DTM finds no irregularities in engines in post-Spielberg inspection
The German motorsport federation DMSB conducted a routine inspection on the engines of Thomas Preining, Mirko Bortolotti, and Ricardo Feller which took nearly two weeks to complete, but found no irregularities. This inspection was meant to show teams and manufacturers that DMSB is closely scrutinizing engine parts for legality as the season comes to an end in Hockenheim later this month. There have been complaints in the paddock about SSR Performance, with rival teams suspecting a major improvement in performance. Mirko Bortolotti credits his pole position to not setting the best sector times during qualifying. The top three championship contenders had their engines dismantled and thoroughly checked for legality by DMSB at the facilities of Porsche, Lamborghini, and Audi. The process took almost two weeks due to the scheduling conflicts between manufacturers and DMSB.
