Lappalainen, on scoring his eighth and ninth podium result this season, defended his position in the overall standings. The 18-year-old now has a tally of 239 points, trailed by Marschall with 230. Van der Linde, with 197 points, is in position three and, following the sixth of seven race weekends, is leading the rookies’ classification, trailed closely by Nicklas Nielsen. The Audi Sport TT Cup newcomer from Denmark is trailing the reigning Champion of Volkswagen Polo Cup South Africa by just one point. “The fans can look forward to the season finale at Hockenheim,” says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. “There are four drivers who, mathematically, still have chances of becoming champion and among the rookies there are three talents battling for the coveted title.” The final event in the 2016 Audi Sport TT Cup will be held as part of the DTM season’s finale at the Hockenheimring from October 14 to 16.
