Spengler: “Great feeling to win after three years”

Three years had passed since Bruno Spengler last won a Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters race. At Lausitzring last weekend the Canadian finally stepped on top of the podium.
“It’s a great feeling to finally win again after three years. Already on the final lap I had goose bumps and now I am only happy,” said Spengler.

“I thank my team for a perfect car, perfect pit stops and a perfect strategy. The victory is also a birthday present for my girlfriend Franziska,” said Spengler.

At first it looked as if Spengler had to wait longer as his Mercedes colleague Paul Di Resta was controlling the race in the lead.

But the Brit was stuck in the pits during one of his stops due to problems with a rear wheel. This enabled Spengler to get in to a lead he never lost.

“I had everything under control and was in an easy lead. However, during my second pit stop I lost a lot of time and I dropped to second place. After pole position and such a good race, this is really disappointing. ,” said Di Resta.
