Lucas Auer: Triumphs at the Lausitzring-second DTM victory in a row!

Lausitzring, Deutschland - On May 24, 2025, Tyrolean racing driver Lucas Auer won the third DTM race of the current season at the Lausitzring. This victory not only marks his second success this season, but also the overall eleventh win of his DTM career. Auer competes in the Mercedes team and is now considered one of the leading drivers in the overall ranking.

Auer, who is 30 years old and lives in Kufstein, has clearly prevailed in this race. He crossed the finish line 1.344 seconds before the second -placed Maro Engel, who also drives in a Mercedes. Rene Rast from the BMW team took third place with a gap of 5.083 seconds. After the race, Auer mentioned that a successful pit stop and a hard struggle for the tour with angel were crucial for his victory. His performance in qualifying, which has brought him three additional points, should not go unmentioned because he also achieved the best time here.
