Bernd Schneider took pole and won the first DTM race of the 2003 season. Mercedes did pretty well with four cars in the top five.

Here are the points paying results:

1 Bernd Schneider (D) Vodafone AMG-Mercedes 1:11:06.451 37
2 Marcel Fässler (CH) AMG-Mercedes + 28.002 37
3 Laurent Aiello (F) Hasseröder Abt-Audi + 28.292 37
4 Jean Alesi (F) AMG-Mercedes + 38.467 37
5 Christijan Albers (NL) ExpressService AMG-Mercedes + 1:01.237 37
6 Peter Dumbreck (GB) OPC Team Phoenix + 1:16.749 37
7 Timo Scheider (D) OPC Team Phoenix + 1:19.342 37
8 Mattias Ekström (S) PlayStation 2 Red Bull Abt-Audi + 1:22.578 37

Speed usually shows the DTM series in the fall/winter (November-December). My guess is that it's cheaper for them to buy the series at that time (compared to the expense of showing them live, or same day tape delay). It also gives them something to show during that time as most racing series are in their off seasons during the winter. Usually they show the BTCC (although I don't remember them showing this last fall), the ETC and the ATCC (the ATCC usually is closer to being "live" since it's summer in Australia - plus since the original broadcast is in English, there is no need to have English commentary added to the program, which probably is another reason for the DTM delay), for a wintery season of touring car fun.

I usually forget who's won the races by then so I don't mind watching something that's six months old.

Cheers, BT
