DTM Lausitz: Gary Paffett wins race two, Glock keeps points lead

Starting from third on the grid, Paffett made the most of a botched move by his team-mate Pascal Wehrlein at Turn 1 on polesitter Philipp Eng, diving up the inside of Wehrlein as Eng had pushed him wide.

By lap four of 33 Paffett was into the lead and past Eng, as the rookie's race pace didn't match his brilliant morning qualifying time.

Wehrlein was the second to pass, and then Marco Wittmann also made a move a short time later.

The only question remaining for Paffett was which tyre strategy would work best. He elected to pit early, and it looked to be the right choice after the stops had cycled through, with Wittmann jumping Wehrlein in the process.

But with three minutes remaining Wittmann had what looked like an unassailable lead down to 1.5s.

Paffett responded with a faster lap with three tours to go to extend the lead, which Wittmann closed down again next time around, but not enough to usurp Paffett, who took his second win of the season.

Wittmann scored his best result of the season so far with second, driving away from Wehrlein with relative ease after the stops.

An incredible race for Paul di Resta enabled the Scot to take fourth from 15th on the grid.

At the track where he scored his first series win in 2008, di Resta's early stop paid dividends.

Glock had to fight his way through the top 10 after a later pitstop than the likes of Paffett. He passed Eng, Jamie Green, Mike Rockenfeller and Joel Eriksson to secure fifth, enough to protect his points lead over Paffett.

Green had an equally impressive race as di Resta. With Audi struggling for race and qualifying pace, Green started 16th, and pitted on the first lap. He made his tyres last, and even passed Eng on the last lap with 33 lap-old tyres to score what felt like a victory for the Brit.

Eng can take solace in his best weekend in DTM so far, but will be disappointed with seventh from pole, as he struggled to make his BMW work in the race.

Mike Rockenfeller made it two Audis in the top 10 for the first time over the weekend in eighth, while Robin Frijns rounded out the top 10.

Sandwiched between them was Eriksson, who never lost his cool despite being harried by race one winner Edoardo Mortara at multiple points during the race.

Mortara twice had to hand back spots to Eriksson for pushing him off the track at Turn 1, and locked up and headed into the pitlane entry to avoid him at another point. Mortara could only fight back to 11th.
