REPXPERT INA Torque Challenge winner is lucky charm as Schaeffler clinches DTM victory
Share:

Winner of the INA Torque Challenge at Automechanika in June, Eddie Nazarov, enjoyed a fantastic weekend at Brands Hatch, where he and his wife, Innes, witnessed a Schaeffler victory during round-six of the DTM Championship.


Eddie, a REPXPERT member, and Innes were guests of Schaeffler and BMW and got to see Marco Wittmann clinch his fourth win of the season in the Schaeffler BMW M4 DTM after starting race one from pole position. Despite the rain showers and strong winds, Wittmann was able to navigate his M4 around a greasy track and adapt to the challenging conditions, holding off René Rast in the closing stages to win by less than a second. In race two on Sunday, Wittmann, who started from 12th following his victory and pole position on Saturday, finished 10th and scooped valuable points in his DTM title bid.

Eddie commented said, “Everything has been fantastic, especially meeting Marco and watching him win on Saturday. The Schaeffler and BMW staff looked after us for the whole weekend, making sure that we both had a great time. It was simply amazing.”
