René Rast wins Sunday’s race at Brands Hatch to extend his lead in the DTM

This was definitely René Rast’s day. The Audi driver won the Sunday DTM race at Brands Hatch and, in doing so, extended his lead in the Drivers’ Championship. Second place went to fellow Audi man Nico Müller, who also lies second in the overall standings. With conditions dry, many drivers opted for a long second stint, which saw them complete more than two thirds of the race distance on one set of Hankook race tyres. The premium tyre maker’s Ventus Race coped well with the high stresses and produced a typically strong performance.
