Foreword
Dear Media Representatives,
if you don’t go forwards you go backwards. This is particularly true
when it comes to the motor-racing world. Therefore, DTM has kept on
developing in each of its more than 30 years of history. More often
than not, these developments were just fine-tuning measures but
occasionally, the product DTM made major steps forward. The beginning
of the ‘new’ DTM era, in 2000, was one of these milestones and the
introduction of the new, trend-setting regulations in 2012 was another.
Now, in the 2015 season, DTM is making the next big step: with immediate effect, we are going to contest two races per weekend – one on
Saturday, one on Sunday.
For the fans, this means even more thrilling race action: thanks to two practice sessions, to qualifying
sessions and two races, the DTM vehicles will be in action several times on every day of the race
weekends. For the drivers and the teams, the new format results in a changed scope of work as there
are – apart from the additional race on Saturday – several other important innovations. The two qualifying
sessions, for instance, last just 20 minutes – no tactical manoeuvres, no waiting, the only way is flat out.
And in 2015, not the best pit strategy will be crucial when it comes to winning or losing but the driver
skills again will be the crucial factor: there won’t be any obligatory pit stops in the 40-minute race on
Saturday and while the drivers have to pit for a fresh set of tyres in the second third of the 60-minute
race on Sunday, the option tyres aren’t available, any more. Meanwhile, the proven DRS has been refined
and consequently, there arguably will be even more room for overtaking, in the future.
Why we opted for making all these changes? That’s easy: because we listened to our visitors and
spectators to then respond to their desires. When the ITR board is meeting with the Audi, BMW and
Mercedes-Benz representatives in charge of their DTM projects, the most extensively discussed topic
always is the question how we can increase the attractiveness of our races for the fans on site, the TV
audience and the increasing number of those who follow the DTM action via their mobile devices and
PCs. Together with our partner DMSB, we then implement these ideas by dint of new regulations that are
supposed to be fair, safe, checkable and controllable and – in this day and age – definitely cost efficient.
We continued this ongoing process this winter with a lot of verve and are delighted with having the
chance of presenting you with the result, in the coming months: a DTM providing fascinating and thrilling
motor racing at the highest level.

Media Service
Media Service
Media site
The media site, www.dtm.com/media, provides
you all the information on DTM. The latest press
releases, rights-free images of tests and races
plus portraits of the drivers, Motorsport Directors
and Heads of Motorsport respectively as well
as ITR board members can be downloaded for
editorial use. The DTM Media Guide, press kits and
regulations also are available as PDF files. And on
the race weekends, the media site will provide
you with additional up-to-date information on and
around the respective event.
Accreditation
Accreditation for all DTM events is exclusively
carried out online after prior registration at www.
dtm.com/media, using the menu item ‘Accreditation 2015’. Please submit all the required documents in the online accreditation system. To do so,
please use the ‘Manage documents’ function and
upload your documents (valid press card, proof of
journalistic activities, etc.). The waiver of liability
must be signed on site and is a prerequisite for
being provided with your media accreditation.
Please meet the relevant accreditation deadlines.
Media accreditations for DTM events include the
right to make any texts, audio recordings and
pictures in the form of stills or bursts (photos)
created during the respective event available to third
parties for editorial purposes. Any use of photo cameras for shooting videos is prohibited without the
respective filming permit. And the same applies to
the post processing of sequential images, bursts
or sequenced shots for creating video footage.
The individual image must remain clearly
recognisable when used. Any use for advertising or
commercial purposes is only permitted after having
consulted ITR e. V. Questions concerning national or
international filming permits please should be put
– via the media site – to _wige MARKETING gmbh.
Accreditation office
The accreditation office at DTM events is located in close proximity to the race track, outside the circuit facilities. The way to the office is
clearly signposted. The opening hours usually will be
as follows:
• Friday: 10:00 to 19:00hrs
• Saturday: 07:30 to 19:00hrs

Press parking
A regular shuttle service is operated between the
designated press parking area and the media
centre during all DTM events, supposed to exclusively be used by media-accreditation holders.
Press conferences
In a first press conference, on Friday afternoon,
three drivers – one per manufacturer – look ahead
to the race weekend to come. Both on Saturday
and Sunday, the presentation ceremony will be
followed by a DTM press conference featuring the
three best-placed drivers. And On Sunday, after
the second race, those at the helm of the three
manufacturers’ DTM projects will be available for
a weekend review. In addition, selected drivers
can be interviewed in the foyer of the press centre
when the press conference is over.
Media Service

DTM Preview
Enthralling touring-car racing: the 2015 DTM season will be contested by 24 drivers
2015 season provides extra dose of DTM action
With its 2015 season, DTM
starts into a new era. With
immediate effect, the 24
touring-car aces will have to
compete with one another for
positions, points and race
wins twice per weekend.
With two qualifying sessions and two races,
they will have nearly no time for a breather.
For the fans, the new format means: more DTM
on-track action, more excitement and more comprehensible races as only one tyre compound is
used, this year. A major plus – and not only for
the spectators. The drivers also look forward
to the innovations, as they will spend more
DTM Preview
comprehensible races as only one tyre compound
is used, this year. A major plus – and not only for
the spectators. The drivers also look forward to the
innovations, as they will spend more time behind
the wheel, in the future. “Furthermore, a poor
result doesn’t necessarily mean that you clearly
fall behind in the championship,” says Christian
Victories, the best-placed Mercedes-Benz driver
in the two previous seasons.
Fans and drivers will have to adapt to a completely new time schedule: on Friday afternoon and
Saturday morning, two practice sessions offer
the drivers the chance of working on the set-up.
The Saturday round will be a 40-minute race
without obligatory tyre change while the Sunday
race duration amounts top 60 minutes and in this
race, making a pit stop for a fresh set of tyres is
stipulated. Furthermore, their will be a 20-minute
qualifying session prior to each race. For the organisers, a starting grid for the Sunday race based
on the Saturday-race result wasn’t an option as
the drivers are supposed to have the same chances in both races and therefore, possible problems
on Saturday shouldn’t result in a poor position on
the Sunday grid.
Improved DRS supposed to make
for more overtaking manoeuvres
To keep on supporting thee drivers when it
comes to overtaking, the use of the DRS has been
refined. This year, the drivers may use the system
three times and wherever they feel the need to
do so. On the other hand, the gap to the driver
ahead mustn’t be bigger than a second, this year,
while two seconds were enough in the 2014
season. The distance always will be measured at
the start / finish line. At the same time, the angle
of the opened rear wing also has been increased
to maximise the DRS effect.
Also new: the option tyre has been abolished. The
standard tyre is the only one used for the racing in
dry conditions. “This step definitely will increase
the comprehensibility of the races,” says Dieter
Gas, Head of the Audi DTM project. “Now, every
023
overtaking manoeuvre will really be relevant for
the course of the race.”
Well-rehearsed Audi squad
For the first time since the start into the new DTM
era, back in 2000, the grid will feature 24 cars
and drivers. Audi Sport relies on consistency, when
it comes to the driver line-up. None of the Audis
RS 5 DTM will be raced by a new driver and they
all will contest the season for the same teams
as last year. Mattias Ekström who leaped up to
the second position in the 2014 championship
by winning the final two rounds of the season
once again will once again be teamed-up with
Miguel Molina and represent the Audi Sport Team
Abt Sportsline colours. Mike Rockenfeller and
Timo Scheider will keep on racing for Eifel based
Phoenix Racing. Edoardo Mortara and Adrian
Tambar will contest the season for Audi Sport
Team Abt and Audi Sport Team Romberg will
once again rely on the services of the fourth Audi
pairing, Jamie Green and Nico Müller.
The reigning champion: DTM-Champion Marco
Wittmann (BMW).

while, Bruno Spengler and António Félix da Costa
switch teams: Spengler will contest the 2015 season for BMW Team MTEK and consequently will be
the team-mate of Timo Gluck while Felix da Costa
switches to BMW Team Schnitzler where he will be
teamed-up with Martin Tomczyk.
DTM rookie: Tom Blomqvist (BMW).
New face at BMW
BMW signed rookie Tom Blomqvist who replaces
US-American Joey Hand. The Briton’s father, Stag
Blomqvist, was a famous rally driver and won the
1984 World Rally Championship. In 2014, before
advancing to DTM, his son finished runner-up in
the FIA Formula 3 European Championship. He will
race together with Augusto Farfus for BMW Team
RBM. Reigning DTM Champion Marco Wittmann
remains loyal to his squad BMW Team RMG. Maxime Martin who won the Moscow round in his
debut season and secured the ‘Rookie of the Year’
trophy also will keep on racing for RMG. Mean-
Eight Mercedes-Benz vehicles on the grid
Major changes at Mercedes-Benz: for the first
time since 2012, the brand with the star will
contest the season with eight cars. To do so, the
Stuttgarters also signed a new team: ART Grand
Prix. The French squad already celebrated numerous successes in single-seater racing and will be
represented by the experienced DTM ace Gary
Paffett and Lucas Auer. The latter is the nephew
of Formula 1 legend Gerhard Berger, contested
the 2013 and 2014 FIA Formula 3 European
Championship seasons to finish fourth in both
years. The second rookie is Maximilian Götz. He
has been racing in the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
GT3, in the past four years, and won several races
and championships. Götz will be Daniel Juncadella’s team-mate at Mücke Motorsport. Meanwhile,
HWA AG will be represented by a total of four
drivers: with Christian Vietoris / Paul Di Resta as
The 2015 DTM racers (from left to right): Audi RS 5 DTM, Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM and BMW M4 DTM.

