Ekström and Scheider aiming for good Shanghai results

Audi-driver Mattias Ekström and Timo Scheider hopes to end the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters 2010 season on a high. Scheider, doing his last race as reigning champion, won the last race at Adria in Italy.
“The final race is a good motivator. It’s also great that before the finale we managed to clinch the victory we’d been hoping for so long,” said Scheider.

Both Audi-drivers are out of contention for the title race, but with an increasing performance curve, Scheider is hoping to score maximum points in China.

“Since the middle of the season our performances have stabilized. We were on pole twice in the second half of the season but didn’t win any races before Adria. Shanghai will be another heated battle. I’ll attack there again and will hopefully deliver a good final result,” said Scheider.

Ekström, who has only scored one point in the last two races, is cautious ahead of Shanghai race.

“I don’t know yet what we can expect in Shanghai. I only know the circuit from a map so far. I like street circuits and this one will be very narrow. So a lot will be predetermined in qualifying,” said Ekström.
