Foreword
Dear Sir or Madam Dear Friends of the DTM
003
In my long career in motorsport I have experienced a lot of things but the past season in the DTM was, no doubt, one of the highlights. We celebrated the premiere of the new generation of the DTM vehicles, based on a set of new, pioneering Technical Regulations that was achieved in a unique collaborative effort between the manufacturers involved, the German Motorsport authority DMSB plus the ITR as the owner of the rights and marketer of the DTM. Thanks to these Regulations BMW on its return was immediately competitive a positive signal for other interested parties such as our friends from Japan. All three premium brands involved in the DTM Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz have won races in 2012. It would have been difcult to imagine a more thrilling season. The battle for the title in the drivers, manufacturers and teams classications was only decided on the last kilometres. Rising attendance rates at the race tracks provided clear proof of the DTMs growing popularity with spectators. Still, at the ITR we continually strive to improve the experience for the motorsport fans. This year, for example, the so-called Drag Reduction System (DRS) and the new option tyres supplied by our partner Hankook will add a further thrill to the on-track action, in other words, there will be even more overtaking manoeuvres. The DTM has been and will continue to be a racing series with a solid base in Germany, but which is very successful with its international orientation. Last year, the decision to cooperate with the Japanese Super GT Series was taken so that the DTMs Technical Regulations will also be used in Japan. A few weeks ago, an agreement was signed with the U.S. GRAND-AM Series as well. It is aimed at launching a racing series according to DTM Regulations in the United States in the midterm. For now, we all look forward to a thrilling 2013 season. It starts at Hockenheim on 5 May. Furthermore, at the Moscow Raceway, a promising premiere in Russia is on the agenda for us. The driver line-ups of the manufacturers reect a few changes. We are eager to see how newcomers such as the former Formula 1 driver Timo Glock at BMW or Formula 3 Champion Daniel Juncadella at Mercedes-Benz will fare or how Jamie Green will be doing in his rst year with his new employer Audi. I wish all of us, also on behalf of my colleagues on the ITRs executive and advisory boards, a fascinating season with spectacular races. Yours sincerely
Hans Werner Aufrecht Chairman, ITR e.V.

Innovation The DRS puts the rear wing into a diagonal position and thus facilitates overtaking manoeuvres
New challenges for the DTM aces

Following the successful debut of the new technical regulations and the just as successful BMW comeback, last year, DTM is going to start into the 2013 season with many well-known factors but some interesting innovations, too
he most important innovation for the forthcoming DTM season certainly is the Drag Reduction System, DRS. This technology was extensively tested in the off season and is used for the rst time in touring-car racing, in the 2013 DTM season. The adjustable rear wing allows the driver to increase the top speed of his car, thus making overtaking easier. The use of the DRS is allowed solely in the races, apart for the rst and nal three laps and the rst three laps following a

Doers Jens Marquardt, Toto Wolff and Dr Wolfgang Ullrich are responsible as Heads of Motorsport of the BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi brands
safety-car period. To be able to use the DRS, the interval between a driver and the one ahead must amount to less than two seconds, on the home straight. In the following lap, the DRS may be activated once by pressing the respective button. Also new: the option tyre provided by DTMs tyre partner Hankook. With its softer compound, it differs signicantly from the standard tyre and allows for lap times that are about 1 to 1.5 seconds faster. This advantage, however, lasts only for a certain period of time. Afterwards, the grip level decreases massively, resulting in clearly slower lap times. Every driver has to use the option tyre that can easily be identied due to a yellow stripe on its side once per race. Choosing the point in time for doing so is up to the respective team and driver but on the rst and nal three laps, executing one of the two obligatory tyre changes is prohibited. The tyre choice for the start of the race is free but the driver has to make his binding decision regarding the use of the option or the standard tyres on Saturday after the qualifying session. Another innovation is the permission to use a fresh set of tyres for the fourth and nal qualifying phase (Q4). The time schedule for the DTM weekends in the new season was signicantly changed. With immediate effect, teams and drivers have got just one
practice session for nding the perfect set-up for both qualifying and race. This means that the need for working quickly and efciently is even bigger than it used to be and so, surprises are possible if the one or the other fails to nd the necessary set-up, in the limited period of time. Apropos efcient work: between the qualifying session that usually will start on Saturday at 14:40hrs CEST (13:40hrs BST) and the race on Sunday that will start as early as at 13:30hrs CEST, in the future the parc-ferm conditions are in force and only certain, strictly limited and dened in advance maintenance works may be executed on the r acing cars. Should additional measures be necessary, they have to be announced at the DMSB and at the same time, they result in penalties such as a start out of the pit lane. Audi signed Britons Jamie Green as prominent new driver, in the off-season. For his ninth DTM season, the winner of eight DTM races switched to the brand with the four rings. In the past years, Green delivered in particularly great style at Nurembergs Norisring at Audis home circuit were Audi celebrated their last win in the traditionrich DTM race back in 2002. Together with the two former DTM Champions Mattias Ekstrm and Timo Scheider as well as Adrien Tambay, Green will race for Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline. Audi Sport Team Rosberg will enter just as it was the case in 2012 two cars for Filipe Albuquerque and Edoardo Mortara, with Mike Rockenfeller and

