Mattias Ekstrom admits 🎃he hasn't felt as comfortable in his Audi cockpit for a long time following an upturn in form for the fo⭕rmer double-DTM champion.

Ekstrom heads to the Nurburgring in a confident 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, h🌸asn'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 his rediscove🦩red ease within his Audi puts him in with a chance of taking top honours next weekend at Nurburgring.

"I've celebrated many successes at the N?🐟rburgring and 💛am looking forward to returning to the Eifel," 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 winnin𒊎g the next big trophy. My aim i♑s to win the race."
