Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline driver Nico Müller set the fastest lap time of the second free practice session at the Nürburgring Grand Prix circuit, host of the fifth DTM round of 2020. The Swiss led team-mate Robin Frijns, with Audi taking the first four positions.

Müller set a best lap time of 1:47.543, improving by over half a second from the first free practice session lap times. Frijns was second, just 0.017 seconds behind.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg driver René Rast was third, two-tenths off the pace, followed by Team Phoenix’s Loïc Duval, three-tenths from P1.

Wittmann was the best non-Audi driver in fifth position for BMW, 0.326 seconds behind Müller, with Team Rosberg’s Jamie Green next. Team RMR’s Lucas Auer finished seventh, followed by local hero Mike Rockenfeller.

WRT’s Ferdinand Habsburg and Team RMG’s Timo Glock completed the top ten, with the BMW driver six-tenths from the top spot.

The DTM field returns to the track on Saturday morning for qualifying at 10:35 CEST.
