Schumacher spins off as former DTM champion Mattias Ekström takes the victory

Both motorsport heavyweights claimed one win each in the best-of-three final. As fans held their breath, the last heat saw Ekström build up a small lead over Schumacher who pulled out all the stops to respond. It was not to be however, as the German spun his car in a dash for the chequered flag.