The hunted Bruno Spengler surprisingly won the DTM title in 2012
Miguel Molina racing for Audi Sport Team Phoenix. The racing car for the 2013 season was enhanced in every detail and is called Audi RS 5 DTM. In addition, Dieter Gass was appointed as Audi Sports new Head of DTM. Following the successful comeback year in DTM, when BMW secured the drivers, team and manufacturers titles, the Munich based manufacturer even strengthened its line-up for the title-defence campaign. Timo Glock left Formula 1 for good and switched to DTM to contest the 2013 season for BMW the brand he started his motor-racing career with and he rejoined later, in Formula 1, for a period of time as test and reserve driver. In addition, previous DTM test driver Marco Wittmann was granted a race seat for 2013. Both newcomers will drive for the also new BMW Team MTEK that is based in Garching, not far from Munich. The BMW Team Schnitzer colours will once again be represented by reigning champion Bruno Spengler as well as Dirk Werner. Former DTM Champion Martin Tomczyk again will race for BMW Team RMG and was teamed up with three-time World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx, for 2013. Meanwhile, Brazilian Augusto Farfus and US-American Joey Hand will drive for the Belgian BMW Team RBM. All the drivers will contest the season with BMW M3 DTM vehicles. The Mercedes-Benz squad also was subjected to restructuring measures. Under the direction of Toto Wolff, the new head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport, Wolfgang Schattling and Gerhard Ungar now are responsible for the DTM project. Within the frame
Boss Hans Werner Aufrecht, Chairman of the Management Board of ITR e. V., is pleased with the booming DTM
of the concentrating the forces, the line-up of the Stuttgart based manufacturer was reduced from eight to six DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coups. When it comes to the line-up, Mercedes-Benz opted for a mix of experience and young drivers. With 19DTM race wins, Gary Paffett is the most successful driver on the 2013 DTM grid. Meanwhile, all his ve fellow Mercedes-Benz drivers together havent got half as much DTM starts under their belts as Gary Paffett (92). The Britons HWA team-mates

Title hunt with the RS 5 DTM

Five DTM titles for Audi, three for Mercedes-Benz, one for BMW this is the tally of the most popular international touring car racing series since AUDI AGs return with a factory-backed commitment in 2004. The brand with the four rings is aiming to extend this advantage in the 2013 season. As of the 2012 season nale, the technology of the DTM vehicles has been frozen by the regulations. Consequently, a further technical development was only possible within limits. Therefore, the DTM squad of Audi Sport concentrated on exploring the more than 4,000 assembly components of the race touring car that was newly developed for the 2012 season for optimisation potential. Our engineers looked at every possibility for improvement, no matter how small, explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. With the new model designation Audi RS 5 DTM Audi has created a direct reference to the companys successful production models. Eight Audi RS 5 DTM cars in total are on the 2013 DTM grid. They are being elded by the three proven Audi Sport Teams Abt Sportsline, Phoenix and Rosberg. Mattias Ekstrms new team-mate in Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline and only new signing at Audi is the Briton Jamie Green the 30-year-old is currently regarded as one of the quickest and best DTM race drivers. The other driver pairings have almost remained unchanged since the 2012 season. Timo Scheider and Adrien Tambay are competing in Audi Sport Team Abt, Miguel Molina and Mike Rockenfeller for Audi Sport Team Phoenix, Filipe Albuquerque and Edoardo Mortara for Audi Sport Team Rosberg.

From the hunter to the hunted

2012, the year in which BMW Motorsport made its comeback to the DTM, was a special one for several reasons. Even the boldest optimists had not expected such a triumph. After a 20-year DTM absence BMW won all the titles against the highclass and experienced competition. That BMW would continue its success story in the DTM after title wins in 1984, 1987 and 1989 already became apparent at an early stage of the season. With Bruno Spenglers victory in the second race at the Lausitzring BMW Motorsport came full circle: after two decades following the last victory in the DTM up to then, a BMW driver was again at the very top of the podium. Both Spengler and 20 years earlier Roberto Ravaglia were driving for BMW Team Schnitzer. This close connection between the past and present ran like a thread through the entire season. Spenglers second victory at the Nrburgring crowned the festivities held on BMW Ms 40th anniversary. The successful comeback of BMW Motorsport ended in a brilliant nale at Hockenheim at which Spengler secured his rst DTM title on clinching the fourth victory of the season. BMW Team Schnitzer triumphed in the teams classication. That BMW Motorsport was able to decide the manufacturers classication in its favour as well was the icing on the cake of a fabulous season. In total, the BMW drivers achieved ve victories and ve pole positions. Augusto Farfus received the accolade of being the best rookie of the season. In 2013, BMW Motorsport is competing with a larger squad. In addition to BMW Team Schnitzer, BMW Team RBM and BMW Team RMG, BMW Team MTEK headed by Team Director Ernest Knoors will be elding two further BMW M3 DTM cars. In terms of personnel, Timo Glock and Marco Wittmann will augment the successful six-some from last year. Test and development driver is the Belgian Maxim Martin.

