DTM Norisring: Thiim takes second victory and DTM championship lead

Nicki Thiim enjoyed a perfect weekend at the Norisring in Nuremberg: After the Dane claimed Aston Martin's first-ever DTM victory on Saturday, he followed it up on Sunday. Starting from pole position, the Comtoyou driver controlled the second race as well and secured another triumph.

"I'm incredibly proud," Thiim says happily on ProSieben, as he also leads the overall standings. "That was always the dream, to have the name back at the top. I think the last time was in 1992 or something. That was the dream as a child." Father Kurt Thiim was runner-up in the DTM back then, after even winning the title in the 1986 season.
