DTM 2019 needs its own 'push him out'
OPINION: The 2019 DTM title fight looked like it would be a thrilling four-way battle for the crown. But that has boiled down to a two-horse race between Audi drivers Rene Rast and Nico Muller, which means the marque must now let them off the leash
Audi heads to the Lausitzring this weekend knowing that if it outscores BMW by 20 points over the course of the event, it will win the 2019 DTM manufacturers' crown with two rounds still to go.
