Tomczyk takes his first BMW pole

Martin Tomczyk took his first DTM pole position for nearly two years after edging out Mike Rockenfeller in qualifying at Brands Hatch. The 2011 champion, who had not started from the front of the grid since joining BMW last year, topped Q3 in his RMG M3 and then carried that form into the single-lap Q4 session afterwards. His 41.158s lap in Q4 beat that of Phoenix Audi driver Rockenfeller by 0.035 seconds and gave Tomczyk his first pole since the Spielberg race in 2011