With new forces on title win mission

In 2013 the brand with the star is putting a smaller, albeit more powerful DTM race squad with the experienced HWA and Mcke Motorsport teams on the grid. The driver line-up is fully geared to the promotion of talent, which has been a tradition at Mercedes-Benz for many decades. The average age is merely 23 years. Spearheading the squad and Team HWA is last years overall runner-up and 2005 Champion Gary Paffett. This season, the experienced Briton is embarking on the title hunt for Mercedes-Benz for the tenth time. With 19 victories under his belt, he is the DTMs most victorious active driver. Again on board at HWA is the German Christian Vietoris, who is contesting his third DTM season in 2013. The Canadian Robert Wickens made his DTM debut with Mcke Motorsport last year. In his second season he drives in the HWA team. The fourth driver in the HWA line-up is the Spaniard Roberto Merhi, who like Vietoris and Wickens is part of the Mercedes-Benz DTM Junior Team. The Spaniard Daniel Juncadella and the merely 18-year-old German Pascal Wehrlein are members of the Junior Team as well and are contesting their rst season in the DTM in Team Mcke Motorsport. There, they are supported by the former DTM driver Ralf Schumacher, who in his new management role assists the talents with advice based on his experience of more than two decades in motorsport. Mercedes-Benz commences the 2013 season not only with a newly formed and rejuvenated driver squad but also with a re-organised DTM management team. Since 21 January 2013 the Austrian Toto Wolff has been the new man holding down the responsibility for the brands motorsport activities. Gerhard Ungar is responsible for sport and technology. DTM management plus marketing, sponsoring and media fall within the scope of Wolfgang Schattlings role.

The two drivers are new too. Timo Glock comes from Formula 1 while Marco Wittmann has been promoted from a BMW Motorsport test and development driver to a regular driver.

BMW Team RBM: strong premiere

BMW Team RBM entered the DTM in 2012 with plenty of premature praise. After all, the Belgian racing team headed by its boss Bart Mampaey had won the European Touring Car Championship between 2004 and 2007 and the World Touring Car Championship three times with Andy Priaulx. In 2012 the team entered new territory in the DTM. Right in the second race at the Lausitzring Augusto Farfus started from the front row of the grid and nished third on the podium. Towards the end of the season the Brazilian crowned his brilliant debut season with two pole positions and victory at Valencia. In 2013 Farfus is again driving for BMW Team RBM. The American Joey Hand is his new team-mate.

BMW Team Schnitzer is a true specialist for premieres in the DTM. In 1989 the squad based in Freilassing made its debut in the old DTM and with Roberto Ravaglia at the wheel of the BMW M3 immediately celebrated the title win. In 2012 the story repeated itself: together with BMW Motorsport Charly Lamm and his crew returned. But even the most loyal fans of the Upper-Bavarian squad would not have thought it possible that the season, after four victories and three pole positions, would end in the drivers and teams title wins. In 2013 BMW Team Schnitzer is again competing with last years Champion Bruno Spengler, and with Dirk Werner.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg: on the way towards the top

Two victories, a second place and a pole position 2012 was the most successful DTM season of Audi Sport Team Rosberg. For nearly two decades the team formed by the former Formula 1 World Champion Keke Rosberg has been celebrating successes in touring car sport. In the area of junior formula racing it attracted attention as well particularly in 2002 with the title win by Gary Paffett in the German Formula 3 Championship. Since 2006 Team Rosberg as an Audi factory has been exclusively been concentrating on the touring car sector again. In 2012 Team Director Arno Zensen brought in Ossi Oikarinen, a technology director with Formula 1 experience, to back him.

A lot of time-tested features plus a few innovations

The new DTM regulations that were introduced last year apply again in the 2013 season. From a technical perspective most of the parameters have remained unchanged. The innovations though are striking
hat BMW on its return last year won all the DTM titles can be ascribed to the strong performances of the BMW teams and drivers, but the newly introduced Technical Regulations have played a part in this as well. The regulations were drafted on the premises of Safety, Cost Control, Show and Equality of Opportunities. All of these aspects were fully met in the past season. For the 2013 season the Technical Regulations largely remain the same. The drivers continue to rely on the specication safety structures that protect them in case of an accident. In addition to the six crash elements at the sides, front and rear, the combination of a specication monocoque and cage with an integrated safety thank provides even better protection. The seat similar to Formula 1 cars is installed in the carbon bre monocoque that is connected to a roll-over cage made of high-strength steel. In the DTM
other specication components are used in areas that are not relevant to performance. These parts are limited to around 50 items which, in total, account for about ve per cent of all assembly components. The room for development in the areas of aerodynamics, the suspension and the engine thus continues to be large enough to allow clearly unique characteristics. For the 2013 season the fans in particular can look forward to a number of new features. Especially the option tyres from Hankook and the Drag Reduction System (DRS) will add a further thrill, as both innovations offer better overtaking opportunities and allow greater variances in race strategies. Other changes to the regulations are as follows: In the fourth and last qualifying segment new tyres may be used. In addition, the teams after Saturdays qualifying have to determine and announce the tyres they will be using for the race start.

