Vanina Ickx will not start the seventh round of the DTM after rolling her Audi A4 in qualifying at Zandvoort, her mechanics being unable to repair her car in time.

Ickx was battling to make it into the second knockout stage of qualifying but spun at Scheivlak, the Futurecom run Audi digging into the gravel and rolling over.

Although unharmed, the Belgian's car cannot be fixed in time for her to make the start line, much to her disappointment.

Audi withdraw all cars mid-race.

There was a dramatic end to the penultimate DTM race of the season at Barcelona when Audi sensationally withdrew all of its cars with only a few laps of the race remaining.

It is unsure as to the exact reasoning behind the decision to pull the five remaining A4s from the race, but title contenders Mattias Ekstrom and Martin Tomczyk had already been eliminated from the race by Mercedes drivers Mika Hakkinen and Daniel La Rosa, while fellow works driver Timo Scheider was also forced out after a collision with Daniel La Rosa.

Gary Paffett has secured the 2018 DTM drivers' title for Mercedes after finishing the final race of the season on the podium in third behind race winner Rene Rast and Marco Wittmann at the Hockenheimring.

Paffett arrived into the title decider with a seven-point championship lead ahead of his Mercedes team mate Paul di Resta, and a 14-point lead ahead of outgoing champion Rast.

However, with Di Resta starting the second race from eleventh, the race for the title proved to be a straight fight between the Mercedes of Paffett and the Audi of Rast.

Two-time DTM champion Marco Wittmann will start the final race of the 2018 season from pole position after beating title contender Rene Rast in qualifying at the Hockenheimring.

The BMW driver endured a miserable Saturday at Hockenheim after an FP3 crash forced him out of qualifying, before registering a 16th place finish in race one.

However, Wittmann hit back in triumphant fashion after sending his BMW M4 to the top of the timesheets ahead of Audi's Rast during the final 20-minute shootout of the year.

Newly-crowned two-time DTM champion Gary Paffett has described winning the 2018 drivers' title, 13-years after his previous championship winning success, as 'the best day of his life'.

The 37-year old took third position during today's [Sunday] second race to win the title by just four-points ahead of outgoing champion Rene Rast, who won the season finale for Audi.

Paffett arrived into the final weekend of the season trailing his Mercedes team mate Paul di Resta by four-points, but heavily outscored the former F1-driver by 26-points over the course of the finale.
