It’s sweet Held by a magic wand. Finally have fun behind the wheel and it shows. He smiled and his immense quality, the one that always shone in the lower categories, shone again. He did it two weeks ago in his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with victory in the LMP2 category with a modest team like Inter Europol, showing ferocious speed against drivers of the stature of Robert Kubica, that can’t catch up. With him. And now, Albert Costa shines again in another event: the DTM.
The driver from Les Corts went from the top of the Le Mans podium on his debut in the prestigious German DTM touring car series at the wheel of an Emil Frey Ferrari 298 GT3. Emil Frey Racing is the team that trusted Albert after four years without a driver, the one that opened the doors of passenger cars for him and is now a second family for the Catalan. And this time, this structure gave him a good chance to debut in the DTM to replace Jack Eitken, who is in Formula E.
In the first free practice, the Catalan finished 9 tenths behind the best, something that in the very tight category put him in 18th position. The team wanted to try a series of adjustments that didn’t work and hurt them. But in qualifying, Albert shone in his own light and surprised everyone with an excellent 5th position which gave him a good chance to look at the podium in his first DTM race, in this Saturday’s race, also knowing that on Sunday he will have another chance to continue his impressive display in another ‘qualy’ and race 2 on Sunday.
