2026 is DTM's 40th season, and it opens with a first: for the first time the championship starts outside Germany. The season begins in Austria at the Red Bull Ring in April, before building toward the traditional finale at the Hockenheimring in October.
The GT3 grid keeps growing. Lamborghini's all-new Temerario joins the field, taking over from the Huracán, and adds to a line-up that already spans Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Ford and McLaren.
The shape of the season is unchanged: eight weekends, two sprint races each, for sixteen races, scored on the familiar top-fifteen points scale with a 3-2-1 qualifying bonus. The street race around Nuremberg's Norisring remains the calendar's biggest draw.
