The DTM drivers, including Canadian Bruno Spengler, had a chance to discover their new mounts more than a month prior to the opening round of the 2014 season.
The test is held at the Hungaroring, near Budapest, Hungary.
In sunny conditions, Miguel Molina proved to be the quickest. With his Audi RS 5 DTM, he crossed the line in 1m37.792 minutes, thus being the only driver to break the 1m38-minute barrier.
Behind the Spaniard, his fellow Audi drivers Jamie Green (the quickest in the morning session), Adrien Tambay and reigning champion Mike Rockenfeller finished second, third and fourth respectively.
Bruno Spengler set the fastest lap time of the BMW drivers, followed by the two newcomers Maxim Martin and Antonio Felix da Costa.
The busiest driver on Monday was Spengler. The Canadian completed 109 laps, representing a total mileage of 477.529 kilometres.
“Up to the early end of the tests, things went rather well for us. We could complete 109 laps without encountering any problems - that's a solid result,” said Spengler who drives the new BMW M4.
“We definitely are on the way in the right direction. I truly enjoyed being back in the car - particularly at this great circuit. It offers absolutely everything and the mix of corners is very interesting. As driver, you have to work at the wheel all the time. When you're back working closely together with the team, after the off-season, you quickly get back in the racing mode. And that's just great.”
