Luca Engstler lead home a 1-2 finish for Hyundai Team Engstler in race two at Zandvoort, with Theo Coicaud holding off the charging Audi of Niels Langeveld for second place.
Engstler started the reverse-grid race from pole position and lead the field into Turn 1 as behind him team-mate Coicaud managed to jump from fifth on the grid to third on the opening lap.
TOPCAR Sport’s Loris Prattes had jumped into second at the start, but the German was later handed a drive-through penalty for a jump start and he dropped down the field, having lost second to Coicaud a lap earlier.
The safety car was required for just one lap after the opening tour, when Prosport’s Max Hesse spun at Turn 5 after slight contact from Langeveld, although his Audi was undamaged and he was able to continue when his car was recovered.
As the racing resumed on lap three, it was Saturday’s race one winner Langeveld who began a charge, having made up one position on the opening lap.
The Dutchman immediately set about making progress and lap four saw him pass Antti Buri’s LMS Racing Audi for eighth, followed by Simon Reicher’s Audi the following lap, which became a pass for sixth after Prattes pitted to serve his penalty.
Langeveld then took advantage of title rival Harald Proczyk being distracted by attempting to pass Mike Halder ahead, slipping his car up the inside of Proczyk’s Opel at turn 7 on lap six.
Lap seven saw Langeveld make two passes on Halder at turn 1 and then the Opel of Luke Wankmüller at Turn 10 to move into third, and he set about closing the gap to Coicaud.
However the laps counted down and despite catching up to the rear bumper of Coicaud, Langeveld played it safe and did not make a move on the Frenchman, settling for third and an extended championship lead.
Wankümller took fourth, equalling his best result of the year, ahead of Halder in fifth, who was again the leading Honda driver.
Proczyk finished in fifth, and as a result is now nine points behind Lageveld in the drivers’ standings, whilst Engstler has closed to 13 points behind the Austrian.
Reicher took seventh, ahead of Buri in eighth and Max Kruse Racing’s Benjamin Leuchter in ninth, after a quiet second half of the race that seemingly saw no-one other than Langeveld able to progress.
The second ADAC Sachsen Honda of Dominik Fugel completed the top ten, in what was a subdued weekend for the German following his success last time out at the Nürburgring.
The only retirement of the race was Dutch driver Maurits Sandberg, who brought his Audi RS3 into the pits after 12 laps with technical issues.
The next TCR Germany round takes place at the Sachsenring on 7 – 9 September.
