No. This was his last race in DTM. He's switched to rally cross now.Mattias Ekstom's last year?
Another scary sight in Hungary where a number of cars slid through their pit boxes in a brief shower and into crew members and marshalls. The problem looked like where the cars stop for their pitstops is concrete and when it got wet it looked like a polished marble floor or something and the cars just couldn't stop on it since they were on slicks.

They need to rethink that concrete surface in the slow lane, it's a miracle that nobody was killed in one of those accidents
Those who are interested can find the video at YouTube under watch?v=Som0tHyMh64, I'm not even going to post a working link.
Especially I think it was Motara that took down his entire pit gantry and the box. With all of that equipment flying around it's a miracle no one was struck by it.
All three drivers were subsequently disqualified and excluded from the race.

I can understand that the onus is on the drivers to slow to "a safe speed" which may be well below the pit-lane maximum that they usually drive to but that seems harsh - it's evident that none of the drivers wanted to jeopardise their race with a crash and that they were caught by surprise by the surface.
Yeah watch both if you haven't. Great races. Gotta love DTM.WOW! What a crazy race 2 in Misano. You must watch it, if you have not seen it live.
