Timo Scheider will start the first race of this year's season of the German DTM Touring Car Championship with the best starting position. The two-time champion was the second fastest in the third part of the qualifications in Hockenheim, so in the fourth part he drove his fast lap as the third. With the Audi RS5 of the Abt Sportsline team, he set a time of 1: 35.918, with which he managed to oust August Farfus from the top of the timepieces, and only Christian Vietoris had to drive the fast lap. He lost some time in the first part of the round, so he placed third.
Scheider thus secured the eleventh best starting position in his career, beating Farfus in the RBM BMW by just 0.116 seconds.
Robert Wickens achieved the best result of his career. He was fourth, despite the commissioners deleting his time in the fourth part of the qualifiers due to a track cut.