well as Pascal Wehrlein / Robert Wickens being
the driver pairings. Last year at the Lausitzring,
Wehrlein made history by becoming the youngest
DTM-race winner in the history of the sport.
To be able to cope with 18 instead of 10 races, the
teams opted for doing without some days of testing. As it was the case in 2014, six of this year’s
nine race weekends will be held in Germany, with
the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg traditionally being the venue of the season kick-off in May
and the season finale in October. The second round
of the season will be contested at the Lausitzring,
not far from Berlin. From there, DTM will travel to
Nuremberg for the first season highlight, the street
race at the Norisring. In July and August, DTM will
be racing abroad: at Zandvoort’s dune circuit, the
Spielberg rollercoaster and the Moscow Raceway.
Afterwards, DTM will return to Germany to race
at the Motorsport Arena Oschersleben. And in
New face in DTM: Maximilian Götz (Mercedes-Benz).

races for the
new team ART
Grand Prix.
September, the Nürburgring will stage the penultimate race of the season.
More race action in
the DTM support programme
In addition to DTM, the motor-racing enthusiasts
will be provided quite a lot of other race action.
And the season kick-off at Hockenheim will feature a special highlight: a round of the World Rallycross Championship. The FIA Formula 3 European Championship and the Porsche Carrera Cup
Germany have been DTM partner series for many
years and this year, the all new Audi Sport TT Cup
is added to the programme – a young-driver touring car category that certainly will make for a lot
of thrilling action. During the course of the season,
numerous other single-seater and touring-car
series will make guest appearances in the DTM
support programme.
As usual, DTM’s German TV partner will provide all
those who had to stay at home a spectacular DTM
coverage. Both races will be covered live and can
be watched at ARD in full length.

Audi: Eyeing the No 1
Audi has got a clear strategic goal: the brand with
the four rings is supposed to become the No 1 in
the premium-car segment. And in DTM, Audi also
are eyeing the No 1: having won the manufacturers’ title in 2014, they also want to retrieve the
drivers’ championship, this year. In the tough competition with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi relies
for the 2015 season on proven, familiar forces:
the same three teams, the same eight drivers and
exactly the Audi RS 5 DTM that proved to be the
car to be beaten, in the closing stages of the 2014
season. As enhancing the car in the off-season
was prohibited by the regulations, Audi focused on
brining the existing package to perfection. “During
the pre-season tests, the feedback of our drivers
was positive,” says Dieter Gass, Audi Sport’s head
of DTM. “We prepared optimally but our competitors also weren’t inactive. The competitiveness
in DTM was extremely close, last year, and this
won’t change in 2015. So, the form on the day will
be crucial. And that’s exactly what characterises
DTM.” The biggest changes for the forthcoming
season were made regarding the race weekends.
The number of events was reduced from ten to
nine but on every DTM weekend, the teams and
drivers will have to contest two races instead of
just one. A first in the more than 30 years of DTM
history and the entire squad meticulously prepared
for this new challenge.

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline: ‘Die Äbte’ (the abbots)
The globally leading refiner of Volkswagen group
vehicles is a family enterprise based in Germany’s
Allgäu region that is run by Jürgen Abt, today. Apart
from Audi Sport Team Joest in the sports-prototype area, it has been the longest-standing and most
successful Audi works team. From 2000 to 2003,
the squad raced in DTM as independent team with
the Abt-Audi TT-R and won the title in 2002. Some
50 staff members attend to the squad’s four Audis
RS 5 DTM. To allow for a perfect preparation of
their racing cars, Abt opened a 2,400-squaremetre motor-sport centre in Kempten, last year, that
also is used by Audi for preparing the new Audi
Sport TT Cup.

Audi Sport Team Phoenix: Audi partners in DTM for 10 years
Since 2006, Audi Sport and Phoenix Racing have
been partners in DTM. In this period of time, the squad
of Ernst Moser has firmly established itself as
an institution on the DTM grid. In the past five
years, Phoenix Racing won two DTM Drivers’
Championships and four times in this period of time, Phoenix Racing drivers were the
best-placed Audi drivers in the championship.
The committed squad is one of the most experienced DTM teams and also is an important Audi
partner when it comes to GT racing: Phoenix Racing
is one of the two teams to run and prepare the
new Audi R8 LMS for the delivery to the customers
on behalf of Audi Sport customer racing, this year.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg: Back to the top
Team Rosberg was founded 20 years ago by former
Formula 1 World Champion Keke Rosberg. His son
Nico made his first steps on the motor-racing ladder
in his father’s team. Since 2006, the squad around
Team Principal Arno Zensen has been racing in
DTM and consequently, it will contest its 10th
DTM season, this year. In 2012, Audi Sport Team
Rosberg secured two race wins and was the best
of the teams representing the brand with the four
rings. In the 2015 season, the team based in ‘Neustadt an der Weinstraße’ that specialises – in addition to its motor-racing activities – with its subsidiary TRE in engineering services for the automotive
industry wants to tie in with these successes.

BMW: Hungry for more
In 2012, after a break of nearly 20 years, DTM
made their DTM comeback to tie in with the successes they had celebrated with the titles secured
in 1984, 1987 and 1989. In the comeback season, the Bavarian manufacturer was represented
on the DTM grid by three teams and six drivers
racing the BMW M3 DTM. And just as it had
been the case 23 years ago, when Team Principal Charly Lamm and his squad made their DTM
debut. Bruno Spengler celebrated four race wins
and BMW Team RBM driver Augusto Farfus added another success to the BMW tally. In the final
race of the season, Spengler secured the drivers’
championship, with BMW Team Schnitzer winning
the team title and BMW the manufacturers’ trophy.
In the 2013 season, BMW extended their DTM
involvement and contested the season with eight
BMW M3 DTM racers. The BMW camp was joined
by BMW Team MTEK as well as the drivers Marco
Wittmann and Timo Glock. The season ended with
five race wins and the successful defence of the
manufacturers’ title. Farfus and Spengler finished
second and third respectively in the drivers’ championship and Wittmann secured the ‘Rookie of the
Year’ trophy.
In 2014, BMW entered a new car: the BMW M4 DTM.
In its maiden race, the season opener at Hockenheim,
the BMW M4 DTM celebrated its first DTM triumph
courtesy of Marco Wittmann. At the same time, this
success was BMW’s 60th DTM win. Afterwards,
Wittmann clinched another three wins. The BMW
Team RMG driver dominated the season and as early
as two races before the season was over, he was celebrated as youngest champion in the DTM history.
In the penultimate race at Zandvoort, BMW Team
RMG secured the team trophy. Earlier in the season,
at Moscow, Wittmann’s team mate Maxime Martin
won his first DTM race and at the end of the season, he followed his team-mate’s footsteps as ‘Rookie
of the Year’. In the race at Spielberg, BMW celebrated their first one-two-three-four since their comeback: Wittmann crossed the line as race winner and
Farfus, Glock and Martin Tomczyk followed close behind.

BMW Team MTEK: Experience galore
On the 2015 grid, BMW Team MTEK will be represented by the arguably most renowned driver pairing in the
BMW Motorsport camp. One of the squad’s two drivers
is Timo Glock who has got 91 F1 races and three F1 podiums under his belt. In the 2013 DTM season finale he
celebrated his first and only DTM win to date. Spengler
is teamed-up with Bruno Spengler, winner of 14 DTM races and 2012 DTM Champion. This combination is supposed to give BMW Team MTEK successful results, this
year. While Glock has been racing for the Garching (near
Munich) based team since he entered DTM is going to
contest his third DTM season for them, now, Spengler
just joined the team for his 11th DTM season.

BMW Team RBM: Belgian winners of numerous titles
When BMW Team RBM entered DTM in 2012, the
expectations were high. After all, Bart Mampaey
and his squad had not only won the ETCC but
also secured the World Championship title three
consecutive times – from 2007 to 2009. In DTM,
BMW Team RBM once again quickly established
as one of the front-runners. Augusto Farfus crowned
his debut season (2012) by winning the Valencia
round. In 2013, the Brazilian secured three race wins
and finished second in the drivers’ championship.
Last year, however, the team had to cope with a
win-less season and therefore, it is even more motivated for 2015. Farfus will be teamed-up with a
new team-mate, this year: Tom Blomqvist.

BMW Team RMG: Eifel based champions
Following the gorgeous year 2014, BMW Team
RMG enters the 2015 season with boosted
confidence. Marco Wittmann won four races,
clinched three poles and secured the title in superior style. At the same time, his team-mate, rookie
Maxime Martin, delivered his first DTM masterpiece by winning at the ‘Moscow Raceway’. This
means that 50 percent of the 2014 races were
won by the Niederzissen based team – as well as
the drivers’ title courtesy of Marco Wittmann and
the trophy for the best team. In the 2015 season,
Team Principal Stefan Reinhold sticks to the motto
“Never change a winning team’ and keeps on
relying on his successful pairing Wittmann/Martin.

