Despite the fact that he had quite a difficult time in 2013 behind the wheel of his BMW Bank M3 DTM, Canadian driver Bruno Spengler remains the top performer in the history of the series.

Bruno Spengler holds sixth position for the greatest number of race wins, but he is the best in terms of victories-per-race contested.

Spengler's domination is well illustrated by the number of pole positions and fastest laps he has collected since his arrival in the DTM in 2005.

The Canadian clinched pole position every 5.8 races. He has also set the fastest lap every 6.6 races. Only Bernd Schneider scored better than Spengler with an average of one fastest lap every 3.7 races.
