The most prominent DTM newcomer, Ralf Schumacher, completed 251 laps in the one and a half days he tested at Oschersleben. Just as the other drivers, the six-time Grand Prix winner also focused on gathering more experience at the wheel of the AMG Mercedes C-Class. Hence, the times clocked were of minor significance. On Tuesday morning, in his final session, Schumacher achieved his personal minimum time by lapping the 3.696-kilometre circuit in 1:23.796 minutes. “There will be a lot I’ll have to learn but I have fun doing so and am facing a huge challenge,” said the German who resides in Salzburg, Austria.
