After six races in the RaceRoom DTM Esports Championship in 2025, there have been a staggering five different winners. Tim Jarschel became the first driver to double up on victories this season with a sprint race win, while Lucas Müller opened his tally at the half-hour long main race.
It was a difficult day for championship leader Isaac Price, as he started the opening race from 17th. Luckily for him, he had 32 points over the field after just two rounds, and so maintains that lead at the halfway mark of the season.
Race 1
Tim Jarschel took pole for race one, with the man already 39 points ahead of him in the lead of the championship standings languishing down in 17th.
But it was Gianmarco Fiduci who stole the show on both starts, the first of which gained him the race lead after Jarschel, under pressure into turn three, braked too late and slid wide.
About 10 minutes later, Jarschel stopped later than Fiduci into turn one, but early enough to stay on the line this time, regaining the race lead. Fiduci would try to respond on the last lap, but was just a tiny bit too far back, and so Jarschel held on for the win ahead of the Italian and battling teammates Lucas Muller and Lars Krippner.
Further behind, Isaac Price displayed how difficult it is to overtake at the Nürburgring, only gaining one place throughout race one. Niklas Houben, who earlier showed side-by-side through the Schumacher-S was possible with Enzo Philippau, had been the victim, dropping four places throughout the first race.
Race 2
After that podium in race one, Müller would take pole in the main race, with Tim Jarschel sadly nowhere to be seen in the session after internet problems. Again, Fiduci made the best reaction, immediately slipping past Alessandro Ottaviani from the launch, and putting himself into third out of the first sector.
Müller held his lead overtake teammate Krippner, while Price, who had qualified much better this time, made progress by passing Emre Cihan for seventh. Stuck behind Bence Banki, he kicked off the pitstops for the leaders with 21 minutes to go, a decision that saw him jump up to sixth.
The top three remained the same through this cycle, all reacting to one another and cancelling each other out, paving the way for the run to the finish. Philipp Drayss and Ottaviani would clash over fourth though, allowing Price to gain another place, and maintain a respectable championship lead despite his lacklustre first race.
Out front, it was comfortable for Müller, who took his first race win of the season and a step closer to Price in the race for the championship. However, polling post-race penalties, the German driver has indeed snatched the title race lead.
Despite winning race one, Jarschel’s task is now much harder moving into the second half of the season, as he scored no points in the important main race. The series moves on to a non-points special event next, before the final three races, which decide the 2025 DTM Esports champion.
