Christjohannes Schreiber profited from a time penalty for Peter Rikli to claim his first FIA European Touring Car Cup victory at Monza.
Rikli won on the road but was handed a 10-second penalty for a track limits infringement on the opening lap, giving the win to his Honda-driving team-mate Schreiber, who now leads the standings by three points.
Race one winner Petr Fulín received a five-second penalty for a similar offence but took third ahead of Norbert Nagy.

Christjohannes Schreiber made it two wins from two following another action-packed counter at FIA ETCC Race of Hungaroring. Starting eighth on the reverse grid, the Swiss took the lead when team-mate and compatriot Peter Rikli suffered driveshaft failure with the finish in sight and fended off a late challenge from Kazakhstan’s Alexandr Artemyev. Hungary’s Norbert Nagy completed the podium, much to the joy of his home fans, who had been disappointed earlier in the race when Zsolt Dávid Szabó crashed out after contact with Petr Fulín. Although the Hungarian’s SEAT was badly damaged, Szabó was given the all-clear following a visit to the medical centre, as Fulín continued to the finish in fourth place. Rikli had taken the lead on the run to the first corner and was still holding firm in front once the safety car, deployed to allow trackside marshals to recover Szabó’s wrecked car, returned to the pits only for late heartache to cancel out yet another victory challenge. Mladen Lalušić, who started on the reverse-grid pole, took fifth with Andreas Pfister sixth, Rudolf Pesovic seventh and Igor Stefanovski completing the scorers, one place ahead of Hungarian lady driver Anett György. Stefanovski had been in contention for a podium finish but a drive-through penalty for a jumped start dropped him back. Fábio Mota joined Lalušić on the front row but dropped out of contention after early-race contact. A broken driveshaft on his Audi in Race 1 meant Plamen Kralev was a non-starter in Race 2.
RACE 1 REPORT: SCHREIBER HOLDS OFF SZABÓ FOR ETCC GOLD
Christjohannes Schreiber held on to win a thrilling Race 1 at FIA ETCC Race of Hungaroring, just doing enough to beat home hero Zsolt Dávid Szabó. Szabó started from pole but a poor getaway dropped him to sixth and allowed Schreiber through into the lead from third. While Schreiber edged ahead, Szabó began a thrilling fight back, eventually passing Zengő team-mate Norbert Nagy for second on the inside of Turn 5 on lap seven. He then set about catching Schreiber and momentarily took the lead at the penultimate corner on lap 10 following contact between the pair. Szabó gave the place back on the run up to the final corner and attempted to pass again at Turn 5 on the last lap but slid wide, leaving Schreiber to take the win ahead of the recovering Szabó and Nagy, extending his title lead in the process. Igor Stefanovski finished fourth with Peter Rikli fifth having been second at one stage before brake issues intervened. Petr Fulín started from the back row but finished sixth in his understeering SEAT with Fábio Mota seventh and Mladen Lalušić eighth, which gave the Serbian driver pole for the reverse grid second race. Andreas Pfister pitted on the final lap with a puncture but was classified ahead of ETCC newcomer Rudolf Pesovic. Alexandr Artemyev, who was stripped of pole position for not stopping for a weight during Saturday qualifying, finished P10 having received a time penalty for a track limits infringement.

The winners of the FIA European Touring Car Cup’s Super 2000 and Super 1600 categories were honoured at the ETCC Awards Ceremony, which took place beneath the Eiffel Tower on the banks of the River Seine in Paris this evening.
Kris Richard (Switzerland) and Niklas Mackschin (Germany) collected their trophies for winning the ETCC Super 2000 Cup and ETCC Super 1600 Cup respectively as the all-action ETCC season was celebrated in the French capital.
Other drivers recognised during the evening included Petr Fulín (Czech Republic) and Norbert Nagy (Hungary), who finished second and third in ETCC S2000, plus Germans Andreas Rinke and Kevin Hilgenhövel, who placed second and third in ETCC S1600. There was also recognition for the German motorsport federation, the DMSB, following its victory in the ETCC Nations’ Cup.
François Ribeiro, Head of Eurosport Events, the ETCC promoter, joined FIA representatives Zoltán Balla and Rod Parkin in presenting the trophies to the various winners.
Kris Richard (Switzerland, Honda Civic): S2000 position: First Points: 109 Wins: 5 Poles: 1 Fastest laps: 1
“I am very happy to be ETCC champion at my first attempt. Looking back, I have two races that really mattered to me. The first was in Le Castellet, this was not a good race but in the first race they put me into a spin and I did the fastest lap with a bad rear axle and that was one of my best races. And also winning at the Nürburgring, the best race track on the planet and that was also one of the best races of course. I hope I can continue with touring cars next year and I hope also with Honda but what comes next I don’t know.”
Niklas Mackschin (Germany, Ford Fiesta): S1600 position: First Points: 138 Wins: 8 Poles: 3 Fastest laps: 6
“To win this title again makes me happy and proud. Thanks to my team for a really good job all season and last season when I won the title for the first time. I hope to drive in Super 2000 next year, hopefully against Petr and Kris. I really hope and it looks good. It has been a good season for me with lots of wins and some interesting battles. I am already looking to the future.”
The 2017 FIA European Touring Car Cup season gets underway at Monza in Italy from 28-30 April. Visits to the Hungaroring, Nürburgring Nordschleife, Vila Real, Zolder and newcomer Most follow with the Czech venue hosting the action from 6-8 October.
