Revision as of 05:32, 30 September 2019
René Rast (left) won his second Drivers' Championship while Nico Müller (right) finished second in the championship.
The 2019 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters is the thirty-third season of premier German touring car championship, first season under "Class One" regulations era and also twentieth season under the moniker of Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters since the series' resumption in 2000. Mercedes-AMG withdrew from the championship after the 2018 season to focus on their Formula E entry. British sports car manufacturer Aston Martin replaced Mercedes-Benz which marked the first non-German entry in 22 years when Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo last entered the series under the International Touring Car Series name in 1996.[1] Defending champion Gary Paffett did not defend his title, as he moved to Formula E.
The 2019 championship will see the championship introduce revolutionary regulations known as "Class One", the biggest change to the sport in recent history. These regulations will be shared between the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters and the Japanese Super GT series' GT500 class from 2020, allowing entries to compete in both championships.[2] The 2019 championship saw the running of the 500th DTM race, which was held as the second race at EuroSpeedway Lausitz.[3]
Audi clinched the manufacturers' championship title for the seventh time, with four races to spare.[3] René Rast declared 2019 DTM driver's title despite finished 3rd in the 2nd leg of Nürburgring round thanks to Nico Müller finished in 15th and 6th place.
Rule changes
Technical regulations
Engine formula
- The 2019 season saw the introduction of a new road car-based fuel-efficient engine configuration, with turbocharged engines returning to the sport for the first time since 1989. The new engines are 2.0 L (122 cu in) inline-4 cylinder format single-turbocharged engines, tuned to produce approximately 610 horsepower (450 kilowatts) and limited to 9,500 rpm;[4] Garrett Advancing Motion will provide the turbochargers for all DTM cars from 2019 onwards. Individual engine units under the 2019 specifications had to last for at least 6,000 km (3,728 mi) before being replaced, in comparison to the pre-2019 engines, which were required to last for 10,000 km (6,214 mi). Engine unit changes during a race weekend result in a 10-place grid penalty for the requisite driver. All engines run on Aral Ultimate 102 RON unleaded fuel. The traditional naturally aspirated V8 engines that were required since 2000 were permanently retired. The all-new engine configuration also incorporates the IndyCar-style push-to-pass overtake assist system in a bid to improve the racing spectacle; the push-to-pass system will produce around 30 hp (22 kW) and will be used by the driver up to 12 times in a race.[5] The newly-current second-generation DTM inline-4 turbo engines are more powerful and more efficiency combustion process compared to previous first-generation DTM V8 naturally-aspirated engines that were utilized in 2000-2018.
Suppliers
Audi and BMW remains committed for providing the newly-second-generation engine units to Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters for 2019 season onwards, while the third engine supplier was announced 11 October 2018 at the R-Motorsport's headquarters in Niederwil, Aargau, Switzerland, just prior to the series deadline. Aston Martin announced a single-turbo inline-4 engine unit[6], built in a partnership with HWA AG and AF Racing AG and thus providing engines for Aston Martin Vantage DTM machines.
Aerodynamics and other components
- The single-element rear wing returns for the first time since 2016 but will be wider. As a result, the drag reduction system used for assisting overtaking manoeuvres will be revised, with use within one second of a driver in front.
- The minimum weight of the cars was decreased from 1,115 to 1,070 kg (2,458 to 2,359 lb) (including driver and fuel respectively) to account for the decreased weight of the engine and other components.
- Launch control was outlawed,[7] while the traditional interior rear view mirror was replaced by a rear-view camera.[7]
Sporting regulations
Race format
- The two races per round format was retained, but the fixed lap distance format (last used in 2014) was initially brought back, replacing the timed race format (55 minutes plus 1 lap most recently) that had been used for the previous 4 years; there was a caveat in the case of a safety car period, the race could be extended by up to 3 laps.[7] However after the opening round of the season, the previous timed race format was reinstated with the addition of the race-extending safety car rule.
Calendar
A nine-round calendar was announced in October 2018.

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.[9]
- The rounds at the Hungaroring, Red Bull Ring and Zandvoort were removed from the schedule. The series will instead make its début at the TT Circuit Assen and return to Circuit Zolder for the first time since 2002. Meanwhile the Misano round will revert to a daytime start time instead of nighttime.[10]

Driver changes
- Augusto Farfus will leave the series after seven years to join BRC Hyundai N Lukoil Racing Team in the World Touring Car Cup. He will continue his association with BMW in the FIA World Endurance Championship.[19][20] He will be replaced by 2018 ADAC GT Masters runner-up Sheldon van der Linde.[13]
