Lausitz 2006: Schneider makes it two in a row.

Sunday, 30th April 2006

Bernd Schneider continued his excellent start to the 2006 DTM Championship with his second win at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, whilst Britain's Jamie Green once again failed to turn his pole position into that elusive first win.

Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ulrich expressed a degree of happiness as his cars were in contention for the race win, but expected more than one Audi A4 DTM at the sharp end of results

"As at Hockenheim we put ourselves in a position where we were able to battle for the lead despite having started from two grid positions that weren't exactly ideal. Unfortunately Mattias ran out of fuel - the final refill didn't quite work as it should have.

"Kristensen also had the right pace. In the end the deciding factor was whether the one or other driver could take new or used tyres at the final pit-stop. We are obviously not happy that only one of our A4s was right at the front at the flag, but we saw an exciting race."