Key elements of the Technical Regulations

Brakes The carbon bre brakes, brake pads and brake callipers are supplied by the same manufacturer (AP) to all teams. Per vehicle three sets of brake discs for the front and rear wheels may be used during a season. DRS The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is a wing ap that allows a higher top speed to be achieved for a short time. As of the 2013 season this system is to make for better overtaking possibilities. Electronics All DTM vehicles use the same engine control unit from Bosch. Data transmission while the vehicle is running on track is prohibited. Engines In the DTM only V8 engines with a cylinder bank angle of 90 degrees, a maximum displacement of four litres and a maximum of four valves per cylinder are permitted. The intake system must be equipped with two air restrictors each having a maximum diameter of 28 mm. Two weeks before the start of the season three engines for two registered entrants, respectively, are sealed. These engines must be used throughout the season. A DTM engine delivers roughly 500 hp. Fuel Only the fuel prescribed for the respective event (ARAL Ultimate 102) may be used. Gearbox In the DTM only one gearbox-differential unit made by Hewland is permitted.

Safety In the cockpit the driver is surrounded by an innovative combination consisting of a standard monocoque and cage. In addition, each vehicle has crash structures on both sides and at the front and rear. The HANS (Head and Neck Support) system has been mandatory since 2002. Tyres The tyres are exclusively supplied by the series partner Hankook. At the front, Ventus 300/680 18 are used, the dimensions for the rear wheels are 320/710 18. Strictly for the race a set of softer option tyres is available that has to be used once. After qualifying the teams have to announce which of the two tyre types they will start the race with. Weight The minimum weight of a DTM car including the driver, suit and helmet is 1,110 kilograms.

New name, optimized details: the Audi RS 5 DTM

The Audi RS 5 DTM which has been developed at Audi Sport under the internal project name R17 corresponds to the new Technical Regulations of the DTM that came into effect in the 2012 season and that will apply to the Japanese Super GT Championship as of 2014 as well. Those responsible for the project had three prerequisites to meet: the best possible safety of the vehicles, a cost reduction by up to 40 per cent and a spectacular look. The Audi RS 5 DTM appears atter and wider than the A4 DTM with which Audi won ve titles from 2004 to 2011. The chassis underneath the full-carbon body is of a hybrid design. The combination of the carbon bre monocoque and steel cage with front, rear and side crash elements sets standards for a race touring car in terms of safety. Furthermore, the chassis, with a mere weight of not quite 160 kilograms, is one of around 50 assembly components which are identical on all DTM cars. The use of carry-over parts made it possible to achieve a cost reduction of up to 40 per cent while further increasing the safety and attractiveness of the DTM vehicles. The RS 5 DTM is powered by an Audi V8 engine delivering around 340 kW (460 hp). The six-speed gearbox is pneumatically operated by paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Integrated into the safety cell of the Audi RS 5 DTM is a 120-litre safety tank that allows the distance of a DTM race to be completed without a refuelling stop. The possibilities in the area of aerodynamics are limited. Air ow through the body, as was the case with the A4 DTM, and complex additional wings at the rear are no longer allowed. This made the visual reference to the production model more evident while, at the same time, the new DTM vehicles react less sensitively to body contact and deliver better slipstream. Upon the homologation of the vehicle at the level of the last race of the 2012 season the latitude for the engineers was reduced even more. As further development was possible only to a very limited extent the focus was placed on detailed ne-tuning. Therefore, the t of the body parts was optimised in order to avoid gaps and transition areas that would impair the drag coefcient.

BMW M3 DTM the 2012 Champion

To guarantee equality of opportunity among the manufacturers and to thus ensure both cost control and thrilling racing the DTM Regulations permit any further development of the vehicles after their homologation only within tight constraints. Therefore, the fact that the BMW M3 DTM 2012 immediately proved to be a success model on which BMW Motorsport was able to build in preparation for the 2013 season was all the more important. With great condence in the car that won all three titles in the DTM the year before the engineers primarily focused on the robustness of the BMW M3 DTM. In a series as ercely competitive as the DTM the consequences of a retirement are particularly serious. For this reason, the vehicles have to withstand even rough duels undamaged. The BMW M3 DTM is powered by the BMW P66 engine. In its nal specication it is made up of nearly 800 different components. In total, this equates to around 3,900 single parts. When designing the DTM power-plant, BMW Motorsport made use of the technological know-how of the BMW Group in several respects. The hightech foundry that is an annex to the BMW plant Landshut contributed the major cast parts such as the cylinder head and the crankcase. Machining, coating and the required thermal treatment of the cast parts were accomplished at the relevant special departments in Munich.

The DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup

Mercedes-Benz is elding six vehicles of the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup model in the 2013 season. The car was unveiled in September 2011 during the International Motor Show IAA in Frankfurt. Gary Paffett and Jamie Green achieved a one-two victory in the debut race of the new DTM car from Mercedes-Benz at Hockenheim in 2012. In total, the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup took nine podium places, including three victories, in its rst season. The DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup is the successor of the AMG Mercedes C-Class which, with 85 victories in 159 races, is the most successful vehicle in the DTMs 27-year history. Development, design and construction of the DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup began at HWA AG in June 2010. The assembly of the rst chassis took place in June 2011, followed by the rst car being nished in August and the rst test with Gary Paffett at the Lausitzring in early September. On 1 March 2012 the DTM vehicles of the three participating manufacturers were homologated by the German Motorsport Association (DMSB) and thus the development was in large part frozen. The DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup was designed according to an improved safety concept the centrepiece of which is an innovative safety cell. It includes an optimised carbon bre monocoque plus a roll-over cage made of high-strength steel. For better protection of the driver in an accident, all safety-relevant components such as the re extinguishing system and the tank have been integrated into the carbon bre chassis. Furthermore, each car is equipped with six crash absorbers that provide additional protection to the driver at the front, rear and sides. These carbon bre crash elements (front and rear: 61 cm, sides: 30 cm) progressively reduce the energy that occurs in an impact so that the driver is not exposed to excessive deceleration forces. Simultaneously, other components dissipate the forces being generated in a targeted manner. The DTM Mercedes AMG C-Coup is based on the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coup that celebrated its world debut in summer of 2011. The C-Class Coup completes the top-selling model range of Mercedes-Benz and is available with a selection of seven engines, two diesel and two petrol versions, covering a range between 115 kW (156 hp) and 373 kW (507 hp). The C-Class Coup is produced at the Mercedes-Benz plant Bremen. It is the fourth model marking a premiere at Daimler to be manufactured on a single assembly line together with the saloon car and the T-Model plus the GLK.

Key elements of the Sporting Regulations

Accident data logger All current-generation vehicles have to be equipped with an accident data logger. The contenders are required to enable the Technical Stewards to read the standardized data loggers at any time. Classications There are three annual classications in the DTM. The title DTM Champion is awarded to the driver who has achieved the highest points score. The title DTM Team Champion is awarded to the team whose two drivers, in the aggregate, have scored the highest number of points. For the title DTM Manufacturer Champion, the six top drivers of a brand who nished a race in the top ten are counted. DRS The Drag Reduction System (DRS) is a wing ap that allows a higher top speed to be achieved for a short time. As of the 2013 season this system is to make for better overtaking possibilities. The system is activated when, at the start and nish line, the gap to the preceding vehicle is less than two seconds. On the subsequent lap the system may be used once at any optional place on the race track and is automatically deactivated when the driver depresses the brake pedal. On the rst three laps after the start or following a safety car period and on the last three laps before the nish DRS may not be used. Mandatory pit stops Every DTM race includes two mandatory pit stops at which all four tyres have to be changed. Refuelling has no longer been permitted since the 2012 season. Points system Points for places one to ten of a DTM race are awarded according to the 25-1815-12-10-8-6-4-2-1 system. There are no void results or additional points for the pole position or fastest race lap.

to avoid races being stopped. When the order to deploy the safety car is issued, all marshals wave yellow ags through the end of the safety car period, along with a sign saying SC. The safety car goes out on the track with its lights on and moves in front of the leading car. Overtaking is prohibited.
Innovation As of this season, in addition to the standard, there is also an option tyre from Hankook
Speed limit During the entire event the maximum permissible speed in the pit lane is 80 km/h. Exceptions apply to particularly narrow pit lanes like those at the Norisring, Zandvoort and Brands Hatch (each limited to 60 km/h). Start The DTM uses standing start procedures. The starting grid lines up in offset rows. The start is preceded by a formation lap, which means that the racing cars drive one lap around the circuit in the order of the grid positions before the ofcial race start. On the formation lap the drivers warm up their tyres and brakes to operating temperature. Overtaking is prohibited. Tests The number of test days is limited in the DTM. Even taxi runs, camera runs and functional tests have to be registered with the DMSB. Tyres Every driver, for the entire DTM race weekend, consisting of free practice, qualifying and the race, can only use a specied number of Hankook Ventus slicks and rain tyres. The tyres are allotted to the entrants by the Technical Stewards on the rst day of the event (typically on Friday). A set of softer options tyres, which has to be used once, is available strictly for the race. After qualifying, the teams have to announce which of the two tyre types they want to start the race with.
Qualifying The qualifying format features a multistage mode. The drivers compete for their grid positions in four sessions (Q1 to Q4). In Q1 of the shoot-out all 22 drivers have 16 minutes to complete an optional number of fast qualifying laps. The quickest 16 contenders qualify for session two; the slowest six occupy grid positions 17 to 22. In Q2 the drivers chase for fastest times in eleven minutes. The top ten move up into the third session while the others occupy grid positions eleven to 16. In Q3 the drivers are again given eleven minutes to do their laps. The slowest six occupy grid positions ve to ten and the four quickest drivers qualify for the fourth session the format of which differs from the rst sessions. The top four consecutively compete in single timed runs consisting of an out lap, a time lap and an in lap and start in reverse order of the fastest times set in session three. The times set in the time laps determine grid positions one to four. The quickest driver in this session claims the pole position. Race interruption A DTM race is no longer stopped even in the case of serious incidents. The race is merely interrupted in such a way that the vehicles stop in a row behind the race leader in front of the nish line. The safety car is used to resume the race. It leads the racing cars around the track for one lap; at the end of this lap the race is opened again at the starting line and continued in the normal manner. Safety car The manufacturers competing in the DTM take turns providing the safety car. It is used

