Nicki Thiim Secures Aston Martin's Maiden DTM Victory at Norisring After Dramatic Crash

Nicki Thiim delivered a landmark victory for Aston Martin in the DTM series at Norisring, converting pole position into a commanding win.

The race was notably disrupted by a significant accident involving Kelvin van der Linde and Maximilian Paul.

Paul lost control of his Grasser Lamborghini under braking before the Grundig hairpin, colliding heavily with the guardrail and sliding across the track.

The incident triggered a lengthy red flag period, halting the race to allow for track clearance and safety checks.

Despite the interruption, Thiim maintained composure and pace to secure Aston Martin's first triumph in the championship, marking a milestone for the manufacturer in DTM competition.