BMW Team Schnitzer: Successful team from Upper Bavaria
More tradition just isn’t available: For more than 50
years, now, BMW and Schnitzer have been motorracing partners. The list of the joint successes
is long. Indeed, wins secured by the Freilassing
based team relying on the power from Munich somehow are regarded as cultural assets. Therefore,
the Bavarian driver Martin Tomczyk suits the team
perfectly. Meanwhile, Portugal’s António Félix da
Costa who switched to the team around Charly
Lamm, for his second DTM season, will make for the
juvenile impetus and the internationality. In 1989
and 2012, BMW Team Schnitzer already won the
DTM title. Tying in with theses successes in 2015
is the declared goal of the experienced team.

Mercedes-Benz DTM Team with renewed vigour
All set for the 2015 DTM season – the eight Mercedes-Benz works drivers are ready for the fresh
challenge. Six of them contested the DTM last season
for the brand with the three-pointed star, while
Lucas Auer and Maximilian Götz are new to the team.
Both newcomers are firmly established in the world of motor racing with Mercedes Benz. During the
past two years, 20-year-old Austrian Lucas Auer
has successfully lined up for Prema Powerteam
and Mücke Motorsport in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, utilising Mercedes power. He
placed second in the 2014 Macau Grand Prix at
the legendary Guia street circuit.
28-year-old Maximilian Götz is the perfect example of a driver successfully making the move up
from Mercedes-AMG’s Customer Sport Programme to the DTM. He has driven a SLS AMG GT3 for
the past four years. He joins the DTM this year as
reigning Blancpain Sprint Series champion.
In all, there are two DTM champions and five DTM
race winners in the Mercedes-Benz team of drivers.
Apart from 2005 DTM champion Gary Paffett and
Paul Di Resta, who won in 2010, these are Robert
Wickens, Christian Vietoris and Pascal Wehrlein.
Mercedes junior Wehrlein is the youngest winner
of a race in the history of the series after his victory at the Lausitzring in 2014. Daniel Juncadella, who
will be contesting his third DTM season in 2015,
completes the line-up. The Spaniard acted as a
F1 test driver at Force India-Mercedes last season and was reigning champion in both the F3
Euro Series and in the FIA F3 European Championship when he made the switch to the DTM in 2013.
The eight Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTMs will be fielded by Mercedes-Benz DTM development
partner HWA AG, by Berlin-based team Mücke
Motorsport and by French newcomers to the
DTM, ART GP. Gary Paffett has opted to tackle a
fresh challenge at ART GP this coming season.
Using experience gained in the course of eleven
DTM seasons to date, the British driver will
lead the new entrants to the DTM, as they
build their team and get to know the vehicle.

ART Grand Prix
Mercedes-Benz and ART Grand Prix can look back on a
successful long-term partnership in Formula 3. ART
Grand prix was founded in 1996 by Frédéric Vasseur
under the name ASM F3 Team. Following successful
early years in Formula 3, the team advanced to the
then newly created GP2 Series and in 2005 and 2006,
ART Grand Prix was the team of the first two champions in the history of the series: today’s Formula 1
aces Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton. During the
course of their Formula 3 careers, Formula 1 drivers
such as Sebastian Vettel, Romain Grosjean, Nico
Hülkenberg, Valtteri Bottas and Pastor Maldonado as
well as Mercedes-Benz DTM ace Paul Di Resta also
raced for ART Grand Prix.

DTM Technology
High-tech
Keeping the costs under control while providing
motor racing at a high technical level – these are
the corner points of the technical DTM regulations.
In 2012, all the manufacturers involved agreed
upon the guidelines that have – to a large extent
– remained in force until today. And the technical
regulations also will remain virtually untouched
throughout the 2015 season. To keep the costs
on a consistent level, the manufacturers keep on
relying on control components. Nonetheless, the
engineers have got enough latitude in the areas
aerodynamics, suspension and engine for clearly
defining the unique characteristics of the respective manufacturer.
Despite the regulations having been stable for
years, now, there again and again have been
fine-tuning measures in certain areas. So, the
performance weights introduced in 2014 will once
again be used, this year – but the weight changes
only will come into effect after the second race
of the respective weekend. And there also will be
changes in the tyre area, this year: DTM keeps on
cooperating with tyre partner Hankook but there
won’t be option tyres available, in 2015. All the
cars will contest all the races on the standard
tyres. This step mainly was made to improve the
comprehensibility of the races. Furthermore, every
driver now will be supplied with for sets of fresh
tyres for the two qualifying sessions and the two
races. The decision when and how these sets of
tyres are used is up to the teams and drivers.
It goes without saying that safety also represents a crucial factor, in DTM. All the vehicles
feature six crash structures at the sides as
well as at the front and the rear. In addition,
the drivers are protected by a combination
of control monocoque and control roll cage.
The integrated safety tank also is supposed
to prevent bad consequences in the case of
an accident.
The most important technical-regulation facts
Aerodynamics All the DTM vehicles are equipped with control rear wings: a mono wing with a
laminated Gurney. The inclination may be‚ adjusted
from 10 to 25° (Norisring 5 to 25°). In addition,
there are special diffusers at the front and
the back, the underbody with a 30mm skid
block as well as two areas (one per side)
at the vehicle front where mounting flaps is allowed.
Brakes Hydraulic dual-circuit brake system,
ventilated carbon-fibre brake discs at the front and
the rear. The brake-power distributor can infinitely
be adjusted by the driver. All the three manufacturers have to use carbon-fibre brakes,
brake pads and brake callipers supplied by the
manufacturer AP. Over the course of the season,
three sets of brake discs for the front and the rear
may be used per car.
DTM Technology
Chassis A roll cage made of high-strength steel is
directly connected with the carbon-fibre monocoque.
DRS The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is a tiltable
rear wing allowing for a higher top speed for a short
period of time. This system is supposed to make
the overtaking easier. The system is triggered
by pressing a button on the steering wheel. The rear
wing moves back into its standard position when the
driver slows down or a certain level of lateral forces
is exceeded. This is supposed to prevent a car
from getting unstable by the reduced downforce.
Electronics All the manufacturers involved in
DTM work with an engine control unit supplied
by Bosch. They are allowed write the software for
the ECU themselves. Data transfer while the car is
driving is prohibited.
Suspension The DTM vehicles feature independent suspension at the front and the rear as well
as twin wishbones. The gas assisted shock absorbers are adjustable
Gearbox Just one control gearbox-differential unit
has been approved for DTM and consequently is
used by all the manufacturers.
Weight The total weight of a DTM car including its
driver, his racing gear and helmet as well as 15kg
performance weights adds up to 1,120kg. The
use of the performance weights is determined by
the sporting regulations depending on the results
achieved in the previous races. The performance
weights are identical 2.5kg wolfram blocks that
are mounted on the car’s underbody at a defined
spot located in the area of the drivers’ feet. The
weight changes only will come into effect for the
following event. So, there won’t be any weight changes between the first and second rounds of a
race meeting. A driver mustn’t get rid of more than
15kg and the maximum additional weight he has
to take aboard amounts to 20kg. So, the maximum
081
weight difference between the lightest and the
heaviest car on the grid will add up to 35kg.
Fuel The only fuel that is allowed to be used is the
one stipulated for the respective event (ARAL Ultimate 102). The tank capacity amounts to 118 litres.
Power train All the cars feature rear-wheel drive,
a four-disc clutch and sequential six-speed gearbox.
Steering wheel The steering wheel may be
adapted to a driver’s individual liking. The gears
are changed by paddles mounted at the steering
wheel. The systems that can be controlled via the
wheel have been stipulated, such as the pit radio, the beverage pump, the pit-lane speed limiter,
the water-spray system for cooling the brakes,
the windscreen wiper, the starter, the RDS – and
changing to gear 0 also is executed via the wheel.
Dimensions Length: 4.650mm (without rear
wing), width: 1.950mm, height: 1.150mm, wheel
base 2.750mm, maximum track width 1.950mm
Engines In DTM, solely 90-degree V8 engines
with a maximum displacement of four litres and
four valves per cylinder may be used. The air-inlet
system must be equipped with two air restrictors
with a maximum diameter of 25mm each. Only
one reserve engine per manufacturer and season
is allowed.
Tyres The tyres exclusively are supplied by
series partner Hankook. The front wheels are shod
with tyres of the Ventus family in the dimensions
300/680 – 18 and the rear wheels with the same
tyres in the dimensions 320/710 – 18. Other than
in the past two seasons, there won’t be an option
tyre. From this season, every driver may use four
fresh sets of tyres for the two qualifying sessions
and the two races.
Safety In the cockpit, the DTM driver is surrounded by an innovative combination of control monocoque and control roll cage. In addition, all the
DTM cars are equipped with crash structures at
the sides, the front and the rear that are supposed
to absorb energy in the case of an impact. Wearing
the Head And Neck Support system HANS became
obligatory as early as in 2002. Furthermore, the
DTM vehicles have got a removable hatch in the
roof, allowing for rescuing a driver gently, in the
case of an accident.

