Does the McLaren team Dorr Motorsport owe its first DTM victory to none other than the stranded Timo Glock? The former Formula 1 pilot parked his McLaren on the track during the Saturday race at the Lausitzring in lap eleven due to a technical defect, which led to a controversial Full-Course-Yellow phase. This gave Glock's teammate Ben Dorr a decisive advantage - and later the win.
Ben Dorr, who gambled on slicks despite the rain after starting from tenth on the grid, was in ninth place before the pit stops - 6.6 seconds behind leader Nicki Thiim, who had also opted for slicks. And the McLaren team's next gamble was also about to pay off.
