Full concentration on the DTM finale

After a pointless round at Barcelona, Susie Stoddart is now devoting her full concentration to the DTM finale at Hockenheim on 14 October. The prerequisites in Spain had been extremely chaotic as the weather changed just before the qualifying practice, showering the drivers with heavy rain instead of bright sunshine. Unfortunately, after an off-track excursion the race on Sunday ended early for the quick Scotswoman and her TV Spielfilm AMG Mercedes C-Class. “I’m hugely disappointed about myself. I had a good start and then I made this silly mistake and spun,“ Susie reported.

Now she’s fully concentrating on the season’s finale at Hockenheim: “I want to go into the winter break with a good performance.“ The prerequisites for this are good because on the same circuit Susie clinched a strong twelfth grid position in the season opener.
