01:15follow your goals
01:21reach for the stars
01:25turn the weekend into the loudest party of your life
01:31are you prepared
01:34oh yes we are prepared
01:36welcome to DTM 2017
01:39and qualification for the first race is about to get underway
01:43welcome to Hockenheim
01:45and wow what a season we have in prospect
01:48we have some new rules
01:50we have some new drivers
01:51the cars look and sound absolutely fantastic
01:54across free practice
01:56really really interesting to watch
01:58and we are set for what will be a phenomenal season in 2017
02:03critically during this qualification phase as well
02:07not only are the drivers of course
02:09fighting to be as far up as the grid
02:11as they can possibly be
02:13there are points up for grabs in quali as well now
02:15P1 gets you three points
02:17P2 gets you two points
02:18P3 gets you one point
02:20come the end of the season
02:22top racing driver alongside me
02:24Alex Toril
02:25every single point counts doesn't it
02:27and therefore in quali if you're able to bank some points
02:30yeah good morning Dave
02:31exactly it's really important now the qualifying will play a big role
02:35into the end of the year points classification
02:38because at the end it can be
02:40we've seen already in the past
02:42the drivers arrive to the end of the year
02:44only within two three points
02:46and this can make a difference
02:47absolutely
02:47we just saw champion Marco Wittmann
02:50and now we can see Timo Glock then
02:53the Deutsche Post livery BMW M4 DTM
02:56for Timo Glock
02:58and there he is
02:58the focus on those eyes
03:00ready to get this first qualification session underway
03:03you and I have been watching free practice
03:05with very very focused eyes
03:08and has to be said
03:10it's looked very very good during free practice
03:12for Mercedes-Benz
03:14last year an Audi driver
03:16this year Mercedes-Benz
03:17Eduardo Mortara came so so very close
03:20of course last year
03:21he'll definitely have in those eyes
03:24the championship as his target
03:27but with a new manufacturer this year
03:29Mercedes-Benz
03:30so here is the free practice too
03:33and to reinforce what I was saying
03:35look at the top four
03:36our Diresta, Mortara, Robert Wickens
03:39then we see the Audi of Nico Muller
03:40then it was Marco Wittmann
03:41Timo Glock
03:42returning Mero Engel
03:43welcome back to the DTM
03:45where's P8
03:46and if I may say
03:48of the three manufacturers Alex
03:49BMW looked to be the ones
03:51that hadn't quite unlocked something
03:52during free practice
03:53yeah we've seen that
03:55they were struggling
03:55to find the pace
03:57during free practice
03:58but as you know Dave
03:59and we already experienced
04:00the DTM
04:00it can still happen
04:02something in qualifying
04:03they will definitely push
04:04to be as strong as possible
04:05well we will see
04:06it's a very short
04:07sharp qualifying
04:08we have the excellent qualifying
04:11on the same day
04:12as the race
04:13so the conditions
04:14that the drivers will experience
04:15now here at the track
04:16during the course of qualifying
04:18will be pretty much
04:19the conditions
04:20that they expect
04:21when it comes to the race
04:21a little bit later on today
04:22same will of course
04:23be true tomorrow
04:25for race number two
04:26race duration
04:27for 2017
04:2855 minutes
04:29plus one lap
04:30mandatory pit stop
04:31in that
04:33both races stay the same
04:34last year Saturdays
04:35more of a sprint race
04:36Sundays was a longer race
04:38this year everything
04:39has been neutralized
04:40everything is exactly the same
04:41across race day one
04:42and race day two
04:43good thing?
04:44yeah I think it's a really good thing
04:45we also will see pit stop
04:46in both races
04:47either Saturday and Sunday
04:48and also
04:49we also see new regulations
04:51in the pit stop
04:52so less mechanics per car
04:54only two mechanics
04:55per side
04:55per side of the car
04:56so this will make pit stop longer
04:58and they also will play a role
04:59we already saw
05:00in the free practice
05:01some fails by pit stop
05:02so
05:03it will be also interesting
05:04to see how the teams
05:05can adapt to this new rule
05:07and of course
05:08it will be great for us
05:09as spectators
05:10because the cars
05:10will be longer
05:11in that pit lane
05:12won't they
05:12and as you say
05:14strategically
05:15there's more you can do
05:16with that
05:17you make the point also
05:18that in free practice
05:19this morning
05:20we appreciate
05:21it was only free practice
05:22we saw a couple of
05:23wheel gun failures
05:23didn't we?
05:24that's what I meant
05:25so it's not as
05:27fast as last year
05:28the mechanics have to move
05:29from the front of the car
05:30to the rear of the car
05:31so this will play a big role
05:32into the race for sure
05:33you and I last night
05:35were in a briefing
05:36with the Hankook
05:37tyre engineers
05:38we also
05:39met with Dieter Gass
05:41who's
05:41head of Audi motorsport
05:43now
05:43and very much in charge
05:44of the DTM campaign
05:45for Audi
05:47there was a little bit
05:48of a difference
05:48of opinion
05:49in terms of
05:51what
05:51oh
05:52Matthias Ekstrom
05:53very early doors
05:54there
05:55on cold tyres
05:56he's still maybe
05:57on the rallycross
05:58mode
05:59he of course
05:59a very busy man
06:00this weekend
06:01because he's
06:01not only in DTM
06:02but also in rallycross
06:03and tyre warmers
