Looks like the Audis were pretty dominant. When's the next race? I try to get around to watching these events but always forget when they're on...

I watched the German feed and was thinking that perhaps we should rename the series the Ralf Schumacher Touring Meisterschaft for all the coverage that he got. images/smilies/smile.gif

Yup, I know where to look, and keeping my eyes off the results is pretty simple as the DTM really doesn't exist on any media sites here in Australia...or anywhere really.

I can never watch DTM live. I have the German channel which broadcasts it but there's only another motorsport at the same time which I prefer images/smilies/biggrin.gif (now it was MotoGP)

Wasn't a great race but at least I could watch it now. Huge mistake by Kristensen at the start, it was strange from such an experienced driver.

Finally got around to watching the Mugello race and it was quite an entertaining race. Bit dull up the front with Jamie Green never really looking like losing the race, but bad luck for Scheider. Still, at least he put on a good display by overtaking several cars and fighting his way back. Good to see Ralf Schumacher still as hopeless as ever, and I cant understand why the MotorsTV commentators keep harping on about Susie Stoddart? She's been in the sport for several years now and I've never seen her do anything (granted I dont watch all that many races) that's so deserving of praise.

Where's Christian Abt? He was real entertainment value in past seasons, so it's a pity that he's gone. Looking forward to the next race at Lausitzring!
