| JARVIS SCORES FIRST DTM POINTS |
|
Oliver Jarvis clinched his first points of his DTM career in just his third ever DTM race on Sunday (4 May) in Mugello, Italy driving in the A4 DTM for Audi Sport Team Phoenix.
The 24 year old, starting from 11th on the grid made an excellent start, to take a stylish fifth place finish and was the best driver of a car from last year.
“My start was good, I overtook two cars and went through turn one on the inside line” explains Jarvis, “This proves once again how important it is to make a good start. In the first third of the race Alex (Premat) put on a lot of pressure but I wouldn’t let him pass. During the pit stops the team did a fantastic job. Unfortunately, I stalled the engine at the first stop, but this didn’t cost us a position. In the final third of the race Mattias Ekström was running behind me and I had to give everything up to the finish. It was a tough race in which I scored my first points, coming fifth. The team definitely deserved this – I’m happy for everyone."
The next round is DTM Eurospeedway, Germany on 17 and 18 May. |