Audi: Attention to detail in narrow confines
The Audi RS 5 DTM Audi Sport will use for their
2015 title campaign technically fully conforms to
the version internally called ‘RC3’ the company
won the 2014 DTM Manufacturers’ Championship
with. To reduce the financial strains for the manufacturers, the technology was ‘frozen’ by homologation after the third round of the 2014 season.
Therefore, the Audi engineers used the off-season
to fully focus on detecting still unused potential
and optimising the existing package. The result
is a new, even more efficient basic set-up for the
2015 season. In addition, all the eight vehicles
were complete dismantled to then be carefully
reassembled in new Competence Centre Motor-
sport by the Audi Sport Teams Abt,
Phoenix and Rosberg on basis of the monocoques used last year. A procedure that took
some two weeks per RS 5 DTM. The body
that completely is made of carbon fibre sits
on a hybrid-construction chassis weighing just
160 kilos. The combination of carbon-fibre
monocoque, steel cage and crash elements
sets standards for touring-car racers. The Audi
RS 5 DTM is powered by a 340kW (460bhp)
V8 engine. The semi-automatic six-speed gearbox
is operated pneumatically via steering-wheel
paddles.

BMW M4 DTM – A winner right away
Whenever BMW Motorsport contested a DTM
season with a new car, it won the title right away.
This also applied to the BMW M4 DTM that made
its DTM debut in 2014. These huge triumphs in
the first season were made possible by an extensive testing and development phase. The first
prototype made its wind-tunnel debut in the BMW
Group’s Aero Lab as early as on 22nd April, 2013.
While continuing the aerodynamics tests, the
engineers also worked on creating the suspension. In December 2013, the new components
were tested for the first time on the racetrack –
then in a BMW M3 DTM. In January and February 2014, the four BMW teams could build the
first the copies of the new vehicle. Three months
after the first roll-out in February 2014, the car
contested its first race – the DTM season open
er at Hockenheim – and won it straight away.
Just as it is the case on the production car BMW
M4 Coupé, the air curtains at the front also reduce
the drag of the BMW M4 DTM. Narrowing air ducts
accelerate the air streaming through the front skirt
and systematically conduct it past the wheels,
thus reducing the turbulences in the wheel-house
area. Another striking characteristic of the BMW
M4 DTM is a board along the side duct that gives
the racing car a distinct contour. Furthermore, the
outside mirrors also were aerodynamically
optimised. In 2015, the successful racer from
Munich once again will go for it.

DTM Technical
The Mercedes-AMG C 63 DTM
The Mercedes-AMG DTM Team is going to contest
the 2015 DTM season with eight Mercedes-AMG
C 63 DTM vehicles. One of the most striking components of the car is the grille that is geared to the
ones of the AMG production car. The vehicle is the
successor of the AMG Mercedes C-Class, with 85
wins in 159 races the most successful car in the
30 years of DTM history. Development, design and
building of the DTM car began in June, 2010, at
HWA AG. The first chassis was assembled in June
2011, the first car was completed in August and
in early September at the Lausitzring, Gary Paffett
tested it for the first time.
The car was designed according to an improved
safety concept, with an innovative safety cell representing the core. Parts of it are an optimised
carbon-fibre monocoque and a roll cage made
from high-strength steel. For a better driver protection in the case of an accident, all the safety
relevant components, such as fire-extinguisher
system and tank, were integrated into the carbon-fibre chassis. Furthermore, each car is equipped with six crash absorbers that provide additional protection for the drivers at the front, back and
sides. These crash elements made from carbon fibre, (front and rear 61cm, sides 30cm) reduce the
energy in the case of an impact step by step and
consequently, the driver isn’t exposed to too high
deceleration forces. At the same time, other components systematically transmit the arising forces.
The safety concept jointly was developed by DTM
rights holder and promoter ITR e.V., DMSB and the
three manufacturers involved – Audi, BMW and
Mercedes-Benz. To test the DTM safety concept,
DMSB created a testing programme that was executed and analysed by the independent expert organisation DEKRA. In the pressure test, the lateral
crash structures can cope with a load of 360 kilo
Newton. In this test, the lateral monocoque wall
is exposed to a load of 36 tons, representing the
weight of about 31 compact cars.

DTM Sporting Regulations
Transparent Regulations
With a new, thrilling race format, DTM will provide its fans enthralling
motor racing, with the well-thought-our regulations making for neutrality and transparency.
The most important corner points of the sporting regulations
Crash recorder All the cars of the latest generation have to be equipped with crash recorder. The
competitors are obligated to enable the scrutineers
to readout the control crash recorders at any time.
line. To keep the car stable in corners and increase
the downforce should it prove to be necessary, the
system automatically is deactivated if a driver brakes or if the lateral forces exceed a certain value.
DRS The Drag Reduction System is supposed to
increase a vehicle’s top speed for a short time,
thus supporting a driver when trying to pass the
car driving ahead of him. To do so, the rear wing
is tilted down by 18 degrees (16 degrees to date)
and consequently, the downforce is reduced. From
the 2015 season, the system may be used three
times per lap and wherever the driver feels the
need to do so while the gap to the car ahead allowing a driver to activate the DRS was reduced to
one second, for 2015. The distance between the
cars always will be measured at the start / finish
Numbers Prior to the season, every driver was
allowed to select his number. The drivers will keep
these numbers throughout their DTM careers.
DRS If the driver presses the DRS button, the rear
wing is tilted down
Obligatory pit stops The race on Saturday
will be contested without an obligatory pit stop
while the drivers have to come in for an obligatory
stop in the Sunday round. In this stop, all the four
tyres have to be changed. The stop has to be made
during the second third of the race. Obligatory pit
stops mustn’t be made during a safety-car period.
When the safety-car comes in, the drivers have
got five laps to come in for their obligatory pit
stops. This also is the case if the stop should be
made outside of the prescribed pit-stop window, in
this case. Since the 2012 season, refuelling during
the race has been prohibited for safety reasons.
Parc-Fermé After having completed the first
timed qualifying lap, the vehicles are subjected
to the Parc-Fermé regulations. Up to the start of
the race, any changes on the cars are prohibited.
After the race, all the cars that were scored again
are subjected to the Parc-Fermé regulations,
with any changes on the car being prohibited.
Between race one and race two, the mechanics have to comply with a defined rest period.
In this period of time, the cars remain covered.
Performance weights Performance weights
have been used since the beginning of the 2014
season. The season kick-off at Hockenheim will be
contested by all the cars with a weight of 1120kg.
DTM Reglement
087
Pit stop Only in the Sunday race, making a pit stop is obligatory
Depending on the results, a driver has to take
aboard a maximum of 20kg and mustn’t get rid
of more than 15kg. There won’t be any weight
changes executed between the two rounds of a
race weekend. The changes caused by the results
secured on a given weekend only will come into
effect in the following event. The performance
weights are assigned according to the following
format: the race winner and all the drivers that
are racing for the same manufacturer and made
it to the top 10 will have to take an additional 5kg
aboard, while those drivers racing for the same
manufacturer who didn’t make it to the top 10
will have to cope with 2.5kg performance weight,
for the next race meeting. For the vehicles of the
second-best brand, the weight will remain unchanged. Those drivers of the third-best brand who
made it to the top 10 may get rid of 2.5kg and
those who didn’t make it to the top 10 may contest
the following race weekend with 5kg less aboard
their cars. Should all the three brands make it
to the podium, in a race, the weight assignment
remains unchanged. The results of the two races
of a weekend will be cleared and added respectively and the performance-weight result will come
into effect only on the following race weekend.
Qualifying The qualifying format was changed,
for the 2015 season. Prior to each race, the
drivers have to contest a 20-minute qualifying
he is going to complete as well as how many sets of
tyres available to him he wants to use. The pole is
secured by the driver who set the fastest lap time.
Races Two races are contested per weekend, with the scoring system for both races
being identical. The race on Saturday lasts 40
minutes and the drivers haven’t to come in for
an obligatory pit stop. The duration of the Sunday
race adds up to 60 minutes and every driver
must come in for an obligatory stop. During this
pit stop, all the four tyres have to be changed.
Radio Drivers and teams may communicate
with one another throughout the event via radio.
DTM’s German TV partner, ARD, offers the TV
audience the chance of partially listening to what
teams and drivers are talking about. Data transfer while the car is driving, however, is prohibited.
Rankings DTM comprises three season rankings:
the title DTM Champion is awarded the driver
with the biggest number of points on his tally.
The title DTM Team Champion is secured by the
team whose two drivers jointly scored the biggest
088
DTM Sporting Regulations
number of points. And the six best placed drivers
of a brand who made it to the top 10, in a race,
score points for the title DTM Brand Champion.
Safety Car The safety car is used for avoiding
race stoppages. When the safety car is ordered
to go out, all the marshals show waved yellow
flags and the shield ‘SC’. The safety car goes out
onto the track with activated flashing lights and
takes the position in front of the race leader. On
the lap when the safety car will return to the pit
lane, the yellow flashing lights are switched off.
After the crossing of the finish line, accompanied
by the showing of the green flag, the race is on
again. Overtaking and coming in for obligatory pit
completes a formation lap, with the drivers
completing a lap in the starting order before retaking their positions on the grid for the official start.
During this lap, the drivers work on getting their tyres and brakes to working temperature. Overtaking
is prohibited. Cameras survey every single slot on