Umbrella organisation for the motorsport community

Sporting competitions require rules and referees who monitor compliance. In German motorsport, the DMSB (Deutscher Motor Sport Bund) performs this role. It issues racing and track licences, trains sport stewards and marshals, denes regulations and thus assures fair, safe and thrilling motorsport. The association also denes itself as a service provider to all those who are involved in motorsport. This is particularly evident in the DTM. The Technical Regulations were dened in long-term and constructive collaboration with the participating car manufacturers and ITR e.V. An outstanding example among a multitude of details are the safety features of the new DTM generation: monocoque and safety cage, crash elements at the front, rear and sides are of an identical design for all DTM cars and ensure superior protection also by international comparison. The DMSB experts were instrumental in developing and subjecting them to extensive crash tests. The success of the cooperation has also been convincing on an international level. As a result of a collaborative relationship between the ITR, the DMSB and the Japanese Automobile Association JAF the popular Japanese Super GT will adopt the DTM Regulations as of 2014. In the United States the racing cars are to be elded in races featuring the style of the most popular international touring car series as of 2015 as well. Protecting the interests of German motor racers at all public and sporting levels is another one of the DMSBs responsibilities. As the national umbrella organisation, the DMSB is a member of the FIA (Fdration Internationale de lAutomobile) and the FIM (Fdration Internationale de Motocyclisme). In Germany, it represents the interests of motor racers as a member of the DOSB (Deutscher Olym pischer Sportbund).

The best of Aral for the DTM and its fans

Since the middle of the 2005 season the DTM has been powered by Aral Ultimate relying on the power of the high-performance fuel supplied by the market leader in the German lling station business. Since Arals entry as exclusive fuel supplier and sponsor, the racing cars competing in the DTM and its partner series have only been using Aral Ultimate petrol. Since 2010 the DTM has even been running with a unique innovation: Aral Ultimate 102 with 102 octanes. The advanced fuel like the crystal-clear Aral Ultimate Diesel fuel developed in a parallel project sets new, pioneering benchmarks in terms of combining performance with environmental protection not only in the engines of the DTM racers. At their lling stations, Aral customers get the same fuel as the DTM stars. Aral Ultimate fuels assure better performance, clean combustion, less fuel consumption and reduced emissions. This has only been possible because the fuel researchers at Aral pursued new approaches and developed completely new fuels, which are currently produced in only one renery and supplied to Aral lling stations via a separate logistics arrangement.

The DTM drives with engine management from Bosch

As in previous years, Bosch is a DTM partner again in 2013. The successful cooperation between the automotive supplier and the racing series far exceeds a normal sponsoring commitment. The DTM vehicles have complex racing technology from Bosch on board: all the racing cars used in the series are equipped with engine control units and displays from Bosch. Boschs engine control units for racing and engine management software allow individual adjustments to be made of numerous parameters and data analyses of laps driven. This gives the engineers of the race teams the possibility to compare the results of various adjustments for quick and pinpoint performance of engine settings and suspension set-ups. Furthermore, the display instrument in the cockpit that supplies the drivers with key vehicle information during the race is from Bosch as well. The DTM cars also use numerous other Bosch products such as sensors, spark plugs, starters and generators. Not only in the DTM but also at the 24 Hours of LeMans as well as in the Le Mans racing series in Europe and the USA, Bosch technology is successfully at work. Since 2006 vehicles with diesel direct injection from Bosch with their victories have been turning the ideas of many motorists upside down at least with respect to diesel. And when in 2012 an Audi R18 e-tron quattro with diesel hybrid drive won the legendary race at Le Mans for the rst time Bosch technology was on board as well. Bosch equipped the cars with the common rail injection system and the motor generator unit (MGU). The MGU electrically feeds the energy recovered during braking events into a ywheel accumulator and drives the front axle of the racing car using two electric motors during acceleration. Motorsport has a long tradition at Bosch, as automotive technology by Bosch has been helping racers to clinch victories since shortly after 1900.