06:04this is important thing
06:05like you said
06:06sorry to interrupt
06:07but
06:07this year
06:08the drivers
06:09doesn't have the tyre warmers
06:10so they go outside
06:11with the car
06:11with completely cold tyres
06:14ok
06:14so we make that point
06:16and we also go back
06:17to the briefing
06:18that I was explaining
06:19just a moment ago
06:19that we were in
06:20with the Hankook engineers
06:22because the tyres
06:23are different compound
06:24this year
06:24yeah exactly
06:25the DTM has now
06:27a new compound
06:28which is softer
06:29but also
06:30will degrade faster
06:31than the previous years
06:33yes
06:33so this will make
06:34this will play
06:35a big role in qualifying
06:36because we will see
06:37faster lap times
06:38but then into the race
06:39the longevity of the tyre
06:40will be less
06:41ok
06:42so you're gonna
06:43ok
06:44and of course
06:44there's a smaller number
06:46of tyres
06:46across the course
06:47of a weekend
06:47as well
06:47yeah
06:48exactly
06:49going to be
06:50very very exciting
06:51Timo Glock
06:52dives into the pit lane
06:53here
06:54give us two minutes
06:56copy
06:56so we fit new tyres
06:58and you will do two flyers
07:02so already two minutes gone
07:03and we heard there
07:04Team Radio being banned
07:05in the race itself
07:07but Timo there
07:09gonna get a new set of tyres
07:11gonna have two flying laps
07:13yep
07:14that's
07:14that will be interesting
07:15to see
07:16we already saw
07:16free practice
07:17that the tyres
07:18can work really good
07:19for two three laps
07:20so I think we will see
07:21some drivers
07:22with new tyres
07:23having two three chance
07:24within the same set of tyres
07:25ok
07:26well we'll see how it unfolds
07:28over the next 17 and a half minutes
07:29we're on board with Matthias Ekstrom
07:31very early doors
07:32sector one
07:3322.330
07:35rather parabolica
07:36now heading up towards
07:37that very very tight
07:38hairpin at Hockenheim
07:40DRS has changed
07:41for 2017
07:43as well
07:44you get three uses
07:45of DRS
07:47and those three uses
07:48and those three uses
07:48can only be used
07:49across 12 laps
07:51in the race
07:52so again
07:52very strategic
07:53in terms of
07:54when the driver
07:54chooses to use
07:55the DRS
07:56because bear in mind
07:57with no team radio
07:58he can have no benefit
07:59of his race engineer
08:00telling him
08:01when's good
08:02and when is bad
08:03the only communication
08:04during the race
08:05unless for safety reasons
08:06will be via the pit board
08:08Nico Muller
08:09early stages
08:09of free practice too
08:10look very very quick
08:11indeed
08:12in the all new
08:13liveried number 51 car
08:15so Nico Muller
08:16then
08:16his first sector
08:1721.3
08:19so Nico Muller
08:21takes us around
08:21this Hockenheim circuit
08:23then
08:24always the opener
08:25for DTM
08:26as we see
08:28crossing the line
08:29there in the
08:29all green car
08:31new into DTM
08:33car number 77
08:35Louis Duval
08:37very experienced driver
08:38of course
08:39but we've seen
08:40just how long
08:40it takes experienced drivers
08:42to get up to speed
08:42with DTM cars Alex
08:43yeah it's
08:45it's really experienced
08:45driving in endurance
08:46but this is
08:47back to the sprint mode
08:49so it's always a difference
08:50between you driving
08:51in an endurance mode
08:52with LMP1s
08:53long duration races
08:54and then back to a race
08:55which is 55 minutes
08:56and you have to push
08:57from the beginning
08:58to the end
08:58this might even play
09:00a good role into him
09:01because he knows
09:02how to manage a tyre
09:03in the longevity
09:04and with this tyre
09:05we will see this
09:05during the races
09:07well at the moment
09:07it's Audi P1 and P2
09:09Matthias Ekstrom
09:09and Nico Muller
09:10then the fastest two
09:11then it's Paul De Rest
09:12at Marrow Engel
09:13then
09:14and Rombard
09:15with Lucas Auer
09:16now PBs in sector one
09:17and sector two
09:18this is a brilliant
09:18splitter cam
09:19that we have there
09:20look at the focus
09:20on Lucas Auer
09:21then
09:22of course his uncle
09:23is now heading up
09:25DTM
09:25who's in charge
09:26of the promoting body
09:27the ITR
09:27one Mr. Gerhard Berger
09:29there's a lot of positivity
09:30around DTM
09:31at the moment
09:33and here's Lucas Auer
09:34then he's heading
09:35forwards
09:35the timing line
09:36now Gary Paffet
09:37goes quickest
09:38with a 138.292
09:39and Lucas Auer
09:40is just one tenth
09:41behind him
09:41with a 138.402
09:43and Paul De Resto
09:45now
09:45he's done a PB
09:47in sector one
09:48again Paul De Resto
09:49was one of those
09:49in free practice
09:50that looked very
09:51very good indeed
09:52Mercedes-Benz
09:52really seemed to have
09:53got it all together
09:55during the course
09:55of the free practice
09:57sessions
09:57of course the cars
09:58have been out
09:58and the drivers
09:59have tested as well
10:00so it's Mercedes-Mercedes-Audi
10:02Mercedes-Benz
10:03at the moment
10:03we're watching
10:04Paul De Resto
10:04who's currently
10:06P8 as you can see
10:08relative to the others
10:08that are out there
10:09and setting times
10:10all the time
10:11we're already
10:11into the second half
10:13of qualifying
10:14it goes just like that
10:15and the drivers
10:17just get a couple
10:17of opportunities
10:18to nail really
10:19really good laps
10:19don't want to be
10:20bogged down
10:20with traffic
10:21and Paul De Resto
10:22goes P1
10:23with a 131.760
10:26Nico Muller

