rast, who won the fixture. Gary’s third place, giving him his tenth podium finish of the season, his 13th at #hockenheim and the 48th of his #dtm career, was enough to win the championship with a four-point lead.
Gary has had a very consistent season, in which he not only won three races but also secured ten podiums, scoring points in all but three of the 20 races. He was also the best in qualifying this year with five pole positions and eight starts from the front row of the grid.
