DTM: Two men. Two races. One title
This year's DTM has boiled down to a straight fight between Audi's Timo Scheider and Mercedes' Paul Di Resta. Glenn Freeman weighs up their chances ahead of the penultimate round this weekend, where Scheider could wrap it up
The DTM championship fight has simmered until now, but after Barcelona it is well and truly on heading into the penultimate round. A title showdown with two races to go may sound a little odd, but Le Mans this weekend could prove to the most important race of the season.
Why? Because a good result for long-time championship leader Timo Scheider could seal the crown for the German, who slaved away in the series for more than 70 races before his maiden success earlier this year.
