Drama in the final DTM qualifying at Hockenheim - and once again the weather plays the leading role: sudden rain throws the teams' strategies into disarray. Pole goes to a Porsche driver, but not DTM leader Thomas Preining: Land Porsche rookie Bastian Buus secures the best starting position in 1:36.923 ahead of Manthey brand colleague Ricardo Feller, who was just six thousandths short.
"Honestly, I didn't expect it," the Porsche youngster from Denmark tells ran.de, surprised after his first DTM pole. "It has been a season full of highs and lows - and it is fantastic that we have now finally put everything together and set the car up in the optimum window for the final qualifying."