the starting grid to detect any jump start. Jump
starts are penalised with drive-thru penalties.
Scoring system The scoring system for both
races is identical, with the points being awarded
according to the following format: 25-18-1512-10-8-6-4-2-1. There aren’t any extra points
awarded for the fastest race lap or the pole
position and there also aren’t any void results
Speed During the entire event, the pit-lane speed
limit amounts to 80kph. There are exceptions for
particularly narrow pit lanes such as the one of the
Norisring where the pit-lane speed is limited to 60kph.
Start The standing-start format is used for both
races. The starting grid is formed on staggered
rows and according to the result of the respective
qualifying session. Prior to the start, the field completes a formation lap, with the drivers completing
a lap in the starting order before re-taking their
positions on the grid for the official start. During
089
this lap, the drivers work on getting their tyres
and brakes to working temperature. Overtaking
is prohibited. Cameras survey every single slot on
the starting grid to detect any jump start. Jump
starts are penalised with drive-thru penalties.
Tyres Every driver will have available a certain
number of Hankook Ventus slicks and wets for a
DTM race meeting, comprising practice session,
qualifying sessions and races. On the first day of
the respective event, the tyres are allotted to the
competitors by the scrutineers. From this season,
there aren’t any option tyres any more. All the cars
will be equipped with the standard tyres. For the
two qualifying sessions and the two races, every
driver has four sets of drivers at his disposal and
it’s up to him when and how he uses these sets.

Umbrella organisation for the motorsport community
Sporting competitions require rules and referees
who monitor compliance. In German motorsport,
the DMSB (Deutscher Motor Sport Bund) performs
this role. It issues racing and track licences, trains
sport stewards and marshals, defines regulations
and thus assures fair, safe and thrilling motorsport.
The association also defines itself as a service
provider to all those who are involved in motorsport. This is particularly evident in the DTM. The
Technical Regulations were defined in long-term
and constructive collaboration with the participating car manufacturers and ITR e. V. The safety
features of the new DTM generation are an outstanding example among a multitude of details:
monocoque and safety cage, crash elements at
the front, rear and sides are of an identical design
for all DTM cars and ensure superior protection
also by international comparison. The DMSB experts were instrumental in developing and subjecting them to extensive crash tests. The success
of the cooperation has also been convincing on
an international level. As a result of a collaborative
relationship between the ITR, the DMSB and the
Japanese Automobile Association JAF the popular
Japanese Super GT will adopt the DTM Regulations starting this season. In the United States the
racing cars are to be fielded in races featuring the
style of the most popular international touring car
series in future as well. Protecting the interests of
German motor racers at all public and sporting levels is another one of the DMSB’s responsibilities.
As the national umbrella organisation, the DMSB
is a member of the FIA (Fédération Internationale
de l’Automobile) and the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme). In Germany, it represents
the interests of motor racers as a member of the
DOSB (Deutscher Olympischer Sport Bund).

ADAC – a proven partner of the DTM
Since 2001 the world’s second-largest automobile
club has been involved in the DTM – in manifold
ways. It is not only a partner but also the sporting
organiser of all German DTM races through its
local and regional clubs.
But ADAC not only stands for top-calibre sport but
also for a broad motorsport base. ADAC Motorsport in Munich with its regional and local clubs
organises around 3,300 events across Germany
every year.
The current calendar with top-calibre, junior and
club sport again features numerous highlights
in 2015: ADAC Rallye Deutschland from 20 to
23 August, which as the German round of the
FIA World Rally Championship is traditionally
held around Trier. With six German entrants
the ‘German Grand Prix’ at the Sachsenring
from 10 to 12 July 2015 is the pinnacle event of
motorcycle racing. Other highlights are the Int.
ADAC Truck Grand Prix, the ADAC 24-Hour Race
and the eight ADAC GT Masters weekends with
the 16 races being broadcasted live on ‘Sport1’,
the ADAC MX Masters Series, the ‘ADAC Rallye
Masters’ with the ‘ADAC OPEL Rallye Cup’ and
the German Rally Championship and the new the
ADAC Formula 4 that replaces the ADAC Masters
to now represent the entry-level platform to single-
seater racing for young talents, as well as numerous motorboat races with the ADAC Motorboat
Masters. The new ADAC Jetboot Cup is held for
the first time within this series.
The promotion of young talent is another high
priority. Whether rally, kart or formula, motorcycle
circuit or motocross racing: with its more than 18
million members ADAC is the ideal place to turn to
for any talent. The ADAC Sport Foundation, as well,
is active in promoting young racers, as well as in
the field of safety. In 2004, for example, the ADAC
Sport Foundation supported the subsequent fourtime Formula 1 World Champion Sebastian Vettel.

The best of Aral – for the DTM and its fans
Since the middle of the 2005 season the DTM
has been ‘powered by Aral Ultimate’ – relying on
the power of the high-performance fuel supplied
by the market leader in the German filling station
business. Since Aral’s entry as exclusive fuel
supplier and sponsor, the racing cars competing
in the DTM and its partner series have only been
using Aral Ultimate petrol. Since 2010 the DTM
has even been running with a unique innovation:
Aral Ultimate 102 – with 102 octanes.
The advanced fuel – like the crystal-clear Aral
Ultimate Diesel fuel developed in a parallel project
– sets new, pioneering benchmarks in terms
of combining performance with environmental protection – not only in the engines of the
DTM racers. At their filling stations, Aral customers
get the same fuel as the DTM stars. Aral Ultimate
fuels assure better performance, clean combustion, less fuel consumption and reduced emissions. This has only been possible because the fuel
researchers at Aral pursued new approaches
and developed completely new fuels, which
are currently produced in only one refinery and
supplied to Aral filling stations via a separate
logistics arrangement. Consequently, Aral’s
high-performance fuel meets another wish of the
DTM engineers: standard levels of high quality –
throughout the season.
This enables the teams to attune their engines
precisely to the fuel, and the drivers have the full
potential of their vehicles at their disposal on the
track. Thrilling races are thus again guaranteed in
2015. Aral Ultimate wishes all DTM teams and
fans a successful 2015 season.

The DTM drives with engine management from Bosch
As in previous years, Bosch is a DTM partner again
in 2014. The successful cooperation between
the automotive supplier and the racing series far
exceeds a normal sponsoring commitment. The
DTM vehicles have complex racing technology
from Bosch on board: all the racing cars used in
the series are equipped with engine control units
and displays from Bosch. Bosch’s engine control
units for racing and engine management software
allow individual adjustments to be made of numerous parameters and data analyses of laps driven.
This gives the engineers of the race teams the
possibility to compare the results of various adjustments for quick and pinpoint performance of engine settings and suspension set-ups. Furthermore,
the display instrument in the cockpit that supplies
the drivers with key vehicle information during the
race is from Bosch as well. The DTM cars also use
numerous other Bosch products such as sensors,
spark plugs, starters and generators.
Bosch does not only compete in DTM but the
Bosch technology also celebrates successes in the
FIA Endurance Championship with its highlight,
the Le Mans 24-Hour Race: Since 2006 vehicles
with diesel direct injection from Bosch have been
turning the ideas of many motorists upside down
with their victories – at least with respect to
‘diesel’. And when in 2012 an Audi R18 e-tron
quattro with diesel hybrid drive won the legendary
race at Le Mans for the first time Bosch technology was on board as well. Bosch equipped the
cars with the common rail injection system and the
motor generator unit (MGU). The MGU electrically
feeds the energy recovered during braking events
into a flywheel accumulator and drives the front
axle of the racing car using two electric motors
during acceleration.
After having clinched another victory in 2014 Audi
is competing with this technology in the Audi R18
e-tron quattro at La Sarthe again in 2015.
Motorsport has a long tradition at Bosch, as
automotive technology by Bosch has been helping
racers to clinch victories since shortly after 1900.

