Assen and Zolder added to 2019 DTM calendar
The 2019 DTM calendar has been released, featuring nine rounds of which two venues are new compared to this year with Assen making its debut to the German championship and Zolder returning.
“We keep on offering a well-balanced mix of events at Germany’s most popular racetracks and attractive circuits in further European markets,” said ITR Managing Director Achim Kostron.
“In 2018, we returned – after long breaks – to the United Kingdom and Italy – two countries with huge motor-sport tradition and enthusiastic crowds. It’s extremely important for us to keep on gaining a foothold there and increase our fan base. I particularly look forward to the DTM debut at Assen’s GP circuit. The Netherlands traditionally have been a constant of the DTM calendar and in 2019 we will hold our debut meeting at the tradition-rich TT Circuit. And the comeback at Zolder, so to speak the ‘birthplace’ of DTM, of course has got a very special charm.”
The season starts and ends traditionally at Hockenheim in May and October respectively.
Gone from the calendar compared to this year are the Hungaroring, Zandvoort and the Red Bull Ring, also meaning that the calendar moves from ten races to nine.
The official pre-season test will be held on April 15-18th at the Lausitzring.
