Güven’s DTM Sachsenring Double and Márquez’s Balaton Sweep Reorder Championship Races

The weekend tightened DTM’s standings with Lucas Auer now one point in front as MotoGP’s leader pulled 175 points clear.

Overview

  • Ayhancan Güven won both DTM races at the Sachsenring, inheriting victory each day after Thomas Preining’s errors, including a Sunday hit on points leader Jack Aitken that drew three penalty laps.
  • Ben Dörr finished second on Sunday to deliver McLaren’s first DTM podium, with Jules Gounon third and Ben Green fourth after a slow second stop dropped him from P2.
  • Lucas Auer reclaimed the DTM points lead with ninth in Race 2, edging Aitken by one point; Güven climbed to third, with Jordan Pepper and Preining close behind.
  • Saturday’s DTM opener started on wets after a downpour and swung late when Preining’s last‑lap turn‑one clash with polesitter Pepper let Güven snatch the win; Pepper’s P2 left him tied with Aitken then.
  • Marc Márquez completed a sprint‑and‑Grand Prix double at MotoGP’s new Balaton Park, beating Pedro Acosta and Marco Bezzecchi on Sunday to extend his championship advantage to 175 points, a day after a crash‑strewn sprint that brought steward penalties for Fabio Quartararo and Enea Bastianini.
