Sheldon van der Linde won race 2 of the second round of the DTM 2022 season at the Lausitzring, taking his second lights-to-flag win in two races at the German ‘roval’ track for Schubert Motorsport.
He beat Maro Engel, in the GruppeM Mercedes-AMG, by just 0.347 at the line, as the German had been hunting down the South African for the last few laps. Ultimately, though, it wasn’t to be.
Rene Rast rounded out the podium for Team ABT Audi, just under two seconds behind S. van der Linde.
Philipp Eng finished fourth, almost seven seconds behind his Schubert Motorsport teammate.

In fifth was Nico Muller in the Team Rosberg Audi, with Mirko Bortolotti sixth for GRT Lamborghini. Bortolotti lost the championship lead to Lucas Auer in the previous race, but by finishing ahead of Auer here he overtakes him in the championship, but S. van der Linde jumps both of them to take the championship lead.
Ricardo Feller finished seventh for Abt Sportsline Audi. Championship leader coming into this race, Lucas Auer, in the Winward Mercedes-AMG, finished eighth.
Laurens Vanthoor finished ninth in the SSR Performance Porsche, with Marco Wittmann tenth in the Walkenhorst Motorsport BMW.
