Mattias Ekström (Audi) wins the individual trophy presented in Munich's Olympic stadium, after he defeated Jamie Green's Mercedes in final.

To reach the final, the Swede took down Joey Hand (BMW), Martin Tomczyk (BMW), and then Gary Paffett (Mercedes).

Jamie Green (Mercedes), the other finalist, who had won the team trophy on Saturday alongside teammate Ralf Schumacher, defeated Filipe Albuquerque (Audi), Mike Rockenfeller (Audi) and Bruno Spengler (BMW).

It was a disappointing day for Spengler, who was dominated in the first part of the semi-final, then back in the lead after his team BMW did a better tire change, but eventually out anyway.

The Canadian driver lost time when he went a bit wide in the antepenultimate lap (out of five), which allowed Green to take the lead back, and eventually win to reach the final.

Robert Wickens (Mercedes), the other Canadian on track in Munich, defeated Timo Scheider's Audi in the first round, but lost in the next round against Tomczyk.