DTM History
Thrilling motorsport with a tradition

The roots of todays DTM go back to 1984. It had its origins in the German Touring Car Championship that was formed more than 25 years ago
he magic three letters DTM once stood for Deutsche Tourenwagen-Meisterschaft (German Touring Car Championship). Today, they are the trademark of the most popular international touring car series. Its history began in the 1984 season with production-derived cars and culminated in a worldwide series for high-tech touring cars in 1996. After a three-season break, the DTM in 2000 celebrated a successful comeback with a trendsetting concept: fascinating technology at reasonable costs. Today, the series is regarded as the pinnacle of touring car racing and is one of Europes major sporting events. The rst DTM race was held at Zolder on 11 March 1984. Arguably, only a few of the people present at the venue back then suspected that they were witnessing the birth of one of the most popular racing series in history not even Volker Strycek who became the rst DTM Champion in 1984 with
German trio Back in the years from 1990 to 1992 Audi, BMW and Mercedes battled for victories and titles as well
Record holder No other driver has thus far won the DTM as many times as the ve-time Champion Bernd Schneider
a self-prepared BMW 635 CSi of the Gubin team. More than 250 DTM events have been held since then. The list of automobile manufacturers that have been involved in the DTM is a long one. Even longer is the list of the stars that shaped the series: Ellen Lohr, Klaus Ludwig, Bernd Schneider, HansJoachim Stuck, Keke Rosberg, Jean Alesi and Mika Hkkinen. They all have remained fans of the DTM even though they are no longer actively involved, and will always be part of DTM history. Meanwhile a completely new driver generation Mattias Ekstrm, Timo Scheider, Martin Tomczyk, Gary Paffett and Bruno Spengler with equally thrilling battles for titles has established itself in the series.

Ford nishes rst
In 1988 as many as four manufacturers, BMW, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Opel, started from the DTM grid. Ford was the only brand to continue banking on turbos and brought the title home to Cologne in 1988. However, the championship remained ultra-competitive up to the very end. Before the last race four drivers still had chances of clinching the title. In the end, veteran Klaus Ludwig prevailed.

Here, up-and-coming talents not only acquire valuable experience in racing, but also learn how to deal with technical matters. As, unlike many other categories, Formula 3 does not use spec chassis or engines, drivers can develop the cars within the limits of the technical regulations together with the engineers and technicians. Formula 1 World Champions Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Mika Hkkinen, Jacques Villeneuve, Damon Hill, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Nelson Piquet and Ayrton Senna, to name but a few examples from the last three decades, all moved up through the ranks of Formula 3 into the sports top class. However, the career path after Formula 3 does not exclusively lead to Formula 1. For instance, Jamie Green, Roberto Merhi and Daniel Juncadella all continued their careers in the DTM after winning the Formula 3 Euro Series title. Paul Di Resta also moved up into the touring car league as a Formula 3 champion, then went on to win the DTM title as well after four years and eventually made it into Formula 1. Other drivers who shone in Formula 3 are currently making a name for themselves in endurance racing like Benot Trluyer, Marcel Fssler and Andr Lotterer, 2-time victors in the Le Mans 24 Hours (2011, 2012) who won the drivers title in the 2012 FIA World Endurance Championship. Every race weekend of the FIA Formula 3 European Championship starts on Friday with a free practice session of almost two hours, interrupted by a ve minutes break. Two qualifying sessions of 20 minutes each are also scheduled on Friday, again with a ve minutes break in between. The fastest time of every driver in rst qualifying determines the starting grid positions for race1, the second-fastest lap time in rst qualifying determines the starting grid position for race 2. The
149
starting grid positions for race 3 are based on the fastest lap times in second qualifying. The races are run over a distance of approximately 100kilometres or a maximum duration of 35 minutes. Every race weekend also includes an autograph session with all drivers. The FIA Formula 3 European Championship has a particularly high-quality drivers eld for the 2013 season. Twelve teams from ve countries are running a total of 30 drivers from 15 different nations. Drivers are competing for the FIA Formula 3 European Championship title. The 2013 FIA Formula 3 European Champion can look forward to a test session with a Formula 1 car of the Scuderia Ferrari.