10:36quickest
10:37that's also really good
10:38lap from Maro Engel
10:39so it's back in the pace
10:40looks like P3
10:41at the moment
10:42missing 3 tenths
10:43to Paul De Resto
10:43so I think we'll need
10:44to keep an eye on him
10:45here comes Bruno Spengler
10:47then for BMW
10:47what can he deliver
10:49he can deliver P4
10:50at the moment
10:51so we have Mercedes-Audi
10:52Mercedes-Benz
10:53with 14 minutes
10:55left to run
10:55here comes Robert Wickens
10:57then
10:57he another one

11:03across the car
11:03sector two

11:15finds himself P3
11:16so it's a four-strong
11:17Mercedes-Benz lockout
11:18over the top four places
11:19at the moment
11:20who in the sectors
11:22is looking really really good
11:24where have we got
11:24purples in the sectors
11:25at the moment
11:26I don't see any
11:31Lucas Auer is part now
11:33purple in sector one
11:34okay
11:37on board
11:38around the parabolica
11:40then
11:40heading up
11:41towards
11:42the hairpin
11:43as we cross back
11:45to Paul Duresta
11:45who again has done
11:46PBs in sector one
11:47and sector two
11:48the Paffet benchmark
11:49time of
11:50131
11:51443
11:52well
11:53Paul Duresta
11:54sits in behind

11:55with a 131
11:56532
11:57so
11:57eight one-hundredths
11:58slower than
11:59Gary Paffet
12:00at the moment
12:01Paffet Duresta
12:02Robert Wickens
12:02Lucas Auer
12:03now
12:03Maro Engel
12:04as well
12:04so
12:04all of a sudden
12:06it becomes a five-strong
12:07party right at the top
12:07of the field
12:08with 12
12:09just under
12:1013 minutes remaining
12:11here comes

12:29Box
12:29Timo Box
12:30at the moment
12:31we are P5
12:34Lucas Auer
12:34then
12:35Sector 2
12:36wasn't so strong
12:37for the Mercedes-Benz
12:39driver
12:39the
12:40young Austrian
12:41star
12:41but
12:42makes no difference
12:43because he's gone P2
12:46just sometimes
12:47Lucas can really
12:48unbox
12:48the slap
12:50at the moment
12:51P2
12:54so
12:55catching as much
12:56of the team radio
12:56from the engineers
12:57to the drivers
12:58as we can
12:58because we're not
12:59going to have a
12:59hold down lot
13:00of that
13:00during the course
13:01of the race
13:01to come
13:02a little bit
13:03later on
13:03this afternoon
13:03some super
13:04slow-mos
13:04of Lucas Auer
13:06so champion
13:07then
13:07Marco Wittmann
13:08number 11
13:10PB in sector 1
13:12a little bit shabby
13:13perhaps through
13:14sector 2
13:15he has one more
13:15turn to do
13:16before he reaches
13:17the timing line
13:18he's currently P11
13:19for the champion
13:21Marco Wittmann
13:22then
13:22as he crosses
13:23the timing line
13:23now
13:24doesn't improve
13:25no
13:26like we saw
13:28in free practice
13:28BMW
13:29struggling a bit
13:30to follow the pace
13:31of the Mercedes
13:31box box
13:32in this lap
13:33P11
13:34at the moment
13:37Mike Rockenfeller
13:38P17
13:39just looking at the
13:39order
13:40we've still got
13:40that Mercedes
13:42domination
13:42at the front
13:43best of the BMW
13:44is Timo Glock
13:46best of the Audis
13:47is Nico Muller
13:48P8
13:48here comes Mike
13:49Rockenfeller
13:50then
13:50PBs in sector 1
13:52and sector 2
13:53but bear in mind
13:54this might be the
13:57time that
13:58sends Rockenfeller
13:59further up the order
14:01Mike Rockenfeller
14:02then
14:02the cars look
