Race 2: Muller takes it

Pole man Rickard Rydell lost out on the first lap to Garcia, and was then subjected to pressure from Jorg Muller who moved up to second on lap 2. Race one winner Andy Priaulx held fourth.

Series leader Priaulx posted his first retirement of the year on lap 6, when leak sent fluids onto his hot brake disks, ending his race.

Muller quickly piled the pressure on Garcia who is still chasing his first ETCC win. On lap 9, he made a pass stick, with Dirk Muller following him through to start four laps of dicing that showed just how competitive the series is.

On the final lap, the top three were three wide into the hairpin, Jorg Muller keeping his lead, and Garcia keeping his second place despite wheel-banging with Dirk Muller most of the way back to the flag.

Jorg Muller's win takes him to the top of the championship standings, with the next two rounds at Brno in the Czech Republicc in two weeks' time.
