Bruno Spengler takes his third victory this season, and the third win for his team BMW, in the 8th round of the DTM championship presented at Oschersleben.
The Canadian driver, who set the pole position, stayed in front from lights to flag, excepted during his pit stops, holding the pressure from championship leader Gary Paffett (Mercedes), who was right in his mirrors during the race.
Paffett takes second place behind Jamie Green (Mercedes), who lost second position in championship classification behind Spengler, but stays in good position in classification.
Robert Wickens, the other Canadian in the DTM, takes 7th position aboard his Mercedes C Coupé.
Gary Paffett still leads championship classification, but Bruno Spengler now stands 11 points behind the Brit with two races remaining.
