In the DTM’s second round of the season at Oschersleben Susie Stoddart experienced a difficult race weekend. But after fair to middling practice sessions and 19th place on the starting grid, the scotswoman in her 2005-spec TV Spielfilm AMG Mercedes C-Class did manage to move forward to 16th place. Susie was disappointed: “That was a difficult race for me in which I never found my rhythm.“ The race is water under the bridge now, her sights are set forwards to the round at the EuroSpeedway weekend after next.
