2013 DTM Season

[Dino Paolini]

I'm happy for Timo Scheider to be back on top! Hopefuly he can do that again in the race. I also see a chance for Farfus and Ekström to fight for the win tommorow. Also a great performance by Werthlein and Juncadella on their first qualy.

It seems to become a dry race tommorow btw

p.s: I think I've heard directly from Ralf Schumacher that the new Merecedes Juniors are simply doing a better job then him in the cars and that's why he moved to management so early.
A Schumacher admitting that others are simply faster than him; I should have recorded that for eternity

Will be interesting to see the DRS and option tires as well as the new pit window.

I had no issue with the stream other than that problem for the first few minutes. Once that was cleared up the stream didn't suffer any drops in ping, or anything of that matter.

As far as some countries not being able to view the channel, it comes down to licencing agreements, DTM can't go around breaking copyright or any other legal agreement.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Brilliant race! Had no idea how things was going to end until after all the pit stops were done.
I thought Mercedes was going to clean sweep the whole thing for a while there.

And the best thing of all, Ralf is gone, no more stupid car crashes or mayhems.
That dude was a liability on track.

hmm, they just said on the stream Vietoris according to the computer might not have used the soft compound. Hopefully it´s just the computer messing about.

Enjoyed the race very much so. Mercs almost looked as if they would of ran away with the race, none the less entertaining race.

Poor Glock, things went pretty well till someone forgot to tighten his damn wheel nuts. Was salvaging his poor qaulifying up until that.

Well done Tomczyk!!

3 BMW´s in the top 4 is pretty impressive.
Hopefully it´s a flag to flag win tomorrow.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

[Ketnix]

Just watching qauli at the moment, Mercs look quite poor here. BMW looking very strong.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Race time!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Pretty cool huh that Farfus Rockenfeller and other quickly do a DTM race, fly to Germany as fast as they can and continue with the 24 hours of Nurburgring.

Great athletes.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

yea pretty awesome for them to race all day!

-
Strong race by Rockenfeller, well done.
Also strong race by Paffett who had a great strategy.
Too bad for Farfus and Tomczyk, they really needed

Edit: and as i write this they say Paffett is 6th.
Still, can´t be too bummed about that.

[Hampus Andersson]

Another strong performance by BMW with three cars in the Top 4.

Race should be interesting to say the least.

 

[Dino Paolini]

I have a feeling that it will be not that hard for Spengler to win tommorow, but atleast behind that it should get awesome.
Expect Mortara to take a lot of risks, see last seasons race as reference

my prediction: 1) Spengler ; 2) Farfus; 3) Scheider

I hope for something different though, since I'm an Audi fan

And in about 10 minutes it´s showtime
