Red Bull Ring
The Red Bull Ring will be the season opener of the DTM for the first time in 2026. The circuit in Spielberg ranks as the fastest on the calendar and features significant elevation changes that challenge drivers. The track with seven right-hand and three left-hand corners exhibits considerable height variations with maximum gradients of 12 percent. Spielberg has hosted the DTM in Austria since 2001, after the series previously visited the Salzburgring four times. Following its reopening in 2011, the DTM became the first major racing series to compete on the modern facility.
