Wisniewski keeps the title race exciting

• Wisniewski scores valuable points in the battle for the championship
• Tough race day for Jarschel
• Title to be decided at the Hockenheimring

Munich. Nikodem Wisniewski (G2 Esports) wins both races in the 2024 DTM eSports Championship powered by RaceRoom at the Red Bull Ring, and in doing so keeps the title race alive. The destination of the title will be decided at the season finale at the Hockenheimring. Wisniewski’s brace of victories sees him close to within 29 points of championship leader Tim Jarschel. The Falken Simracing driver could do no better than second place in race two.

Wisniewski wins, Jarschel is fourth
Wisniewski laid the foundation for his subsequent victory with pole position in qualifying for the sprint race. Jarschel joined him on the front row of the grid. Behind them, Team Redline drivers Enzo Bonito and Kevin Siggy formed the second row of the grid. Wisniewski reacted fastest at the start and took the lead. Jarschel lost second place to Bonito and settled into third place. Siggy lost ground at the start, but was able to catch up again over the course of the race and passed both Bonito and Jarschel in one go. Out in front, Wisniewski had a clear track and went on to celebrate his third win of the season. Siggy crossed the finish line in second place and also picked up valuable points in the race for the title. Bonito came home third, ahead of Jarschel.

Win number five of the season for Wisniewski
Jarschel secured pole in the second qualifying session, and with it victory in the Pole Position Award. Wisniewski was second, ahead of Marcell Csincsik (R8G Esports). Jarschel was unable to take advantage of his pole position and was immediately overtaken by Wisniewski at the start. Wisniewski came in for an early pit stop, while Jarschel stayed out and pulled into the pits a few laps later. He rejoined the race behind the Pole and ahead of Csincsik. Wisniewski claimed a comfortable victory and celebrated a brace of wins at the Red Bull Ring. Jarschel came home second to limit the damage, followed in third place by Csincsik.

Title race goes down to the season finale
Mathematically, three drivers could still win the title. Jarschel tops the table with 262 points. Wisniewski trails by 29 points going into the season finale. Siggy needs a miracle at the Hockenheimring, if he is to overturn the 59-point deficit and catch championship leader Jarschel.

Nikodem Wisniewski
“I did not really have to battle with anyone at the Red Bull Ring. I led from start to finish in both races. I am super happy about the two wins. I am now comfortably in second place in the table. I lost too many points to Tim early in the season. He has the advantage at the Hockenheimring.”

Tim Jarschel
“I struggled in practice at the Red Bull Ring. However, the Porsche was good there. It is a shame that I dropped a position in race two. However, I still have a good cushion in the championship. It should be ok at the Hockenheimring.”

The final round of the 2024 DTM eSports Championship powered by RaceRoom takes place on Friday at the virtual Hockenheimring. The finale will be streamed live from 19:15 on the DTM YouTube channel, with commentary available in German and English.
