I don't think Paffet is able to overtake.

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 12:48 (Ref:1410427)

there are still 16 laps . it only takes one little mistake
Aiello very close to TK . so it could still be a podium .

no news about the white line ??

**Adam43** · 18 Sep 2005, 12:49 (Ref:1410428)

They appear to be ignoring the obvious transgression.

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2005, 12:49 (Ref:1410429)

I think DTM doesn't want to destroy the race for the title

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 12:50 (Ref:1410430)

it appears like that . i'm sure Audi would appeal .

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2005, 12:53 (Ref:1410432)

Are you watching German TV? The German commentators were talking about the fact Audi is maybe appealing.

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 12:53 (Ref:1410434)

TK is closing . Ekstrom really driving very defensing

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 12:54 (Ref:1410435)

watching MotorsTV and a local TV station .. for the ad-breaks

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 12:56 (Ref:1410436)

if he gets a time penalty after the race . how big can it be ?? .
10 seconds ?? . it could make sense for Ekstrom to slow Paffet down . so he could lose more places .

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2005, 12:58 (Ref:1410438)

Is DTM live on Romanian TV?

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 13:00 (Ref:1410442)

it's a sport tv channel . we get DTM both qualy delayed and live race

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2005, 13:04 (Ref:1410446)

Alesi drive through penalty

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 13:06 (Ref:1410448)

that was quick

.. unlike paffet

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 13:08 (Ref:1410453)

what a race . it doesn't need overtaking

WTCC next

**FIRE** · 18 Sep 2005, 13:09 (Ref:1410455)

Switching to WTCC topic. (Nice autosport sunday, FIA GT, DTM, WTCC)

**Adam43** · 18 Sep 2005, 13:28 (Ref:1410487)

Well done Paffett and Ekström - a great race. A brilliant drive by Ekström to hold off Paffett. He was late on the brakes every lap into the first corner. Perhaps it comprimised his line, but it stopped Paffett getting a nose alongside.

I am very surprised that Paffett didn't get a drive-through. It looked clear at the time.

Hazard · 18 Sep 2005, 14:11 (Ref:1410546)

Looks like the DTM is going to be the most 'normal' race today.

Excellent driving from Ekstrom and Paffett, great competitors.

Opel, naff strategy...they're never going to win a race leaving their cars out so long, they should have dragged someone in with the Audi/Merc's on lap 6-7.

**Adam43** · 18 Sep 2005, 15:33 (Ref:1410645)

Opel had options too. With three cars up there they could have mixed their strategies, except everyone did almost the same thing. One of them should have reacted to Ekstrom and Paffet.

Dani Filth · 18 Sep 2005, 17:11 (Ref:1410708)

that should have been the leading car . to be sure they get out in front ..
any news regarding the white line ??

**Adam43** · 18 Sep 2005, 22:57 (Ref:1410937)

All is quiet on the white line front. Nothing on the news sites I've seen or the DTM site. I'm surprised he didn't get a penalty, but we don't know what was said to them in the briefing and what was acceptable and what wasn't.
