Winward Mercedes driver Maro Engel secured victory in the final race of the 2026 DTM season as Thomas Preining secured his second championship by finishing third.
"It was a horror day today, especially with the late race, having to wait three hours longer," Preining told ProSieben. "Not exactly pleasant when you can basically only lose." The goal had been "to drive a clean race, without contact, and we managed that. I'm really proud of my team."
