Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg
The Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg has been the traditional home of the DTM season finale for 30 years. GT3 cars from eight manufacturers and some of the world's best GT drivers battle for the championship in an open title fight. The circuit was completely rebuilt in 2002 by designer Hermann Tilke, reduced from seven to four-and-a-half kilometres with spectacular turns replacing long forest straights. Since 2020, Hockenheimring has been the final race on the DTM calendar. High-speed straights and heavy braking zones create prime overtaking action while stadium-style atmosphere maintains constant on-track intensity.
