Priaulx eyes rookie prize

THE show event has passed and now Andy Priaulx has his sights set firmly on the second half of the 2012 DTM.

The DTM stopped off in Munich at the weekend for an exhibition that did not count towards the championship.

The drivers now have a short summer break before the series resumes at the Nurburgring on 19 August.

'I am still going on the confidence from the good result in the Norisring and I feel the Nurburgring is going to be even better for us,' Priaulx said.

'I have a test before that so can do some fine-tuning to the car. I want a really strong finish to the year, my goal has to be the best rookie, and I am two points off that at the moment.'
