DTM - German Touring Cars

The series emerged around the early 1980's by now resurrected in 2000, the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters reintroduced four-litre V8 touring cars back to Europe. The aim for the series is to provide fast and spectacular racing for production type cars with a relatively low level of technical sophistication beneath the skin. Reigning champion Mercedes-Benz enters 10 of its CLKs, Opel fields eight Astra Coupes and the private Abt Sportsline team runs four of its 'stretched' Audi TT-Rs. Big name tin-top stars like Bernd Schneider, Manuel Reuter, Alain Menu, Laurent Aiello, Jean Alesi and Joachim Winkelhock ensure the series remains one of the biggest and closest-fought in Europe.
