The italian circuit of Misano Adriatico was the venue of the DTM seventh round this season. For the first time ever, a DTM event took place at night with two one-hour races ran at 10:30PM. The Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (aka DTM) 2018 lineup is impressive: many former F1 drivers, as Timo Glock, Paul Di Resta, Pascal Wehrlein, and platinum GT drivers as well as, an italian Alex Zanardi, as BMW sponsorman, but for Misano round only.
Mercedes AMG Motorsport was absolutely dominant in the weekend because of the victory with Paul DI RESTA and third place with Edoardo MORTARA in race 1 and second place in race 2, again with MORTARA. In race 1, the second podium position was gotten by Robin FRIJNS (rookie) on Audi RS5. Race 2 of sunday was won by Joel ERIKSSON instead, the first victory for this rookie driver in DTM, while Rene RAST of Audi Sport Team Rosberg took the lowest podium spot.
