The battle for victory was fierce, but DB Autosport remained consistent and resilient throughout the race.
After hours of intense racing, the team crossed the finish line in first place, securing their second victory of the season!
🏁 A remarkable 2021 season
With this triumph in Estoril, DB Autosport wraps up the season with an impressive track record:
✅ 2 victories (Magny-Cours, Estoril)
