LIVE FROM OSCHERSLEBEN



Good morning DTM fans, are you ready for Round 2 of the DTM? Carlton Kirby and Mark Cole certainly are, bringing you all the action from the German circuit live at 12.45h UK on Motors TV.



After last week's domination of the Hockenheim opener by the new Audi A4, things don't  look much different after qualifying for Oschersleben, the underrated Timo Scheider again on pole, this time ahead of Tom Kristensen and Martin Tomczyk.



But look at 4th place - Britain's Oliver Jarvis in a year-old A4, beating both Mercedes men Canadian Bruno Spengler and Scotsman Paul di Resta to Row 2! The 24-year old from Newmarker is doing to the DTM what Di Resta did it to it last year - the only difference being that Paul now has a 2008 car and the full might of Mercedes behind him.



Watch this fight between the Brits in the world's top touring car series; this is is going to be one not to miss! See you there, and post your comments here.



MARK COLE

Hi,

I'm new to the forum but not to DTM, used to watch it on the German TV (I live in Holland) but now that I have MotorsTV I will be watching you guys!

Looking forward to a great race!

 
Hi Mark and Carlton and everyone else!

I is here!!

Will Mercedes fight back?   I certainly hope so!

It wouldn 't be one of my posts if it didn't have the following sentiment:

GO SUSIE!!!! Yayay!!

Ahem!

-Rob

Hey Mark, Carlton and everyone on the team.

First post on the forum. Who's everyone bet for the race today?

Good luck to Olly Jarvis today! Do us Brits proud!

- Chris

Hi Carlton & Mark and all.



Hope for a better race here today than one week ago.

Though the grid points to yet another boring (?) Audi dominance.



Well, we'll see

Good afternoon everyone especially all the new guys!  

Any change of pitstop regulations in sight ?

The pitstops in the 2/3 segment was not a thriller

Don't forget last year's result!!! Gary Paffett in a year old car! This may not be as cut & dried as last week's result suggests!

Hi everyone, like a bus, you wait all winter for a DTM race and 2 come along on consecutive weekends (ok, not quite like a bus!).



The Audis are looking very good again, do they still ballast the cars to slow down the cars if they are going too quickly? If so it should get a bit more competitive a few races in.

Did you say Verena was trying to wrestle Norby to the ground????



Is this a private game or can we put in a request for Verena to wrestle us to the ground as well? lol
