Was the criticism of the Lamborghini Temerario GT3 premature? After the catastrophic start in Spielberg, where the Lamborghini drivers languished at the back of the pack, Abt driver Luca Engstler managed an eighth and a sixth place at Zandvoort. "It can't be such a handful if we're on the second row," Lamborghini factory driver Engstler defended his car on Sunday at ran.de after a strong third place on the grid.
But what role did the DTM additional homologation play in this upward trend, which allowed the Lamborghini teams for the first time to run with a rear wing configuration not homologated by the FIA? "It's a combination of things, but of course the rear wing helps us," clarified team principal Gottfried Grasser.
