From: http://www.touringcartimes.com/article.php?id=5230Priaulx takes sixth win of the year with BMW 1-2BMW drivers Andy Priaulx and Augusto Farfus made the most of their rear wheel drive and left the rest of the pack and the ensuing drama behind them as they took a commanding BMW one-two in the second race at Oschersleben.There was no stopping Andy Priaulx as he quickly cut through the first row and stole the lead before the first corner. He could then control the race easily with Augusto Farfus following close behind.Behind them though the drama was high with several SEAT's in the lead role. Norbert Michelisz and Michael Nykjaer both made good starts to hold on to second and third respectively around the first lap. Behind them though fellow SEAT driver Tiago Monteiro was on a mission and he first pushed Nykjaer out of the way to take third, with Nykjaer falling several places. Monteiro then gave Michelisz the same favour and pushed him out of the way for second place with Michlelisz falling back through the field. Race directors felt that was enough and promptly handed Monteiro a drive through penalty.Michelisz was involved in more contact later in the race as both Rob Huff and Gabriele Tarquini touched the SEAT as they went past him, leaving Michelisz out of the points.The drama all played into the hands of championship leader Yvan Muller who took over third place and finishing off what has been a very good weekend for the Frenchman. With only Priaulx of the title rivals ahead of him in the race Muller leaves Germany with a healty lead in the total standings.Michael Nykjaer made an excellent comeback after the coming together with Monteiro and finished fourth, underlining what has been an impressive weekend for the Danish rookie. Another Dane that impressed at Oschersleben was Kristian Poulsen who took his second Independents win for the weekend, and this time by finishing sixth overall just behind Tom Coronel.Rob Huff got some revenge for his black flag in the first race by taking seventh in an inspired charge through the field, passing team mate Alain Menu easily on the last lap.01 Andy Priaulx 14 Laps02 Augusto Farfus Jr. +2.72903 Yvan Muller +8.74004 Michel Nykjaer +10.30405 Tom Coronel +10.98206 Kristian Poulsen +11.98907 Robert Huff +16.69108 Alain Menu +17.24309 Gabriele Tarquini +17.91910 Jordi Gené +19.193