DEKRA – partner of motorsport
DTM and DEKRA can look back on a partnership
of more than 25 years. DEKRA, one of the world’s
leading expert organisations, has been part of the
grid since 1989 – which makes it the epitome of a
traditional DTM partner. From the outset, the collaboration has been focused on the safety of the
racing vehicles and thus their drivers. As ‘official
technical partner of the DTM’, DEKRA provides
the technical stewards for the racing events whose activities, though, are not limited to trackside
scrutineering. DEKRA’s experts have always been
involved in developing and refining the regulations
as well. This particularly applied to the completely
revised, forward-thinking set of regulations that
came into effect in 2012, which rang in a new
era with even more spectacular DTM vehicles.
In 2015 the DEKRA logo – prominently displayed
on the car numbers – again visualises DEKRA’s
commitment as a series sponsor. “The DTM as a
premium racing series in Europe is an outstanding
platform for our company that makes it possible
for us to provide our know-how and our core competency as a worldwide leading expert organisation. We are proud of having been able to make
a substantial contribution to vehicle safety and
its further development in the past years,” says
Clemens Klinke, Chairman of the Management
Board of DEKRA Automobil GmbH and Member of

Deutsche Post – full speed into the new season
Since the beginning of the 2008 season Deutsche
Post – the German Postal Service – has been
supporting the DTM as a series partner. Like the
popular touring car series, Deutsche Post stands
for speed, dynamism, innovation and team spirit.
As a modern communication services provider, the
company delivers top performance on a daily basis. Every day, postmen and –women assure the
safe delivery of about 64 million letters to their
intended recipients.
In terms of reliability and speed Deutsche
Post achieves top marks on an international
scale. 94 per cent of all domestic letters are
delivered within one day. The Germany-wide network of branch offices and the work of 86,000
postmen and –women across the country give
customers the best possible assurance of receiving reliable mail service. This way, Deutsche
Post underlines its claim of being the Postal
Service for Germany.
The company has been active in motorsport for
many years. Since 2004 the Deutsche Post Speed
Academy has been assisting young, talented
drivers in making their way into professional racing. Every season the candidates fight a remote
duel for the ‘Motorsport Talent of the Year’ title.
A professional judging panel consisting of racing
and media experts evaluates the sporting and
personal performances of the drivers. The experts,
for example, include Timo Glock, DTM driver and
ex-Formula 1 racer, motorsport legend HansJoachim Stuck, DTM legend Klaus Ludwig, sports
official Hermann Tomczyk and “Mr Formula 1” Kai
Ebel. Through its DTM commitment, Deutsche

Hankook@DTM – With maximum grip into season No 5
‘Driving emotion’ – this always has been the motto of premium-tyre manufacturer Hankook. For the
fifth consecutive year, now, DTM’s exclusive tyre
partner supplies the teams with its ‘Ventus Race’
racing tyres. In the 2015 season, the tyre that was
specially developed for DTM and designed to perfectly match the spectacular DTM racers of Audi,
BMW and Mercedes-Benz will be available in the
dimensions 300/680 R 18 for the front wheels
and 320/710 R 18 for the rear – both as slick
and wet-weather tyre. Hankook’s DTM racing tyres
are loaded with the latest top technology and for
the drivers, they always represent the appropriate,
consistent high-performance choice for motor racing at the highest level. But for Hankook, performance and quality also represent the top priorities
aloof from the racetrack. Therefore, the company
makes above-average R&D investments. And the
result can be experienced by any driver on public roads – for instance with the ultimate Ventus
road tyres, the S1 evo² or the V12 evo² that were
developed on the basis of the DTM motor-racing
technology. As one of the fastest growing tyre manufacturers, Hankook develops and produces – in
Europe and all over the world – innovative tyres
with tailor-made, future-orientated technologies
for passenger cars, SUVs/4x4s, vans, transpor-
ters, motor homes, trucks and busses. The range

DTM History
Learning from Experience
Thrilling touring-car racing marked by
the magic three letters ‘DTM’ for more
than 30 years.
DTM can look back on 30 years of enthralling motor-racing history. The first race
of the ‘Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft’ (German Touring Car Championship), back in 1984,
still was contested by close-to-production touring
cars. In that year, Volker Strycek clinched the title
without having won a single race. In the following
years, DTM increased its internationality and its
significance. Many of the drivers who left their
marks on the series have become legends, today,
such as Ellen Lohr, Klaus Ludwig, Keke Rosberg
and Hans-Joachim Stuck. Bernd Schneider won
the DTM title a total of five times and witnessed
the changes in DTM from behind the wheel.
The German secured his first DTM title in 1995 to
DTM stands for action since 1984
add another four in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2006
– a record that hasn’t been broken until today.
In the meantime, in 1996, DTM had turned into a
high-tech series on Formula 1 level that was contested all over the world. But the high costs resulted in the end and a three-year break – but then,
the series returned to the European racetracks in
2000. Today, the three letters speak for themselves and represent the trademark of the touring-car
series. To not repeat the mistakes made in the
past, the manufacturers today do not only focus on
spectacular racing cars but also on cost control.
To provide the motor-racing enthusiasts even
more action, this year, DTM is going to again contest two races per weekend. The concept isn’t new:
From 1988 to 2000, the DTM teams and drivers
also battled it out for points and race wins in two
races per weekend.

DTM History
1984
The inaugural season
In 1984 the present-day DTM celebrated its debut as the
“German Production Car Championship” with productionbased Group A touring cars and a cleverly though-out handicap system. After twelve events Volker Strycek clinched the
first DTM title in a BMW 635 CSi, albeit without scoring a
single victory in the new series. Consistency paid off for the
new champion as early as in 1984.

1985
Start of the turbo era
In 1985 the championship was already open to international
participants and the title, this time, went to Sweden: Per
Stureson in the Volvo 240 Turbo prevailed against his German
rivals. In the following year, turbo engines made their way into
worldwide touring car racing but in Germany the handicap
rules continued to ensure a proper balance between turbo
charged and normally aspirated engines.

Kurt’s comeback
After being forced to take a break due to a lack of sponsors Kurt Thiim celebrated a successful comeback in 1986.
The Dane, who would become one of the most popular
DTM drivers for many years, clinched the title in his Rover
Vitesse straight away. 1986 also marked the beginning of
the “Star era”. Two teams competed in the Mercedes 190E
2.3-16 as the forerunners of Mercedes-Benz’s future factory
involvement.

Year of the juniors
In 1987 the Belgian Eric van de Poele took the champion’s
title in his BMW M3. After a thrilling fight between the BMW
camp and the Ford team the decision came only in the highly
dramatic finale at the Salzburgring at which three young
drivers, Eric van de Poele, Manuel Reuter and Marc Hessel,
fought for the title.

Ford finishes first
In 1988 as many as four manufacturers, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Opel, started from the DTM grid. Ford was
the only brand to continue banking on turbos and brought the
title home to Cologne in 1988. However, the championship
remained ultra-competitive up to the very end. Before the last
race four drivers still had chances of clinching the title. In the
end, veteran Klaus Ludwig prevailed.

BMW strikes back
Two years after winning both the World and European Touring
Car Championships the Italian Roberto Ravaglia – in 1989 –
was victorious in the DTM as well. In the BMW M3 fielded by
the Schnitzer team Ravaglia clinched the title which he called
the greatest success of his career. Klaus Ludwig, the reigning
champion, surprisingly switched from Ford to Mercedes, winning five races straight away in his first year with Mercedes.

Stuck wins for Audi
Ford withdrew from the championship in 1990. Instead,
Audi joined the series as a newcomer, and the title went to
Ingolstadt in the brand’s first year. Hans-Joachim “Strietzel”
Stuck, the public’s darling, triumphed in the four-wheel-drive
Audi V8 quattro. Audi prevailed against their strong rivals not
only thanks to the four-wheel-drive advantage: The Audi’s V8
engine also had more power than the four-cylinder units.

Title defended
1991 saw Audi as the first manufacturer in history to successfully defend a DTM title. This time the winner was Frank
Biela, who in 1991 completed his first of – by now – 18 years
with Audi. Mercedes’ hopes of winning their first championship with Klaus Ludwig remained intact up to the last race at
Hockenheim, but rainy weather at the finale made the Audi
four-by-four unbeatable.

The star shines
1992 was the year of Mercedes. The AMG-Mercedes-Benz
190E 2.5-16 Evo 2 won a total of 16 races. Klaus Ludwig
clinched the first DTM title for the Stuttgart-based brand and
was thus the first driver with two DTM titles under his belt.
At Hockenheim in 1992 Ellen Lohr was the first – and so far
only – woman to win a DTM race.

First class
1993 was the year in which the new class 1 regulations
were introduced, prescribing engines with a maximum displacement of 2.5 litres and a maximum of six cylinders. In
addition, very liberal modifications to the engine, chassis
and aerodynamics were permitted. Alfa Romeo was the first
manufacturer to build a pure-blooded touring car and was
duly rewarded: Nicola Larini took the title home to Italy for
Alfa Romeo.

Opel’s breakthrough
In 1996, the DTM was completely replaced by the ITC. Six
events took place in Germany, and the remaining races were
staged across Europe and even overseas. The title went to
Manuel Reuter in the Opel Calibra V6. In view of the sharp rise
in costs for Class 1 vehicles and their complex technology
Opel and Alfa Romeo announced their withdrawal from the
series at the end of the season. This meant the temporary
end for the DTM.

The comeback
In the 2000 season the DTM celebrated a successful comeback. The “new” DTM with equally spectacular but considerably less costly touring cars was able to pick up exactly where
the “old” DTM had left off. At the end of the season three
stars of the “old” DTM were again running in front: Bernd
Schneider, Manuel Reuter and Klaus Ludwig. Schneider, the
last champion of the “old” was also the first champion of the
“new” DTM.

In the 2004 DTM, Audi managed a successful comeback as
a “factory” team. In the first year with the new Audi A4 DTM,
the squad from Ingolstadt secured the titles in the drivers’,

Schneider’s high five
Many great duels – one great champion. 2006 was the year
in which experience defeated the forward drive of the young
guns. The title fight was dominated by record champion
Bernd Schneider in the Mercedes-Benz, who became the
DTM Champion for the fifth time, ahead of Tom Kristensen
(Audi) and Bruno Spengler (Mercedes-Benz). For the first
time, the DTM was reduced to the duel between the premium
brands Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Reward at last ...
Eight years or 79 races – this is how long Timo Scheider had
been waiting for his first victory in the DTM – until Oschersleben in 2008. But that was just the start for the Audi driver: In
a thrilling duel he prevailed against his Mercedes-Benz rival
Paul Di Resta, who was making a strong showing towards
the end of the season, and was celebrated as the 2008 DTM
Champion at the Hockenheim finale.