Cars of the 2012 generation are being used, which are homologated for Formula 3 until 2015. With a stepped underoor, crash boxes at the front and the rear and two roll-hoops, the cars are extremely safe. Prior to the rst use, they also have to pass the stringent FIA crash tests. Nevertheless, drivers should not overdo it: even after an accident with considerable damage to the equipment, changing a chassis during the event is not permitted. The minimum weight of the car is 550 kg (including driver in full race gear and all liquids except fuel). The vehicle width, including tyres, may not exceed 1,850 mm, the wheel base may not be less than 2,000 mm. Engine Admitted are four-cylinder engines with a maximum capacity of 2,000 cc. At least 2,500units of the basic version of the engine have to be built per year. Block and cylinder head must be identical with the production engine. Turbo charging is prohibited. An air restrictor with a diameter of 26 mm limits the power output. Refuelling The rubber safety tanks are lled exclusively with 102 octane fuel. Both in practice sessions and in races, refuelling is prohibited. Transmission For shifting gears, a longitudinally placed sequential six-speed gearbox is used. A reverse gear is mandatory, traction control is forbidden. Tyres The race cars in the FIA Formula 3 European Championship are equipped exclusively with Hankook tyres (180/550 R13 front, 240/570 R13 rear).

rburgring N Nordschleife. And success will pay off: In 2013 Porsche distributes total prize money in the amount of 530,000 euros to drivers and teams. Two rounds are held per weekend a sprint race covering a distance of around 60 kilometres on Saturday and a race of around 80 kilometres on Sunday. The national series stands for sheer motorsport with a GT racing car based on the legendary Porsche 911 and is acclaimed as an excellent talent incubator. On launching the Porsche Juniors Programme in the 1997 Carrera Cup Porsche initiated a targeted effort of promoting young talent. The Porsche Juniors have turned into sought-after professionals: Le Mans winners, ALMS champions, GT and touring car specialists. In 2013 the Spaniard Alex Riberas Bou (19 years old) and the American Connor de Phillippi (20) as Porsche Juniors are given their big opportunity of driving their motorsport career forwards. All drivers compete in identical Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars from the model years 2010 to 2013. The vehicle is based on the road-approved lightweightdesign 911 GT3 RS sports car. As in the production counterpart, its 3.8-litre boxer engine delivers 450hp (331 kW) at 7.500 rpm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels by a sequential six-speed gearbox. With a weight of around 1,200 kilograms the power-to-weight ratio is about 2.7 kg/hp. Toe, camber and ride height plus the rear wing angle may be adjusted to the race tracks within the scope of the regulations. All GT3 Cup cars use identical racing tyres from Michelin (a maximum of three sets of slicks per weekend and vehicle). The fuel is identical for all teams as well. Those who are unable to watch the races of one of the worlds most tradition-steeped one-make cups live at the race tracks are comprehensively informed on television and the internet. After each race weekend n-tv airs the 30-minute programme PS Porsche Carrera Cup at 18:30 on Monday. During the week following a race Sport1 analyses the sporting action in a 30-minute programme and carries re-live reports of a large part of the races. On the ofcial Porsche website (www.porsche. com) all races are exclusively broadcast live in high quality in the German and English language.

Legends in a duel with juniors

Ever since its inception in 2010 the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup has become rmly established in the motorsport scene. The one-make with natural gas power thrills spectators with a mix of juniors and racing legends
motorsport legends and prominent guest entrants shows on the track. And the drivers can even oor the pedal with a clear conscience. Due to its innovative natural gas engine the Scirocco that delivers up to 285 hp emits less CO2. As the new supplier of the eco-conscious fuel the worlds largest natural gas company, Gazprom has been on board as of the beginning of the new season. Absolute equality of opportunities as the overriding maxim this applies to both the Scirocco R-Cup and its predecessors in Volkswagens long one-make cup tradition. Merely the steering wheel and seating positions are variable. The only other adjustments permitted are the front anti-roll bar settings and the tyre ination pressure. In addition, the vehicles may be swapped between events. The concept has been well received. To start a career in touring car racing, talents between the

ages of 17 and 24 have the opportunity to compete with identical material. The only things that count are performance and the learning curve, not the budget. A feature that guarantees spectacular overtaking manoeuvres is the so-called push-topass function. A red button on the steering wheel causes a short-term increase of boost pressure and thus raises the output of the two-litre engine by 50 hp. Action at the push of a button, proverbially speaking. The challenge of the competition attracts big names back into the cockpit as well. The racers who have already agreed to line up on the grid in 2013 are the Formula 1 stars Johnny Herbert, Mika Salo and Marc Surer, the World Rally Champions Juha Kankkunen and Markku Aln, the vetime Le Mans winners Emanuele Pirro and Frank Biela as well as the DTM stars Nicola Larini, Laurent Aiello, Eric van de Poele, Kurt Thiim and Klaus Niedzwiedz. The DTM Allstars will be competing against the other great racers in a team classication of their own. Consequently, there will be a duel of two vs. two per weekend. And the end of the season will show whether the DTM Allstars are the front runners. In 2013 nine rounds of the season at six events are on the calendar. Besides the two highlights at Hockenheim, where the opener and the nale are traditionally held, the round at the Norisring in the middle of July is a real treat for drivers and fans. For the race at Spielberg the series goes to Austria. After visiting the tradition-steeped Nrburgring the penultimate round at Oschersleben, due to its proximity to the Volkswagen plant in Wolfsburg, is a home round.
