A solid late effort from Audi star Rene Rast puts him on pole position at the Red Bull Ring, but a penalty means it is Nick Cassidy who will start the race at the head of the field. Full DTM qualifying report and results:
Red Bull duo Cassidy and Felipe Fraga appeared the favourites for pole positions at the energy drink giant’s home event in Austria, the two monopolosing the top spot for much of the 20-minute session.
Cassidy found another half a tenth on his next flying lap, which gave him the confidence to head back to the pits with 30 seconds left on the clock. This means it is Cassidy who will start the race from the head of the field, fresh off his maiden victory in Belgium a fortnight ago, with Team Rosberg’s Nico Muller joining him on the front row.
The Italian crucially qualified 11 places ahead of championship leader Sheldon van der Linde , who never featured near the front in qualifying and will have to take the start in 17th position.