Timo Scheider crowned himself champion again in 2009.
This makes him the second DTM driver after Bernd Schneider
(2000 / 2001 season) to successfully defend his title.
Scheider’s most persistent rival for the laurels, Gary Paffett
(Mercedes-Benz), had to admit defeat despite four wins in the
season. With two podium places and one pole position, Oliver
Jarvis in the year-old Audi attracted considerable attention.

After three consecutive title wins Audi had little resistance to put
up against the Mercedes squad. Just two races before the season ended, it was clear that the new champion would be driving
a Mercedes. At the dramatic season finale Paul Di Resta intercepted the stumbling leader of the standings, Bruno Spengler,
in the brand-internal fight between three front runners. Gary
Paffett won the race, thus moving up to second place overall.
The best Audi driver was Timo Scheider in fourth position overall.

Tomczyk’s surprise coup
The “eternal talent” Martin Tomczyk made believers out of everyone. After his Audi-internal transfer from Abt to Phoenix Racing, the driver who was ranking in third place overall really got
going in 2007: thee victories, a total of eight podium places, not
a single finish below fifth place. And all this in an Audi A4 DTM
that was not a current specification car. Mercedes’ trump card,
Bruno Spengler, as in the year before, had to settle for position
three overall despite a strong first half of the season.

after having left it at the end of 1992 season, and successfully so, as BMW won half of the ten races of the season,
secured the drivers’ title with Bruno Spengler plus the team
and manufacturers’ titles. Opening race winner Gary Paffett
lost the lead of the standings to Spengler only at the season’s

Triumph through consistency
Mike Rockenfeller has evolved into a top-calibre driver in recent years. In 2012 he was the driver with the highest point
score of his manufacturer, Audi. In 2013 ‘Rocky’ upped the
ante on securing his first DTM title with two victories and
several podium places. Title defender Bruno Spengler (BMW)
only stood up to him at the beginning of the season. In the
Mercedes camp super star Gary Paffett had to get in line behind the ‘young guns’ Christian Vietoris and Robert Wickens.

opener. Over the course of the season, the BMW driver celebrated another three race wins and at the Lausitzring, Wittmann
succeeded in winning the title early, with Pascal Wehrlein
(Mercedes-Benz) making history at the same time: the 19-year

FIA Formula 3 European Championship Preview
The motor racing aces of the future
Races all over Europe and
competition at the highest level –
those who shine in the FIA European
Formula 3 Championship
have chances for a stellar career
Since 2013, the FIA Formula 3 European Championship has been the leading junior category in
international single-seater racing. A fact that has
been confirmed not only by Max Verstappen, the
youngest driver ever who made it to Formula 1.
Accordingly to the aim of the International Automobile Federation FIA the European Championship has established itself as an independent
series. Just as important for the FIA was offering
the young drivers the opportunity to demonstrate
their skills on big stages – in the support programme of international top-class series. The 2015
calendar comprises 11 events in eight European
countries. Thanks to its appearances in the UK,
Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands
and Russia the FIA Formula 3 European Championship meets its standards as an international
race series. Eight former or current Formula 1
GP or test circuits: Silverstone (GBR), Hockenheim (GER), Pau (FRA), Monza (ITA), Spa-Francorchamps (BEL), Zandvoort (NED), Spielberg
(AUT) and the Nürburgring (GER) are venues of
2015 race meetings. Furthermore, the season
features two tradition-steeped street circuits: Pau
(FRA) and Nuremberg’s Norisring (GER). On seven
weekends, the FIA Formula 3 European Championship will race in the support programme of DTM.
Three of the other four events will be held in the
support programmes of the FIA World Endurance
Championship (WEC), the ADAC GT Masters and
the ACI Racing Weekend, respectively – and in the
tradition-steeped Grand Prix at Pau, Formula 3
even represents the main a ttraction.
No standardises thinking
In Formula 3, the up-and-coming motor-racing
talents do not only gather valuable on-track experiences but also learn how to deal with the technology. As Formula 3 isn’t contested with control
chassis and control engines as it is the case in
many other race series, the drivers are offered the
chance of enhancing their cars in cooperation with
their engineers and mechanics within the framework of the regulations, this also increases their
technical background knowledge.
While all the teams rely on the chassis supplied
by Italian market leader Dallara, in the 2015 FIA
Formula 3 European Championship season, there
is more variety in the engine area. The normally
aspirated Formula 3 two-litre engines are characterised by a 28 millimetre air restrictor that is
mounted on the exterior of the chassis. Thanks to
this restrictor, the engines of all the manufacturers
produce 240 hp. The engine regulations that stipulate that the engines don’t have to be based on
a production engine, anymore, were introduced in
2014 and will remain in force up to and including
2017.
A stepping stone to Formula 1
For decades, now, Formula 3 has been the ideal
stepping stone to the pinnacle of motor racing,
Formula 1. The later Formula 1 World Champions
Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton,
Michael Schumacher, Mika Häkkinen, Jacques
Villeneuve, Damon Hill, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell,
Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, to name just a
few examples from the last four decades, all ad-
147
vanced to the sport’s top class via Formula 3. The
latest example is Max Verstappen. The only 17year old Dutchman needed just one season in car
racing with – inter alia – ten FIA Formula 3 European Championship race wins to secure a Formula
1 race seat at the Scuderia Toro Rosso. Apart from
Verstappen, another 14 of the 20 drivers on the
2015 Formula 1 grid also learned their trade in
Formula 3.
But the career path following Formula 3 does not
exclusively lead to Formula 1. Jamie Green and
Daniel Juncadella, for instance, continued their
careers in DTM after having won the Formula 3
Euro Series title. And recently, Tom Blomqvist and
Lucas Auer followed their footsteps. Paul Di Resta
also advanced as F3 Champion to DTM to win the
title there, too, four years later and switch to F1
afterwards.
Other drivers who shone in Formula 3, such as
Benoît Tréluyer, Marcel Fässler and André Lotterer, made a name for themselves in international
endurance racing: in 2011, 2012 and 2014, the
trio won the legendary Le Mans 24-Hour Race and
in 2012, they also secured the World Endurance
Drivers’ Championship (WEC). The former Formula
3 drivers and reigning WEC champions Sébastien
Buemi and Anthony D
avidson are piloting a prototype currently.

Competitive Grid
36 outstanding young drivers – more than ever
before – are battling it out for the two coveted FIA
Formula 3 European Championship titles. The drivers’ title and the trophy for the best rookie. At the
same time the 12 teams the talents from 18 countries are racing for also will give their very best to
win the team title.
It is conspicuous that there is a particularly big
number of Formula 3 newcomers who believe to
be ready for making the step to the FIA Formula 3
European Championship right away. 18 rookies –
exactly 50 percent of the field – are determined to
give their more experienced rivals a hard time right
from the beginning of the season.
Three Days of action
As the event concept of the recent years proved
to be extremely successful, the 2015 race meetings also will be kicked off on Friday with two
40-minute back-to-back practice sessions, with
the two 20-minute qualifying sessions also being
held on Friday. In the first qualifying session the
drivers battle it out for the positions on the grid
for race one while the fastest and the second
fastest laps of a driver are crucial in the second
qualifying session as they will be used to determine their positions on the grids for race two and
three. Then, on Saturday, it’s all about the races.
Two races are contested – one in the morning, the
other in the afternoon – and between the races,
the Formula 3 paddock buzzes with activity and
offers the motor-racing enthusiasts the chance of
taking a close look at the lives of the young drivers
when they aren’t sitting behind the wheels of their
single-seaters. The third race of every weekend is
held on late Sunday morning. The race distance of
every round amounts to about 100 kilometres and
a maximum duration of 35 minutes respectively.
Tatiana Calderón is driving for Carlin in the Formula 3 European Championship in 2015 and, as in the previous
season, is the only woman on the grid.

Rules of the game

Championship make for thrilling sport and reasonable costs
The technical regulations
Chassis In the 2015 season all the teams once
again will rely on the know-how of experienced
Italian chassis manufacturer Dallara. The chassis
used are the ones of the 2012 specification that
have been homologated for Formula 3 up to and
including 2017. With their stepped under-floor, a
crash box at both the front and the rear as well
as two roll-structures, the vehicles are extremely
safe. In addition, they have had to pass the strict
FIA crash tests for homologation. Still, the drivers
should not overdo it: Even in the case of a crash
resulting in a massively damaged chassis, replacing the chassis during the course of an event is
prohibited. The minimum weight of the vehicle –
including the driver in full racing gear and all the
fluids apart from the fuel – amounts to 565 kilograms. The car width including the tyres must not
exceed 1,850 mm and the minimum wheelbase
amounts to 2,000 mm.
Powertrain The gear shifts are executed with
a longitudinally mounted sequential six-speed
gearbox. Shifting events are electropneumatically
controlled and activated by paddles on the steering wheel.
Engine After 2014 marked the beginning of a
new era for Formula 3, four-cylinder engines with
a maximum cubic capacity of 2,000 cc and direct
fuel injection may be used again this year. Series
production is not stipulated. Engines must be normally aspirated. The horsepower output is limited
by a 28 mm air restrictor (26 mm until 2013).
Tyres The FIA Formula 3 European Championship
single-seaters are exclusively shod with Hankook Ventus tyres (180/550 R13 front, 240/570
R13 rear).
Fuelling The safety tanks made of rubber
solely are fuelled with 102-octane fuel. Re-fuelling
is prohibited during both the practice sessions
and the races.

