The final race saw Preining and Feller, both driving for Manthey Porsche, competing closely. Preining’s decision to let Feller through on the last lap was notable, reflecting team strategy and sportsmanship as he wrapped up the season with the championship.

With this victory, Preining adds a second DTM title to his record, underlining his status as a leading driver in the series. The season finale at Hockenheim proved to be a fitting conclusion to a competitive campaign for both Manthey Porsche drivers.
