Maro Engel (AMG) with the best time in the first training session / DTM

Best time in the first DTM training session at Oschersleben goes to Maro Engel. In the WINWARD Mercedes-AMG GT3 Championship, the veteran lapped the circuit at Magdeburg Börde in 1:21.951 minutes.

Second place goes to Sheldon van der Linde in the Schubert Motorsport BMW M4 GT3. In the team’s home game, van der Linde was 0.323 seconds short of the best time.

Jack Aitken took third in the Emil Frey Racing Ferrari 296 GT3.

Due to major training delays on Friday, the session started late. The reasons are a fuel maneuver in the ADAC GT4 training session in Germany and a fatal crash with extensive damage to the crash barrier in the ADAC GT Masters.
