Heartbreak for Liam Lawson at Norisring | Driving DTM

The DTM lost a lifelong fan in me, with the way this finale was handled. Why would I spend a single minute following this championship if I know at the end the results are manipulated and drivers can just ram into their oponent (twice in a row) and take them out of the race with little or no consecuences?

[@Dischingo]

pretty much the same as F1.

[@Mordrede100]

I only recently started following it, but the more I learned, the more disgusting it became. Yeah I am also done with this joke of a championship. No person in their right mind would follow or enjoy something as vile and corrupted as this... Srsly I only watched because I like gt3 cars in sims and Albon, but like the clowns included in this series makes me feel ok with a potential cancel of the whole thing. (even though I hate this cancel culture from my heart, this would deserve it)

Guys. You’ll be back. Because it is sooooo tempting to see how next season pans out after this drama. See you in 2022.

@TheNorthernAviator Why would the race be stopped for one driver that doesn't make any sense. Its racing things like this happen all the time some more serious than this. I mean look at British GP this year Hamilton only got a 10 second penalty for that incident compared to that this is nothing. Unfortunate for Liam and how he lost the championship but the world moves on and he will too.

KVL just doesn't know what shame is and he absolutely disgusts me, especially from this video - so many conversations with him before the race and he just kept divebombing anyway? If that's not deliberate then I don't know what is. And btw no matter if it's intended or not, that podium shot of Liam with 1st and champion texts as background is great visual language.

If we're talking the one thing that makes DTM unique which is the Class 1 regs, then there's GT500 in Super GT that will keep using it for far longer than DTM will ever hoped for.

Since first race of this season I watched the DTM because of two things. First is Tourenwagen Legenden and the second is Liam Lawson... I watched whole season, was cheering both Liam and Ferrari with their first full season. It wasn't every time by the way we all wanted but if you are a fan, you are there for all ups and downs. But... The last race was a nightmare... Lap 18 Goetz pits Lap 26 Auer pits Lap 37 Goetz's racing engineer says that he must to get closer, Goetz says that this is impossible, gao to Auer -9 sec Lap 58 gap Goetz to Auer is 14 sec. Lap 62 Ellis gives up the position to Goetz, gap to Auer -7.67 Lap 63 gap to Auer -4.68 Lap 64 Goetz gets pass on Auer Lap 68 at the finish line Auer is miraculously keeping with Goetz with just -0.86 sec lost. Couple laps earlier he was losing up to 4 sec per lap!! This is shameless, dirtiest, awfull, disrespectable, and unsporty thing that I've ever saw. Worse than F1 Belgian GP, the one, that never happened and an 1990 DTM Hockenheim finale when Schumacher, being only guest driver, torpedoed Johnny Cecotto, championship leader with 18 points advantage (Liam had 19 points advantage)... DTM Shame on you... Gerhard Berger shame!! I'm glad about the decision to take out Liam from DTM and this farce... You deserve for better league than this... I'm looking forward to any decisions.

Brilliant season Lawson had, hope he goes well wherever he goes!

[@dnarowdy]

In sailing, and I think it should be in every sport, you have something called redress. If a contender gets taken out through no fault of there own and without the possibility to avoid a collision a score will be added based on the average amount of points scored throughout the season. This would have been one of those situations.

They were racing until only one real contender per brand was left, and then stuff like this was done. This is nothing new. Anyways, I was just trying to say, some are barking at the wrong tree here. I cheered for Liam too. This young lad has only raced single-seaters before and was the top guy from the first second. Just impressive! In the end I'm just happy Maxi Götz get the title instead of KVL. The 5 second penalty was a joke, he deserves one/some race bans.

Biggest looser of the Final Race: Lili Lawson, who lost the championship title. But it was a nice try.

[@alexchan3287]

A 5-second penalty for F1 might be reasonable. For touring car it's just a yoke! Kelvin Van der Linde, a name to be remembered for its shame.

[@merlin51h84]

And you get a drive through penalty for speeding in the pits. WTF?

[@markmudgway7102]

DTM gained me then lost me in a season!

[@merlin51h84]

I'm with you brother.

[@patrikkipka3812]

Die DTM hat an Attraktivität noch einmal kräftig verloren. Wenn ich so etwas sehen will, schaue ich 12-16 jährigen Kindern beim SIM-Racing zu. Da braucht es keine DTM! Eine Schande. Liam. Kopf hoch! Das beste daraus gemacht und fair geblieben. Meinen Respekt hast du! 👍👍👍

[@anthonypetty9288]

A gutting way to end the season for Liam, but I'm sure the Pukekohe Pocket Rocket will do well in the following seasons. Well done team.

[@AyyFuji]

Trying to become a bigger series, and be seen as more legit, but then let a farce of an ending, and a disqualification worthy start happen, really shows where DTM actually lies (in the pockets of the manufacturer's). Liam showed his skill, Alex had a solid season, and Nick made a great 3rd driver.

[@SuperArief11]

why the car never looked fresh? parc ferme not allow car to get washed?

[@allangrant1326]

Dudes loving the two kiwis together 🤘 Same bout the last race🙄🥴

[@Sfgg..ffvyhd]

Better than F1's breaking point 🥲

[@nicolawebb4864]

KVL is so frickin arrogant. The fake apology this week meant nothing. He knows exactly what he was trying to do. Lawson was totally robbed and is a future superstar 👍🤩

[@Rob-vv5yn]

Hollow words from a hollow man that’s for sure, he needs more people to get onto his social media and remind him he deserves all the crap he has brought on himself utter disgrace.

[@matpk]

@@Rob-vv5yn DTM is rigged and DEAD. WWE of Motorsport. NASCAR had a far better weekend. Great racing over there👍🏻

[@Rob-vv5yn]

@@matpk thanks I’m looking for new series to watch, if I was going American it would Indy car. European it’s going to be just WEC. DTM was looking a good series with Ferrari making it a great series but the last two races, and the rigged finish for Merc killed it for me.

[@24escalade]

Having seen VDL race in IMSA over here, he seemed like a gentleman racer. guess turns into a kamikaze pilot tho to take out his rivals.

[@洪梓恩-JackEvans]

aside lawson and cassidy, gotta give respect to team rowe for being nice and friendly after the race, they respect and pat lawson whose championship dream had just been robbed, trying to make him feel better.
