Audi dominates round two of the DTM in Valencia
Fans of Audi cars will have been pleased to see the manufacturer bounce back from a poor opening round of the 2010 DTM Championship with a commanding victory.
Matthias Ekstrom comfortably led home the field in his Audi A4 DTM, with teammate Martin Tomczyk finishing in second position.
However, Audi's joy at a first one-two of the season was short-lived, as it was soon discovered that due to a mix-up, one of the tyres on Tomczyk's car had come from a wrong set.
Although a technicality, rules are rules and the German driver was disqualified after the race.
However, the head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich expressed his pleasure at a "moral" one-two though.
"Principally, it was a great race for Audi – and we could have been very pleased with the original result. Our cars were very fast and our drivers strong," he said.
In the FIA GT3 European Championship, Audi had a frustrating afternoon in Brno, with neither car managing to finish above 14th place in either race.
