Max Hesse declared the winner of a shortened Race 2

The second ADAC TCR Germany’s race at the Nürburgring was plagued by weather conditions. Torrential rain hit the track after a few laps, resulting in a complete reshuffle of the rankings and a safety car intervention that was followed by the red flag and the announcement that the race would not be resumed.
Eventually, Max Hesse was declared the winner, from guest driver Pascal Eberle, championship leader Antti Buri and Mike Halder.
Pole sitting Eberle’s CUPRA stalled at the start, while Dominik Fugel jumped from third on the grid to the lead ahead of Antti Buri, Mitchell Cheah and Harald Proczyk. Cheah passed Buri for second then the Finn was hit by Lukas Niedertscheider and sent wide at T2, dropping to 11^th.
As the rain began to fall, Proczyk passed Cheah and Fugel to take the lead; Théo Coicaud, whose car was badly damaged at the front, and Hesse followed in fourth and fifth before Eberle, Mike Halder, Thierry Neuville, Julien Apothéloz and Buri.
Coicaud stopped, smoke coming off his engine just before a shower hit the track. A number of drivers pitted for rain tyres, including Proczyk, Fugel and Cheah, while Hesse inherited the lead ahead of Eberle, Buri, Halder, Apothéloz and Neuville.
Proczyk rejoined having lost one lap, but rain intensified and on lap 6 all the leaders – Hesse, Eberle, Buri, Halder, Apothéloz and Neuville – went off the track and rejoined. Buri, Halder, Apothéloz and Neuville elected to pit for rain tyres, while Hesse and Eberle stayed off, still on slicks in first and second position.
As the weather worsened, the safety car was deployed and after two laps the red flagged was waved. The final results were those at the end of lap 6, with Hesse, Eberle, Buri, Mike Halder, Apothéloz and Neuville in the first six places with Proczyk 14^th.  
The race was not resumed and so only half points were awarded. Buri has retained the leadership in the standings with a margin of 22 points over Hesse, while Proczyk and Halder are third and fourth, with gaps of 38 and 46 points respectively.
TCR Germany’s next race meeting will be at Hockenheimring on 13^th/15^th September.
