Monday, 6th October 2003

The 2003 DTM season boiled down to 37 laps around the new Hockenheim Grand Prix circuit on Sunday with veteran Bernd Schneider and young gun Christijan Albers knowing that whoever crossed the line first out of the two of them would take the glory.

In the final standings Schneider claimed title number four by a margin of four points (68-64) over Albers with Fassler eleven points adrift in third with 57. Ekstrom’s second place run cemented his status as top Audi driver of the year in fourth place overall thanks to nine point scoring efforts in ten races while Alesi pipped Aiello for fifth with his second win of the season. Dumbreck was comfortably the best Opel driver with 31 points in seventh position overall while Mercedes easily claimed manufacturers honours.
