Mike Rockenfeller (Audi A5) emerged quickest in the first free practice session on Friday at Spielberg, Austria, scene of the fourth round of the DTM championship.

The German driver, who finished third two weeks ago at Brands Hatch, beat BMW driver Dirk Werner, and the C-Coupe Mercedes of championship leader Gary Paffett.

The Brit went off in a gravel trap during this first session, as did numerous drivers today.

That was a bad day for the two Canadians. Bruno Spengler (BMW M3) was only 18th, after his track time was shortened by 10 minutes as a penalty for a mistake he made in the pit lane during the morning roll out.

Toronto's Robert Wickens was classified last in his C-Coupe Mercedes.
