It is already his second pole of the year after Sunday in Spielberg – and the changed Balance of Performance probably played a role in this regard. Next to him is local hero Thierry Vermeulen, who missed out by 0.177 seconds and once again delivered a good result for the Ferrari team Emil Frey.
Luca Engstler caused a surprise: The Abt driver came in third place with a 0.340 second deficit and starts ahead of his Grasser teammate Mirko Bortolotti, making the new Temerario GT3, which benefits from a special regulation on the rear wing, appear in the front field of the DTM for the first time.

Sixth was Saturday winner Matteo Cairoli in the second Emil Frey Ferrari, in seventh place “Grello” ace Thomas Preining (+0.542) was the best Porsche driver. DTM leader Lucas Auer (+0.559) is the best Mercedes-AMG driver in eighth place.
