Well there you go, Paffett did all he could including winning the race, but still not enough on the scoreboard.

Wonderful scrap between Ekström and Paffett at the start of the race, best racing I've seen in the DTM for a long time.

Just a shame the DTM cars again prove to be... a tad fragile, to put it mildly.

Mildly is good if you saw how less of a contact it needed to break Ekströms cooler
