Bruno Spengler Zandvoort 2010

Bruno Spengler continued his fine 2011 form by topping DTM testing at Spielberg ahead of this weekend's round at the Austrian circuit.

The Canadian's pace-setting lap of 1m25.934s came late in the afternoon session, and was enough to put him ahead of his HWA Mercedes team-mate Jamie Green by 0.046s.

Gary Paffett made it an all-HWA top three with a time just 0.117s off the pace, while Persson drivers Renger van der Zande and Christian Vietoris were next up in their 2008-spec C-class machines.

Miguel Molina was the best of the Audi drivers in his older-spec Abt A4, ahead of Ralf Schumacher's HWA Mercedes and Martin Tomczyk's old-spec Phoenix Audi.

Filipe Albuquerque was next up in his Rosberg Audi while Zandvoort winner Mike Rockenfeller was the best of the manufacturer's drivers in 2009-spec machinery and completed the top 10.

Edoardo Mortara topped the morning session in his Rosberg Audi, but slipped back to 12th overall following the afternoon session.
