Info about the event

Most recently, the DTM competed on two occasions at the Nürburgring back in 2001 – at that time, too, first on the Grand Prix circuit and later on the short circuit. However, the lap times can no longer be compared because the circuit is 592 metres longer now since a track modification with the integration of the arena. On two consecutive weekends this year, the DTM will start first on the long version of the circuit and then on the short version.

Track description by René Rast

“I have had a very special relationship with the Nürburgring for a long time. On no other race track have I driven more often than there. I won the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and most recently my second DTM title. So I associate many impressive and beautiful moments and emotions with the so-called Green Hell. For the first time in a long time, the DTM is back on the Grand Prix circuit, which I know well from the 24-hour race, of course. I'm really looking forward to driving this version with the Audi RS 5 DTM.”
