Is this the DTM's next big star?
Mike Rockenfeller took his maiden DTM win at Zandvoort last Sunday, but the real star of the weekend was somebody else, as Jamie O'Leary explains
Sorry to disappoint all you touring car fans out there, but the star performance from the DTM weekend at Zandvoort came not from Mike Rockenfeller, Martin Tomczyk or Edoardo Mortara, or indeed from any of the drivers competing in the showpiece event at the Dutch circuit.
Instead it came from a man who could have been in one of the older-spec Audi A4s this year, had his test in such machinery gone the right way, but who instead is proving that he is far too good for the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany.
