BMW Motorsport took another win in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben, as Timo Glock took his first victory in the series since the Hockenheim finale in 2013.

The Team MTEK driver took a lights-to-flag win, surviving a safety car period after a first lap incident that saw multiple cars come together at turn one.

Glock finished 1.876 seconds ahead of fellow MTEK teammate Bruno Spengler, with both Augusto Farfus and António Félix da Costa helping to complete a BMW 1-2-3-4.

Reigning champion Marco Wittmann, Tom Blomqvist and Martin Tomcyzk placed from sixth to eighth at the chequered flag, giving BMW reason to celebrate with seven of their cars in the top ten.

Maxime Martin was the sole Munich driver to end up outside the top ten in 11th place. Pascal Wehrlein was fighting to stay in the race, with the Mercedes F1 reserve driver finishing fifth, seeing him retake the points lead from Mattias Ekström by just four points.

The Swede started his fight back from 23rd on the grid, as Lucas Auer was handed a five-place grid penalty after qualifying for blocking. Ekström was able to make his way up to 15th, before the safety car phase halted his progress.

Miguel Molina was the only Audi driver to make it into the points, finishing ninth ahead of fellow Spaniard Daniel Juncadella, who rounded out the top ten.

Audi had a race to forget, as Mike Rockenfeller, Edoardo Mortara, Nico Müller and Jamie Green all retired, due to extensive damage at the first lap incident.

Gary Paffett also retired on lap 14, as his C63 AMG suffered with steering problems, as did fellow Mercedes driver Robert Wickens, who was the earliest casualty on lap 4, as a result of the first lap incident.

Edoardo Mortara stays third in the points on 110, whilst Spengler now moves level with Green on 103.

Qualifying for race 14 starts at 1135 CEST (1035 BST).
