DTM
TOP-CLASS SPORT WITH GT RACING CARS
The DTM is Germany’s most popular racing series, with a history dating back to 1984.
Since 2021, the DTM has been contested with the globally popular GT3 racing cars. The DNA of the series has remained unchanged: It offers absolute top-class sport with top teams and professional drivers in 16 sprint races lasting just over an hour. All races are broadcast live or re-live in more than 150 territories all around the world.
As the organiser of the DTM, the ADAC focuses on proximity to the fans and the core market of Germany. Six of the eight events will be held in Germany, two more in neighbouring countries.

The Car
Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2
Since 2021, the DTM has been contested with the globally popular GT3 sports cars, which are all powered via the rear axle. In order to ensure maximum equality of chances between the different vehicle concepts, a so-called “Balance of Performance” is used, which defines performance-relevant parameters such as weight and engine power individually for each vehicle.
From 2025, ABT Sportsline will also build on its successful collaboration with Lamborghini Squadra Corse in the DTM, which has already proven its worth in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. With factory support from the Italian sports car manufacturer, the team will field two Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2s.
The design of the cars and the two drivers will officially be unveiled soon.

Successes
With 78 victories, 259 podiums, five drivers’ and five teams’ championships, ABT is the most successful active DTM team.
