DTM Lausitzring: Jamie Green best Audi driver in sixth place thanks to tire gamble

Jamie Green from Audi Sport Team Rosberg was the best Audi driver in Sunday’s #dtm race at the Lausitzring. A tire gamble took the Briton through the field from 16th on the grid to sixth place. Mike Rockenfeller (Audi Sport Team Phoenix/8th) and #robinfrijns (Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline/10th) also scored points.

Green changed tires on the first lap already and with this strategy was able to drive most of the time alone and out of traffic. In the process, the Briton preserved his tires to such an extent that he could still overtake BMW driver Philipp Eng on the last lap and, in doing so, claim his first points of the season – just reward for the Audi Sport Team Rosberg mechanics who had a huge amount of work to repair the Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 #dtm after Green’s start line accident on Saturday. “I had to drive 33 laps on one set of tires, but my car was good and consistent,” said Green. “The tires didn’t deteriorate because the balance of my car was good.”
