Schumacher fastest in DTM test
Ralf Schumacher set the fastest time of all four days of the DTM's pre-season test at Valencia on the final day of running on Saturday
The HWA Mercedes driver was narrowly ahead of Audi rookie Miguel Molina, who nearly repeated his pace-setting performance from day three.
Alexandre Premat ended the day third after being fastest in the morning, while Oliver Jarvis was next up as he continued to adapt to driving a 2009-spec car for Abt Sportsline.
Maro Engel finished the last day with the fifth-fastest time in his 2008-spec Mercedes, ahead of Audi's Martin Tomczyk and the second 08-C-class of Jamie Green.
After narrowly edging Schumacher on the first three days, Bruno Spengler was unable to match his HWA team-mate on Saturday and could only manage eighth place.
Seven tenths of a second covered the top nine cars as Katherine Legge was next up, while Franky Cheng brought up the rear in his 2008 Mercedes.
