Driver and team changes

Rule changes

  • A new 'DTM Pro Climate' synthetic fuel developed by Coryton was introduced to the championship, along with new Pirelli P Zero DHG slick tyres.[17]
  • The race length was shortened from 1 hour plus one lap to 55 minutes plus one lap. In the event of a safety car, a maximum two extra laps may be added.[18]
  • The Sunday race changed in format, now mandating two pit stops instead of one. The first is to be served between minutes 10 and 25 of the race, with the second pit window spanning from minutes 39 to 45.[18]
  • A new rookie of the year classification was created. Any Gold- or Silver-rated driver in their first season of DTM is eligible for the award. Second-year drivers may also be admitted at the discretion of the committee. Dörr Motorsport's Ben Dörr was granted this exception.[19]
