DTM Zandvoort: Augusto Farfus leads BMW 1-2-3 in final practice

With its drivers having claimed just one podium from the opening six races, BMW had five drivers inside the top six during Friday practice, and was strong again on Saturday morning.

Farfus moved to the top with seven minutes remaining, and his 1m31.518s lap was half a second clear with four minutes to go.

Tom Blomqvist then went second fastest, 0.262 seconds behind, while Antonio Felix da Costa slotted into third place, having led the way briefly earlier in the session.

Championship leader Jamie Green was fourth, on an identical time to da Costa, and joined inside the top 10 by Audi stablemates Miguel Molina in seventh, Timo Scheider in eighth and Adrien Tambay in 10th.

Tambay spent the best part of 10 minutes at the top of the times before Farfus lodged his lap.

Mercedes drivers Paul di Resta and Lucas Auer were fifth and sixth, with Auer having also enjoyed a stint in first place, and Gary Paffett was ninth.

It was another quiet session for Norisring winners Pascal Wehrlein and Robert Wickens, the pair 19th and 23rd.

In warm conditions at the Dutch circuit, a fraction over two tenths covered da Costa in third and Friday pacesetter Mike Rockenfeller in 14th.
