A well-timed pitstop helped Kelvin van der Linde take victory in changeable conditions in the opening DTM race of the weekend at the Red Bull Ring.
The race resumed with 13 minutes left on the clock, with van der Linde pulling out more than a one-second advantage almost immediately, and from there controlled the remainder of the contest ahead of Heinrich while battles raged behind them.
Preining muscled his way into third past Engel, who ran wide and lost a further place to Feller. But one lap later Preining was instructed to let Engel back through, allowing Feller into third and Engel to fourth. Rast tried to capitalise by drawing alongside Preining, who was able to hold onto fifth.
Despite initially losing out, Rast was soon into fourth past Engel and Preining before engaging in a feisty battle for third with Feller in the final few laps. Rast tapped the rear of Feller's Audi twice into turn four, both times drawing alongside on the exit, but Feller put up a determined resistance to remain ahead and then held off his rival once more on the final lap. Engel and Preining continued their own tussle for fifth, with Engel prevailing at the chequered flag.came home seventh ahead of Wittmann, who passed Bortolotti with little more than a lap to go, while Olsen lost out to the pair before the finish and slipped from eighth to tenth.
