DTM drivers have more clarity on start rules after a crash-filled race at the Norisring last weekend, says BMW's Sheldon van der Linde.
Calls were made for a crackdown on driving standards after only 11 drivers finished an eventful opening race blighted by contact.
But in the additional drivers briefing, it was clarified that drivers could not move out of their columns and had to stay in formation, with the race proceeding without incident after a clean start. Abt team manager Roger Koehler told Motorsport.com that there had “been some common agreements made” in the drivers briefing concerning race starts.
