Reactions to the 13th race of the 2015 DTM season.

Jens Marquardt (BMW Motorsport Director): “This is a fantastic result for us. We were very strong when we tested here, and were able to underline that strength today. Timo Glock produced a great, flawless race to claim his second victory in the DTM. He was unbeatable today. Bruno Spengler, António Félix da Costa and Augusto Farfus also performed strongly to finish in second to fourth places. This was the first one-two for BMW Team MTEK and all four BMW teams had drivers in the top six. A further three BMWs in the top ten round off a dream result for us – and in front packed stands. We don’t have much time to celebrate today. We are back in business tomorrow and hope to achieve a similar result.”

Timo Glock (BMW Team MTEK, 1st): “This victory feels fantastic. It was hugely enjoyable to drive the car today. However, I had to push in the race. I wanted to get out of the DRS window as soon as possible, to avoid the threat posed by my team-mate Bruno Spengler. I fought like a lion all race and was rewarded with my second DTM win. I am pleased for my team that our work has finally paid off and we even managed a one-two. The guys deserved that.”
