DTM champion beats Michael Schumacher in finale Audi factory driver�s second consecutive win Audi A4 DTM and Audi R10 TDI thrill 50,000 fans Mattias Ekstr�m has made one of his biggest dreams come true: In the final round of the "Race of Champions" the Audi driver defeated the seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, triumphing for the second time in a row at the motorsport spectacle that was staged in front of over 50,000 spectators at London�s Wembley Stadium for the first time this year. Also part of the action were stars like David Coulthard, Jenson Button, Sebastian Vettel, Heikki Kovalainen, S�bastien Bourdais, Marcus Gr�nholm and Petter Solberg.
"For me, Michael Schumacher is one of the world�s greatest drivers. To beat him in the same equipment is an incredible experience I won�t forget for a long time," said the elated 29-year-old Swede after the nail-biting finale. After Ekstr�m and Schumacher had each won a round, the third heat had to produce the decision. As at the DTM finale two months earlier, Ekstr�m kept his cool in front of the impressive backdrop of the stadium and did not give his role model Michael Schumacher the slightest chance. Before that, he had eliminated � among others � Britain�s World Touring Car champion Andy Priaulx.
