In the second to last race of the 2013 DTM Championship, BMW Team RBM claimed the second consecutive win with the help of Augusto Farfus, the Brazilian finishing first on the Zandvoort track in Netherlands.
Unfortunately, Mike Rockenfeller finished second, therefore securing his title for this year and helping Audi reach the number one spot in the Manufacturer's championship. This race also marked the 50th win in the DTM for BMW's legendary M3.
“Augusto Farfus produced another sensational race. That was his third victory of the season, his fourth podium in a row, and the 50th win by a BMW M3 in the DTM: these figures speak for themselves," said Jens Marquardt, BMW Motorsport Director.
“The race was not as easy as it may have looked. I was able to pull away from Mike Rockenfeller in the first stint, then the tyres dropped off. He started to catch up and I was really in trouble. Then the car was better on primes and I could really pull clear. I did my job today and could not have done any better," August said after the race.
"Congratulations to Mike Rockenfeller on his fully-deserved title. He has had a brilliant season and I take my hat off to him. I have nothing to complain about as my second year in the DTM has been very strong. I have to thank my team for a superb season,” he then added.
The last race will take place at the Hockenheim, in Germany, on October 20th, with hopes for BMW to win the Manufacturer's championship.
