Rast fronts Schubert 1-2 finish in Race 2 at Red Bull Ring
Round 14 of the 2023 DTM championship took place at the Red Bull Ring, providing quicker lap times and less weather-related tension than the previous day’s rain-dominated race. Rene Rast secured his 26th DTM pole position, with his teammate Sheldon van der Linde qualifying in second place. Thomas Preining started fourth in the championship fight, with Mirko Bortolotti starting ninth. The race got off to a dramatic start as Kelvin van der Linde spun his Audi, causing contact with Tim Heinemann’s Porsche. Bortolotti suffered a puncture after contact with Marvin Dienst’s Porsche, falling to the back of the field. Preining took advantage and moved up to third. Rast led the race, followed closely by S. van der Linde. Battles ensued throughout the midfield, and a pit window opened for mandatory pit stops. Although raindrops fell, drivers opted to stick with slick tires. After the pit stops, Rast and S. van der Linde maintained their positions at the front. With 20 minutes remaining, the positions settled, and Auer launched an attack further back.
