On the first weekend in August (4 - 6 August), the DTM will be at full throttle at the Nürburgring. 27 drivers will fight for important championship points with their GT3 cars on the sprint version of the Grand Prix circuit. The leading team also has the shortest journey: The Nürburgring-based Manthey EMA Porsche ranks at the top of the standings with its driver Thomas Preining and 88 points. In addition to the action on the track with two main races on Saturday and Sunday, fans can also look forward to an attractive supporting programme.
While the colourful field of the DTM will be battling it out for the winner in the one-hour races, the spectators can look forward to an especially large number of adrenalin moments. This is because the 3.6-kilometre short sprint version of the Nürburgring's Grand Prix circuit guarantees that the Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-AMG and Porsche cars will be thundering past the grandstands particularly often. In addition to the thrilling DTM action, exciting motorsport is also on offer at the supporting races. The ADAC GT4 Germany, the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland, the BMW M2 Cup and the all-electric NXT Gen Cup will also be guests at the legendary race track in the Eifel.
Fan area for big and small fans
There will also be a lot for visitors to experience next to the race track. For example, in the new DTM fan zone in the middle of the paddock. Here, the DTM stars will be up close and personal at the "Meet the drivers", but there will also be face painting for children, a DTM Reaction Wall and Europe's largest mobile ball pool with 85,000 balls.
Tickets include access to the paddock and the pitwalk
Thanks to a new structure developed by the ADAC, DTM tickets are available for as little as 39 euros at nuerburgring.de/dtm. ADAC members receive a discount of ten per cent in advance sales. Children and young people under the age of 16 are admitted free of charge when accompanied by an adult. Access to the paddock and the pitwalk is included in all tickets.
DTM focuses on sustainability
The topic of sustainability is in pole position in the DTM. For the first time, an environmentally friendly and innovative fuel from Shell, which consists of 50 per cent renewable components, will be used in the racing cars. The fuel thus makes a significant contribution to C02 reduction. With BWT, the ADAC is consistently continuing the path it has taken to avoid plastic waste. In the paddock of the DTM events, water dispensers provide freshly treated drinking water.