The sporting regulations
Testing The first official days of testing were held
at Valencia (17th/18th March). Two single official
test days on 7th April and 27th May will be held
directly before the races at Silverstone and Monza
on these particular tracks. Another two-day test
will be held in the second half of the season. In addition, just like in the past, the teams are permitted
to run unofficial tests of their own on a maximum
of six days.
Race-weekend schedule Following two practice
sessions, the two separate qualifying sessions will
be held on Friday afternoon. Qualifying 1 decides
the grid positions for race one on Saturday morning. In Qualifying 2 the fastest lap time set by
every driver decides the driver’s grid position in
race 2, whereas the second-fastest lap time is d
ecisive for the driver’s grid position in race three.
Races 2 and 3 are normally held on Saturday
morning and Saturday afternoon, whereas race 3
is held on late Sunday morning. Each race covers
a distance of about 100 kilometres or a maximum
time of 35 minutes.
Tyres The number of Hankook tyres per d river per
race weekend is limited. In the practice sessions
one used and two fresh sets of tyres may be used.
For the qualifying sessions and the races three
fresh sets of tyres are available to each driver. The
number of wets is limited to three sets per race
weekend.
Engines Only one engine may be used per car for
the full season. Should an engine be changed in
spite of this rule, the driver of the respective car
will receive a 10-position grid penalty for the next
three races he is going to contest.
Points In all three races contested on a race
weekend, the points for the 10 best-placed drivers
are awarded according to the following system:
25-18-15-12-10-8-6-4-2-1. Guest drivers who
have not been entered for the full season cannot
score points, while drivers of cars that have been
entered for the full season can. Should a race be
stopped before the leader has covered a minimum
of 75 per cent of the scheduled race distance, only
half the points will be awarded. Should a race be
stopped with less than two laps completed, no
points will be awarded.
Classifications The European Championship title
is awarded to the driver who scored more points
than any of his opponents. The title for the best
team goes to the team that scored more points
than any of its opponents. Points for the team classification solely are awarded to drivers (maximum
of two per team) who were nominated by the team
prior to the respective event.
In addition, there is a rookie classification. The title
of the best rookie is awarded to the rookie who has
scored the largest number of points. Rookies are
drivers who previously have raced only vehicles
of a performance level lower than that of Formula
3 cars and have not contested more than three
Formula 3 race weekends. Only vehicles using
the current and previous chassis generation are
deemed Formula 3 vehicles.

Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland Preview/Events
Competitive starting grid: In the past years, the front runners in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany used to
make for extremely close racing
Thrilling races with equal opportunities
From the first round at the
Hockenheimring, the Porsche
Carrera Cup Germany guarantees
excitement from the first to the final
race lap as the regulations
ensure equal opportunities for
all the drivers.
E
very competitor will race the 460bhp Porsche
911 GT3 Cup. Porsche seals the engines and
the only components the teams may make changes at are the camber, the track, the rear wing
and the tyre pressure – within clearly defined
limits. In addition, all the cars will be shod with
the same Michelin control tyres. The Porsche 911
911 GT3 Cup is the most produced racing car of
the world. It is built – together with its production
sister cars – on the assembly line in Zuffenhausen.
The international starting grid for the 2015 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany once again features
both experienced professional racing drivers and
greedy young talents. 21 drivers from eleven nations are going to battle it out with one another,
among them the 2013 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup Champion Nicki Thiim (DEN/Team 75 Bernhard) whose father raced in DTM in the 1990s.
Also good prospects have the Porsche Juniors
Matteo Cairoli (ITA/Team Project 1/ Fast Track
Racing Center), Sven Müller (GER/Walter Lechner
Racing Team) and Connor de Phillippi (USA/Team
Land-Motorsport). 18-year old Italian Cairoli enters
the German series as reigning Italian Carrera Cup
Champion while Müller is about to contest his
second Porsche Carrera Cup Germany season.
Last year, the 23-year old finished fourth in the
37-driver field, thus also being the best rookie. By
doing so, he followed the footsteps of 22-year old
de Phillippi who won the rookie title in 2013. In the
2014 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany season, the
US-American secured two podiums and celebra-

ted a race win. In addition to a financial support
for their career, the three talents also will be accompanied by a driver coach to every race: former
Porsche works driver Sascha Maassen.
Altogether, the drivers will contest 17 races. Seven
events will be held at German racetracks, one in
the Netherlands and one in Austria. Eight of the
Porsche Carrera Cup events will be held in the
DM support programme (two races per weekend)
and one in the Nürburgring 24h Race support programme at the Nordschleife (one race). There will
be live-stream coverage of the races at n-tv and
porsche.com. In addition, Sport1 will cover the races live or re-live. The series also will be featured
in several magazines: on the Mondays following
the respective races, at 18:30hrs CEST (17:30hrs
BST), n-tv brings the magazine ‘PS - Porsche Carrera Cup’ and on the Saturdays following one of
the race meetings, Sport1 will bring background
stories and the race highlights.

Audi Sport TT Cup Preview
International The Audi Sport TT Cup grid will feature 18 talents from 13 countries
6 events, 12 races, 24 vehicles: the Audi Sport TT Cup
A new makes Cup is about
to be kicked off: the Audi
Sport TT Cup. On six DTM
weekends, Audi offers
international talents the chance
of making their first steps
into the company’s successful
motor-racing world. In addition
to 18 permanent drivers, the
field of each race will feature
guest drivers that will contest
special challenges.
There is one figure underlining the attractiveness
of the new Audi Sport TT Cup in impressive style: 165 drivers applied for one of the 18 permanent race seats, at Quattro GmbH – that would
have been more than enough for making for
two packed starting grids. In a multi-step driver
selection process, the jury had to work hard to
make the right choices. The goal: the creation of
an international field that would offer the young
talents the chance of making their next step on
the way to becoming professional racing drivers.
The result: the 18 2015 Audi Sport TT Cup regul-
Audi Sport TT Cup Preview
regulars come from 13 countries and three continents, with the German fraction – three drivers
– being the biggest. They will be joined by drivers
from another 10 European countries as well as the
USA and Hong Kong. With the field’s average age
of 21 years, Audi underline their ambitions to offer young talents the opportunity to make the first
steps into the company’s motor-sport world.
The races will be contested with true racing cars.
For the Audi Sport TT Cup, the Quattro GmbH designed a both visually and technically attractive
vehicle that benefits from the technical innovations of its production sister car – particularly in
the lightweight-construction area. The weight of
the Audi TT’s production body is that low that it
could be used for the motor-racing purposes with
virtually no changes being necessary. In addition,
the two-litre TFSI engine and the gearbox also are
virtually identical to the ones of the production car.
Meanwhile, a specially designed steel roll cage
welded to the body makes for maximum safety,
in the racing car.
The Audi Sport TT Cup will contest two round each
in the support programme of six DTM weekends.
In addition to the season kick-off and the season
finale, the Audi Sport TT Cup also will be racing at
the Norisring, Oschersleben and the Nürburgring.
And at season half time, the calendar features a

Racing car
Thanks to its
push-to-pass
system, the
Audi TT cup
produces
340bhp
trip to Austria. At Spielberg’s rollercoaster, the 18
regulars also will battle it out for valuable championship points. But they won’t be the only drivers
on the grid. For every round, another six cockpits
will be assigned to changing guest drivers. Under
the motto ‘Challengers welcome’, the focus will be
set on battles of celebrities coming from the same
area, such as sportsmen and women, musicians
and artists.
In the Audi Sport TT Cup, one of the main priorities
represents to ensure equal opportunities for every
competitor. Therefore, all the 24 vehicles are centrally prepared and run by Quattro GmbH. Enthralling race action is guaranteed, inter alia due to the
push-to-pass system. When the driver presses a
button on the steering wheel, the 310bhp engine
of the Audi TT cup temporarily produces an extra
horsepower output of 30bhp. The winner of the
new makes cup’s debut season will not only be
rewarded with the title but he also will be promoted in Audi’s successful GT3 programme.
One of the men who already celebrated numerous
motor-racing successes is Markus Winkelhock.
The former Audi DTM driver and winner of last
year’s 24h races at the Nürburgring and Spa will
attend to the Audi Sport TT Cup competitors as
coach. He already extensively tested the new racer
in the run-up to the season and is thrilled: “The
Audi TT cup is a true racing car. Ideal for newcomers but challenging to drive, nevertheless. You
feel that you are sitting behind the wheel of an
Audi right away and quickly realise the close relationship with the brand’s other racing cars.”
