After the DTM race today at Zandvoort, there is still one race to move, but the winner is already known. Way to go, Rocky!

Mike Rockenfeller was deadly serious when he was at the beginning of the DTM season, said that he champion wants to be. With six years of experience under the DTM velcro closure he has managed and drove Audi Sport Team Phoenix for the title one race before the finale at Hockenheim, October 20. A nice note on his CV, where victories in the Porsche Carrera Cup (2004), FIA GT Championship (2005) and 24 hours of Le Mans and Daytona (2010) are listed.

Last year, he was the best Audi-driver, so it does not come as a surprise that Rockenfeller first across the finish line. This season he was already after the second race at Brands Hatch (United Kingdom) at the top of the rankings and is the only driver who during all nine races points scored.

The tips of the new DTM champion: stay calm and relaxed (even though everything seems lost), keep your head cool and never give up. Thanks to his experience, he knows that business is not forced to be. Together with exact descriptions of how the Audi RS5 DTM performs on different pieces of the circuit, together with the technical team, all taken from the backseat.
