- † Larini had originally finished 5th but was given a 30-second penalty for causing a collision with van Lagen and dropped to 15th.
Race 2
Race 2 began at 15:08 local time. Front-row starting independents Engstler and D'Aste led Farfus for the first lap, but Farfus passed D'Aste for second at the start of the second lap before passing Engstler three laps later. Farfus remained in the lead until the finish. He was followed home by fellow BMW driver Priaulx, who had made up three places on the opening lap and passed Larini, D'Aste and Engstler to secure second place, scoring the fastest lap once again. A drive-through penalty for D'Aste and a mechanical failure for Engstler allowed Tarquini to score his second podium finish of the day, which means he left Germany leading the standings.Jörg Müller
