Revision as of 13:19, 4 September 2018
The 2019 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters is planned to be twentieth season of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters since the series' resumption in 2000. Mercedes-AMG will withdraw from the championship after the 2018 season to focus on their Formula E entry, marking 2019 the first season not to feature Mercedes-Benz.[1][2]
The 2019 championship will see the series introduce regulations known as "Class One". These regulations will be shared between the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and the Japanese Super GT series, allowing entries to compete in both championships.[3]
Calendar
Calendar changes
- With the adoption of Class One regulations, the series will share two rounds with the Super GT championship. One is planned to be held in Europe and the other in Asia. A balance of performance formula will be applied to ensure parity between DTM cars and Super GT as Super GT will not adopt Class One regulations until 2020.[4]
