That it is definitely possible to overtake at the Motorpark was proved by Tom Kristensen as well. The Le Mans record victor, who had captured his first pole position in the DTM in Saturday’s Qualifying, stalled at race start and had to re-start the engine of his Audi A4 DTM, thus falling behind to 19th place. During the 44-lap race, the Audi driver managed to advance to fifth place in a remarkable run to make up ground. In the final phase, the Dane had a thrilling duel with ex-champion Bernd Schneider.

Allan McNish finished the race in sixth place, thus scoring points for the second time in a row. Martin Tomczyk, who had started from the first row, was running in front of his team-mate Mattias Ekström in the beginning but, after two thirds of the race, had to park his Audi A4 DTM due to a defect on the right front suspension.

Best driver of a 2004-spec car at Oschersleben was Frank Stippler, who finished ninth in the A4 DTM entered by Audi Sport Team Joest and missed scoring a point by merely 0.572 seconds. Rinaldo Capello, Christian Abt and Pierre Kaffer claimed places ten, twelve and 17.

Rinaldo Capello (Audi Sport Team Joest #18) 10th place, + 42"430
"I think that, today, I would have really deserved scoring a point. I drove a very good race and was very quick. At the start, however, I was a bit unfortunate: I got off very well but then had to brake because of Tom and that cost me quite a few places. Then there was a problem during the pit stop. This meant a few handicaps too many for me.”
