From press release
Audi's Miguel Molina snatched the last pole of the DTM season, Saturday in Hockenheim, with the manufacturers' title still up for grabs.
BMW currently leads Audi by 382 to 341 points. But Ingolstadt has good chances of flipping the order around, Molina's teammates Mattias Ekström and Edoardo Mortara having qualified second and third.
"I am overjoyed," said Molina.
"The entire team worked so hard in the past months. I hope that everything fits together during the race. After a difficult season, I finally want to score my maiden race win in the DTM."
The best-placed BMW driver is Augusto Farfus, who sits fourth on the grid.
"Fourth place is making me feel well," the 31-year-old commented.
"The season hasn't been always easy for me. Even in practice, things didn't go really well here, but then we made some changes on the car. As a result, I am now quite far up the ranks. It would be great if I can end the season with a good result."
