The new champion has been found - Jürgen Bender has an insurmountable head start in the DMV GTC 2015

Jürgen Bender can put the Champaign in his fridge already. The Corvette pilot from Neckarsulm will take home the championship after the finals of the DMV GT and Touring Car Cup (DMV GTC). Bender has a head start of 296 points before the last two races and is thus impossible to beat. Two smart races in Spa Francorchamps did the trick and won him the title. Bender did not win his class on the track, but Christoph Dupré, who was faster in the end, was a guest starter only and not signed up for the championship. Jürgen Bender thus was able to take home the maximum of 25 points twice and increase his head-start. The only thing that could still prevent his victory would be if he was excluded from the valuation in the finals. All in all, Bender has collected the maximum points eight times in 14 races, as well as three second places and two third ones in his class.

Bender is currently followed by the duo Marcel Hartmann and André Krumbach in place two. The padding to the third rank is very thin for those two, though. Finn Pertti Kuismanen is only twelve points behind the Porsche duo. The fight for the two platform positions reaches beyond the fourth place of Christof Langer to the fifth of Peter Schepperheyn. Speaking in classes, drivers from classes 7a, 7b and 10 are still competing for the vice title and rank three. Things remain exciting. Series organiser Ralph Monschauer was able to give the teams good news: There will be a 60-minute race on the Nürburgring. After the second 30-minute race of the DMV GTC is held on Saturday morning, the race of one hour is to follow in the afternoon.
