Mattias Ekstrom admits he hasn't felt as comfortable in hi🉐s Audi cockpit for a 💮long time following an upturn in form for the former double-DTM champion.

Ekstrom heads to the🌸 Nurburgring in a co꧋nfident mood after finishing first on the road at the Norisring, only to be later disqualified for his infamous water bottle Parc Ferme incident, and after taking a strong second place last time out at Moscow.

The 35-year old, technically, hꦦasn't added to his 17 race victories since Valencia 2011 and✅ also, going back even further, hasn't clinched a DTM title since 2007.

However, the Swede insists h♐is rediscoverꦛed ease within his Audi puts him in with a chance of taking top honours next weekend at Nurburgring.

"I've celebr🐻ated many successes at the N?rburgring and am looking forward to returning to the Eif🎀el," said Ekstrom.

"At the moment, I'm feeling more comfortable in the cockpit and the team than I have in a long time. That's why I think that we've got good🥂 chances of winning the next big trophy. My aim is to win the race."
